[K12OSN] Printing problem

Hi,

    I am running 4.2.1EL that has been upgraded through yum a few 
times.  I have been very pleased with the way it runs.  It has been 
doing a great job for a year and half!

    Now, my print queue is stopping and print jobs are backing up.  I 
need to go in and manually restart the queue.  This has not been 100%.  
Sometimes it is solved by rebooting the server.  The printer is a HP1320 
laser printer set up to print from one of the clients.  It is set up as 
a JetDirect printer through cups.  It has been working without issue for 
the past year.  I had this problem on the previous server that was 
K12ltsp running RedHat 9.  It had gotten messed by a messy yum conf 
file.  This time around, I have been very careful to not play with the 
yum conf file. 

    So, my question is has anybody else had a problem with their CUPS 
print queue stopping?  Did anybody find the answer what was causing the 
queue to stop?  I would appreciate any suggestions as to how I can fix 
my print queue problem.

Thanks!!

Dan
