1) cd /var/spool/lp
2) ls FIFO, CCHEDLOCK
3) lpstat -r (* still running? *)
4) lpshut (* if running *)
5) rm FIFO, SCHEDLOCK, outputq, *lock
6) >outputq
7) >log
8) ps -ef | grep -i lp
9) kill all lp pids from 8)
10) lpsched -v
11) more log

not sure exactly what the error 141 is (haven't got access to a system right now) but at a guess it is either a permission or network problem.

To cancel the print jobs:
# cancel -e

This will remove all 28 jobs.

Oops... /usr/bin/enable printer.
/usr/bin/accept printer.

Hi,
with "lpstat -p" you can check the status of all printers.
If one is disabled you can enable it with "enable Printername".
Jobs can be canceled by:
1. lpstat -d Printername
The output shows the jobnames
2. cancel Jobname

Regards,
Stefan
