How do I increase the CUPS IPP/HTTP timeout?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • Some applications keep CUPS connections open for longer than 5 minutes, exceeding the default CUPS Timeout.
  • Our application runs a function to send the output of a routine to print, but takes 10+ minutes to run before data is created, CUPS kills the job after 5 minutes and the following error appears:

    E [09/Aug/2018:09:58:56 -0400] [Job 116444] Aborting job because it has no files.
    

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5, 6, and 7
  • Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) 1.3.7, 1.4.2, and 1.6.3
