Printer Setup Utility, starting a stopped printer.

I have a printer that sometimes stops. Since this is on a headless machine, I don't see it and users are upset..

Using Applescript I can see that the printer is stopped, but I can't figure out how to start it again without using "System Events".

Does anyone know how to do that.

I'm thinking it would be something like:

set thePrinter's status description to idle

Thanks

Below is the result of my query of my "stopped" printer.

tell application "Printer Setup Utility"

get current printer

--> printer "XeroxPhaser6300DN-192.168.44.103"

get properties of printer "XeroxPhaser6300DN-192.168.44.103"

--> {

kind:"Xerox Phaser 6300DN",

status description:"Stopped",

name:"XeroxPhaser6300DN-192.168.44.103",

class:printer,

status:stopped

}

set status of printer "XeroxPhaser6300DN-192.168.44.103" to idle

end tell
