lptstat results

[Pat_52]

Hello,

when running the lptstat command I am getting the following results.....

printer1 user priority 0 Oct 10 11:30(standardinput) 439101 bytes

Can anyone tell me what this means, and how to fix it?

Thank you

Hi Pat,

Appears you ran an lp command where standardinput was in fact the standard input & it's never closed. So lp is sitting there waiting for std input to close.

What you should do is

lpstat -t

To get all info - hopefully the print job name will be there. Then use cancel to stop the job.

Let's say lpstat -t shows the job to be printer1-345
Then you'd enter
cancel printer1-345
to remove the job.

HTH,
Jeff
