How do I increase the CUPS IPP/HTTP timeout?
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
