However, if you use a tag of "INFO: ", the message will be displayed in Print Center (10.2) or the jobs window for the current printer (10.3).

So, there is no way to get the user's attention if there is a printer error (e.g. a paper jam)? I would have hoped some sort of dialog would be displayed by PSU or the little status app created for the queue.

You can always use CFUserNotificationDisplayNotice, or some other notification service; but I've never seen any CUPS components do this. By default, if there's an error, the queue will be stopped and a little badge will appear on the printer icon in the Dock. I'm not sure there is a need for another notification mechanism.

I've tried the following lines at the start of the job, while getting rasters, and at the end of the job. The queue monitor quits at the end and I don't see any badging in the dock, any alerts, or see the queue get put on hold. It shows up in the log, but that's it.

fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: This is a bad error\n");
return 1;

Thoughts?
