The lpq command brought up the printer jobs, but I could not delete them. Am I trying the wrong way? I highlight, then press delete.

Ok, so basically, what the lpq command is returns a bunch of info for the job queues. then as root, type in lprm 1234 (1234 being one of the job ids) try that and let us know how that works. -Robby -- /*************************************** * Robby Russell | Owner.Developer.Geek * PLANET ARGON | www.planetargon.com * Portland, OR | [email protected] * 503.351.4730 | blog.planetargon.com * PHP/PostgreSQL Hosting & Development ****************************************/ _______________________________________________ PDXLUG mailing list [email protected] http://pdxlug.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxlug
