Or to be more specific. First determine the JOB number of the job you
wish to purge. Do this with 'lpq'.
linuxnic@dude2:~> lpq
Printer: lp@dude2
Queue: 1 printable job
Server: pid 25785 active
Unspooler: pid 25786 active
Status: printed all 1250 bytes at 20:26:43
Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time
active linuxnic@dude2+784 A 784 /etc/hosts 1250 20:26:43
Now you can use 'lprm' to delete that specific print job from the
printer queue:
linuxnic@dude2:~> lprm 784
Printer lp@dude2:
checking 'linuxnic@dude2+784'
checking perms 'linuxnic@dude2+784'
dequeued 'linuxnic@dude2+784'
killing subserver '25786'
Bingo! The print job is purged :-)
Enjoy,
--- Jay
