Lonni, 

Yes, I deleted some printers and re-created them. These are Zebra and HP
printers, some wireless and some wired. 

I changed some configuration and now f1, f2 and f3 are printed by order
f1, f3 and f2 :
- f1 printed first
- f2 reported error "Printer busy"
- cups waits 30 seconds then print f3 ( not f2 ), exactly from what
lpstat says "retry in 30 seconds".
- cups wait some more seconds ( about 4-5 seconds ) to print f2.

I will do some more changes in the config file and will report back.

Anyone knows how to change the "wait for 30 seconds of LPD" ? I could
not find the parameter to change this value.

Thanks,

Vu
