Yeah I already use "AppSocket/HP JetDirect" in cups. Check out
http://normal1.net/tcpdump for a real quick dump done when "Printing
test page".

After the print test is done, I go check on the job in "Manage Jobs"
and I see this,
    ID         Name     User  Size   State     Control
   HPPrinter-5  Test Page  root  15k   aborted  Restart Job
   HPPrinter-6  Test Page  root  15k   aborted  Restart Job
   HPPrinter-7  Test Page  root  15k   aborted  Restart Job
--
 
If I try to "Restart Job" this outputs:
Error:
 
     client-error-not-possible

and this is what the error_log from cups says:
E [22/Jan/2005:11:53:17 -0800] restart_job: job #5 cannot be restarted
- no files!
E [22/Jan/2005:11:53:27 -0800] PID 65224 stopped with status 3!
E [22/Jan/2005:11:58:48 -0800] restart_job: job #5 cannot be restarted
- no files!

Cheers!
