Hi there,

Use lpstat and hppi.

Regards, MB.

lpstat for printer list/job status

man lpstat for more info

cancel to kiil a job

man cancel for more info

lpshut shuts down spooler
lpsched starts spooler

'lpstat -t' from command line will tell you what printers are on the system, if they are enabled or disabled, if they have jobs queued, etc. Other switches available with the 'lpstat' command so take a look at 'man lpstat'.

To kill a print job use the 'cancel' command
Get the printer name and job-ID number from the 'lpstat' output and issue the command 'cancel

Again, look at the man pages 'man cancel'

lpstat -t ---> this will give you the list of printers installed with the status of the queue. man lpstat will give you more options .

Same thing can be done using SAM.
