Unfortunately, those documents are probably still in Linux's print
queue. That's why when he turns the computer back on later and the
printer is available again, it continues printing all of mom's failed
documents.
Here's what you do to fix it:
1) Login as root.
2) Type 'lpq'. This will show all of the jobs spooled in the print
queue. It'll look something like this:
lp is ready and printing
Rank Owner Job Files Total Size
active sphilp 2 escher.ps 10520 bytes
3) Type the command 'lprm <X>', where <X> is the number in the Job
column, to remove a job from the print queue. You'll have to do this
for every job that you want to get rid of.
Hope we got the help to you in time!
