Printing problem
« on: January 10, 2002, 08:29:16 AM »
I printed something from my client PC (which is actually running Mandrake 8.1 linux), but the printer wasn't configured properly on the client side. The printer proceeded to spew out blank pages, and only paused when I removed all of the blank pages. The printer has run out of paper, but the print keeps trying ot print. How can I tell my SME 5 server to stop printing this particular job?

Thanks

Let me just make a change to my original post. I can stop the job on the server, but how can I force the printer from SME to clear it's buffer so to speak? It's still spewing out pages even though I've deleted the job from the queue.

Thanks

That didn't seem to fix it.

Same problem, I have seemed to clear the que but the printer keeps spewing pages of crap.

How do I clear this on e-smiths side without having to reboot :-(
