Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.
Description of problem:
cupsd.conf(5) includes:
ErrorPolicy retry-this-job
but that's incorrect. The directive is "retry-current-job" not
"retry-this-job". It's not a huge deal but it occasionally causes
confusion which results in a case being opened.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cups-2.2.6-44.el8.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run 'man cupsd.conf'
Actual results:
Bad information
Expected results:
Correct information

Hi Bryan,
thank you for reporting the issue!
I just checked the scheduler code to be sure - scheduler/conf.c:
1256 /*
1257 * Validate the default error policy...
1258 */
1259
1260 if (strcmp(ErrorPolicy, "retry-current-job") &&
1261 strcmp(ErrorPolicy, "abort-job") &&
1262 strcmp(ErrorPolicy, "retry-job") &&
1263 strcmp(ErrorPolicy, "stop-printer"))
1264 {
1265 cupsdLogMessage(CUPSD_LOG_ALERT, "Invalid ErrorPolicy \"%s\", resetting to \"stop-printer\".", ErrorPolicy);
1266 cupsdSetString(&ErrorPolicy, "stop-printer");
1267 }
No "retry-this-job" there, so it is really manpage bug.
Since we will have an errata for RHEL 8.7.0, we can fix this as well.
There's no need for test for this issue.
Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
resolution of ERRATA.
For information on the advisory (cups bug fix and enhancement update), and where to find the updated
