> A bit naughty but I have been known to pull out the cable in the past! If you mean the data cable, this doesn't even stop the printing (printer buffer content still gets printed). The power cable/switch does the trick though. It does however not remove the remaining job data from the queue! The problem is that once printing has started, cups can't clear out the USB interface again. Yeah you can remove the job from the queue, it'll even work if the queue is local[1], but it still doesn't kill the process which shoves the print data out the USB interface! Volker [1] Last time I looked (about 1y ago), for setups where you have a local queue which forwards to a remote queue, like you always have in an office/lab, some cups &@$&**@ decided to only give you the status of, or remove jobs from, the local queue. As the local queue immediately drains to the remote queue, you can not ever do anything useful!! lprng does this properly. -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
