+
+ Usually, if a CUPS backend exits with an error status other than zero
+ (for example if a printer is not turned on or not reachable on the
+ network), CUPS disables the print queue and one can only print again
+ if a system administrator re-enables the queue manually. Even restarting
+ CUPS (or rebooting) does not re-enable disabled queues.
+
+ This script makes the handling of such backend errors configurable, so
+ that the problem can easily be worked around. The execution of the backend
+ can be periodically repeated and/or the error state of the backend can
+ be kept away from CUPS, so that the queue stays active.
+
+ See instructions in the beginning of the beh script and in the USAGE file.
