This patch implements a mode when a printer returns ENOSPC when it runs out of paper. The default remains the same as before. An application which wishes to use this function has to enable it explicitly with an ioctl LPABORT. This is done on a request by our (Fedora) CUPS guy, Tim Waugh. The API is similar enough to the lp0's one that CUPS works with both (but see below), but it's has some differences. Most importantly, the abort mode is persistent in case of lp0: once tunelp was run your cat fill blow up until you reboot or run tunelp again. For usblp, I made it so the abort mode is only in effect as long as device is open. This way you can mix and match CUPS and cat(1) freely and nothing bad happens even if you run out of paper. It is also safer in the face of any unexpected crashes. It has to be noted that mixing LPABORT and O_NONBLOCK is not advised. It probably does not do what you want: instead of returning -ENOSPC it will always return -EAGAIN (because it would otherwise block while waiting for the paper). Applications which use O_NONBLOCK should continue to use LPGETSTATUS like before. Finally, CUPS actually requires patching to take full advantage of this. It has several components; those which invoke LPABORT work, but some of them need the ioctl added. This is completely compatible, you can mix old CUPS and new kernels or vice versa.
