My printer is set up on an linux server running cups/samba. It's used by both linux and windows workstations. Every once in a while I get this error on the linux workstation:

Call timed out: server did not respond after 10000 milliseconds closing remote file

Then both printconf ( redhat-config-printer ) and the GNOME Print Manager show the printer is down - cute little red X . Neither give any way to restart the printer.

I can go to the cups web interface :631 and restart the printer, which works. Then printconf and GPM are happy.

Shouldn't printconf have a restart feature? Isn't it just a link to lpadmin?
