How do I cancel print jobs?

Open a terminal, in Applications > Accesories > Terminal

and then type:

   sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart

This command will restart the CUPS or Common Unix Printer System.

Let me know if it works,

Plase, remember that any user that will be administrator of Printer System, most be in the group lpadmin, you can check if you are a printer admin with the command:

 cat /etc/group | grep lpadmin

then result will be somthing like:

lpadmin:x:109:<YOUR USER NAME HERE>

Run:

lpq -a

and post the output.

A

Slackware 12.0: /etc/init.d/cupsys does not exist

Proper Incantation to restart using Slackware 12.0:

as root:

cd /etc/rc.d
./rc.cups restart

result will be ~:

root@TIGGER:/etc/rc.d# ./rc.cups restart
cups: restarted scheduler. [ OK ]
root@TIGGER:/etc/rc.d#

to confirm cups is running (Slackware 12.0)"

ps-ef | grep cups

if running, output will be similar to:

root@TIGGER:/etc/rc.d# ps -ef | grep cups
root 3355 1 0 16:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/cupsd
root 4924 4908 0 21:01 pts/1 00:00:00 grep cups

combined with powering off the 3210xi for 4 hours before restarting, and
restarting cups in the meantime, problem is solved.

Thank you for all your time and effort.

I should have googled a bit more before I jumped in and asked questions for
which answers were not easily available but... available.
