Maybe that was the problem with > the Print Job Admin tool, I wasn't logged in as root. I have had one that CUPS would not do either. In the end I learnt a lot about Linux: In the command line use ps -ax to see all the processes. I then learn to pipe those to grep to find the processess related to the printer eg: ps -ax | grep l or ps -ax | grep parallel etc. then use kill <process#> to get rid of it. The last one that CUPS would not do could not be killed that way either! I used: kill -s SIGKILL 2345 That did it! Walter -- Walter Logeman Psychotherapist http://www.psybernet.co.nz
