RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

error_log with offending job

Description of problem:

Printer is configured with the policy "retry-job", yet is paused anyway when a job fails.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

cups-1.6.3-40.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:

Currently not at all. Retrying the job caused it to succeed.


Actual results:

Printer paused.


Expected results:

Printer moves on to the next job in the queue.


Additional info:

Not reported upstream as the version of CUPS in RHEL 7 is ancient. Upstream seems to have fixes on this theme in newer versions though:

Excerpt from error_log attached.

Hi Pierre

D'oh, forgot that I already wrote something :)

Hi Pierre,

thank you for taking the time to report this issue! I appreciate the feedback and use reports such as this one to guide our efforts at improving our products. That being said, this bug tracking system is not a mechanism for requesting support, and I am not able to guarantee the timeliness or suitability of a resolution.

If this issue is critical or in any way time sensitive, please raise a ticket through the regular Red Hat support channels to ensure it receives the proper attention and prioritization to assure a timely resolution. 

For information on how to contact the Red Hat production support team, please visit:

IMO the issue does not seem critical (it happens only for several cases when ipp backend reports CUPS_BACKEND_STOP and the queue can be reenabled by 'cupsenable') for have it fixed in RHEL 7, but I would like to include the fix in RHEL 8.

So I'm closing this bug as WONTFIX and I'll open it for RHEL 8.
