Hello,
Printing subsystem always baffles me. Printing in windows is very intuitive and easy. If I fire print job and if print cord is not connected to printer or printer is offline print spooler flashes warning within few seconds. But in Linux once print job is fired it is lost in black hole. Even if printer is offline or printer is not connected print spooler doesn't inform about it. I have tired lpd, lprng and CUPS all are more or less same. I wonder printing is so flaky in Linux?
Thanks
Regards,
Komal
