Graham type lpq at command line,get the job no, followed by lprm 'job no' that should do the trick. Richard G Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Since you want a c/l, I checked the properties, and it seems to run /usr/lib/cups/scripts/cupsWebAdmin 1/dev/null 2/dev/null It's worth a try.

Graham Best way to kill a print job is lpq ( to show what printjob is running) then lprm (number) y/n y enter that zaps the printjob, but everything that has reached the printer's buffer memmory has to go through regardless, one reason not to have a particularly large buffer printer memory. unfortuneately none of th gui intefaces are much good at cancelling printjobs, at least that has been my experience) John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Anne I find after an lprm, I also have to simultaneously power down both the printer and the computer.
