I'm unable to cancel print jobs from cups.
If I use the web interface at http://localhost:631, I get
Error: client-error-forbidden
The "/var/log/cups/error_log" files shows this error: E [20/Feb/2003:13:38:57 +0100] hold_job: "" not authorized to hold job id 108 owned by "cer"! It seems the web interface is trying as user "", ie, no user.
If I try from the "kde printing manager", it allows me to cancel the job, but the printer goes on printing; I have to power cycle it, and usually it tries to continue printing again, maybe a blank page (an inkjet type, with insufficient memory to hold a page in memory buffer).
The same logs says it succeeded, but it lies: I [20/Feb/2003:13:39:23 +0100] Job 108 was held by 'cer'. I [20/Feb/2003:13:39:33 +0100] Job 108 was cancelled by 'cer'. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
