Miquel,

You need to remove all the prints scheduled to the printer you wish to remove, or move them to a new printer. I think you can remove all the prints through sam, or do an lpstat -o and cancel all the prints for that printer. Once done you will be able to remove the printer in sam.

Hope it is ok,

Is the /var/spool/lp/outputq file ownership correctly set?

It should be similar to this
# /var/spool/lp/outputq
-rw-r--r-- 1 lp sys 996 Nov 7 11:41 outputq

If its not lp:sys; use chown to change it, ie:

# cd /var/spool/lp
# chmod lp:sys outputq

Hello Miguel:

The problem is that you have jobs queued in the printer.This step that you need:

1) stop scheluder with 'lpshut'
2) cancel printer job with 'cancel -e '
3) remove printer with 'lpadmin -x'
4)start scheluder with 'lpsched -v'


Best regards

The other option you have is, as suggested by the error message, to use 'lpmove' to assign the pending requests to another print queue, if you have one. Once they are moved, you should be able to delete the printer.
