How do I stop a print job?
-
You need to know the job number of the print process. The lpq command can be used to display all the active print jobs in the queue of a printer. For example, to find the print jobs on the printer dilbert, type lpq -Pdilbert. A list of jobs will then be displayed.
-
After you have identified the print process you would like to delete, use the lprm command to remove the print process from the queue. For example, to remove the print process 385 from dilbert, type in lprm -Pdilbert 385. Please note that you can only remove processes that you own.
