[Bug 1020048] Re: after certain time printing to cups stops working
** Description changed:
- in our institution we are running only printers through a cups server.
- while freshly opened document prints well, after some time (few minutes)
- clicking "print file directly" and menu item "print" do not work any
- more. after close and open again, thing prints correctly. i have checked
- what exactly is going on in such cases and logs on the cups server don't
- show any submissions and/or errors so that the thing is obviously
- stopped at the level of libreoffice.

+ == Analysis ==
+ LibreOffice loses it's TCP connection to CUPS after exactly 5 minutes of inactivity and does not manage to reconnect.
+ To reproduce: print something (to a real printer or cups-pdf), wait 6 minutes not printing anything, and print again. Then, nothing is printed.
+
+ You can watch the TCP connection using
+ netstat -tpn | grep soffice
+ While it's working, it looks like this:
+ tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:48810 127.0.0.1:631 ESTABLISHED 13976/soffice.bin
+ After 5 minutes, that connection is gone permanently.
+
+ == Workaround ==
+ Add the line
+ Timeout 62400
+ to the top of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf . This sets the timeout to 24 hours and fixes the issue (verified on Ubuntu 12.04).
