Not able to delete print jobs

#1 Post by firak »

I' m amazed of the pyppy linux power!
I youst have a small plorblem:
If i desire to delete printer jobs, cups refuse to do it.
It happed first time when the printer was in use and connected.
I open cups - ask to dlelete job and it refusewith errror "client-error-forbidden"
actualiy i ghive up and print the unnecessary job.

Now i try without the printer connected, to sendto print a document, and try to delete the job with cups. inpossibel. same error.

Is somebody face a probem like this?

what canI do to cacel print jobs?

cuos errorr ERROR client-error-forbidden
printer connectet or not -hp 940
cups 1.1.23
ppyuppy 4.1.1

Go to a console and type

Code: Select all

lprm -
Don't forget to type the dash character at the end.

thaks rcrsn51 .
it works !

the comand you suggest "lprm -" did not work first time.
I set with cups the printer whith the holding job, as default printer.
I try agnan the comand "lprm -" and it delete the job.

thaks rcrsn51 for the immedial support,
thak linux whith e clear cosole.

(seems olso thath reboot the compiuter it deletes printer jobs - thak can be ona other solution)
