Re: [rhn-users] printer looping

[Naresh Maharaj <turtles totalise co uk>]

If you print a file and then decide you actually didn't want to print it you can remove from the print queue using either the lprm command or the cancel command. First you must determine the print job sequence number by typing 'lpq -Pqueuename' which displays the jobs in the print queue. Then type 'lprm -Pqueuename sequence_number' to remove the Job. You could also type 'cancel queuename-sequence_number' do remove the job. For example user joeavg want to remove job 432 from the gaul printer queue.

	% lpq -Plw
	Rank   Owner      Job  Files                        Total Size
	1st    joeavg     432  .cshrc                       3495 bytes
	% lprm -Plw 432
	scrap: dfA432arles dequeued
	scrap: cfA432arles dequeued
	%

or, using the cancel command:

	% lpq -Plw
	Rank   Owner      Job  Files                        Total Size
	1st    joeavg     432  .cshrc                       3495 bytes
	% cancel lw-432
	scrap: dfA432arles dequeued
	scrap: cfA432arles dequeued
	%

With either command you may list more than one job to be removed. You must enter these commands from the same computer which you queued the jobs. Also, you cannot delete other peoples jobs.
