[S.u.S.E. Linux] Printer messed up!
Hi all!; Steve and I have been working on the apsfilter. But now I have another problem that has me dead in the water. I tried to print a one page picture file. I did it wrong and Lpr started to dump the raw file to the printer (i.e. 10101 etc). It is around 60 pages long. So I tryed the remove command, nothing. Then I checked with the lpq command the que was empty. I logout, then did init, and at last a reboot. Nothing stops my printer! Right now I have it turned off, but I'm still getting error reports to /var/log/messages. How do I get the SOB to stop? Thanks for your help.

You might try unpluging the printer's power cord to see if that will clear the printer's memory. I had a similar problem and it may be that you just have to let the print job run it's course. Jerome K. Michael Lankton wrote:
man lprm
The que is empty so lprm isn't going to do you much good.

If it does, delete it? Meanwhile, back at the ranch, is there anything in Linux that will allow me to change and print color? <PRE>-- cya l8r Leon McClatchey <A HREF="mailto:leonmcclatchey@homemail.com">mailto:leonmcclatchey@homemail.com</A> Party on Linux:-)</PRE>

... Probably You're printing to a remote printer via aps... In that case the remote queue is simply named 'remote'. Try to clean remote -> "lpc clean remote". If that does not work try "lpc clean all". If it doesn't work either, do a "lpc stat" and look out for something like '... entry in spool area', get that queue and clean it.
