hi,
an lpc abort <printer>;lpc redo <printer> should do the same for you
probably a lpc redo <printer> is eaven enough, maybe your problem could
be solved by using :lpd_force_poll:\
:lpd_poll_time=60:\
this will force the daemon to look periodically for inactive jobs in the
queue and resend them. If your job is stalled, it will probably not do
anything though :-(
regards
