Error when cancelling print job

[Steve Casino]

hello experts,

When I try to cancel a print job, i get the message below..I don't understand how they are connected. The job is removed but can anyone tell me why I'm getting these messages?

[root@xxxx:/var/spool/lp]
# cancel KPSHPLP1-407
request "KPSHPLP1-407" cancelled

Hi Steve,

Check if /etc is writable (it shouldn't be)

Best Regards,

Steve -- Looks like the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file is having problems.

Maybe you could post that file here so people can take a look and see if we can spot the problem.

Best regards,

Oz

Sendmail is broken because of a bad /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file. The reason that mail is scheduled after a cancel is to notify the owner of a print job that their job was cancelled. You'll need to fix the sendmail.cf file to get rid of the message.
