I also still have problems with printers going offline in cups. The show ready on the printerpanel.
Same solution as above, to get the printer running again. Now I have to
log into every server several times a day to do this. I got a tip from
the Norwegian Skolelinux list to make Firefox print through kprinter,
but it made no difference.

I too think this is some kind of cups thing from FC3. I went from FC1 to
FC3, and this never happened on FC1. I can't say that this happens with
letter/A4. I have set up A4 as default - also in Firefox' "all.js" file.
Is there perhaps some way of using another printserver than cups? What
about the old one from RH8? Was it called lprng or something? I have to
pursue every option as I'm getting desperate about this problem...
