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 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). -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

I noticed the same thing. Since then, I do not use the kde printer manager anymore. In stead, I just use the commands lpq and lprm. CLI-GUI: 1-0. :-) Paul.

Does that work with cups? I didn't even try... I'll do so next time, thanks!. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Yes, it works very well. One thing that does not work very well, as already noticed by someone else, is error recovery from printer failure (paper jam, out of paper). It turns out that I have to cancel the current job and re-submit it (from the last page). Paul.

Well... it doesn't work here. The command lprm removes the job from the queue, that's true; but the page prints to the very end, I have to power-cycle the printer to actually stop it. Another issue, is that I still can not print mixed text and photos, the photos come out terrible :-( -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

lprm will clear jobs from the print queue which is in your computer. It will not clear the *buffer* in your printer. Unless the printer has a *cancel* button (my hp970 did) or a utility on the computer that will clear it's buffer, power-cycle is the only method I know. -- Patrick Shanahan Please avoid TOFU and trim >quotes< http://wahoo.no-ip.org Registered Linux User #207535 icq#173753138 @ http://counter.li.org

True enough. But this printer (canon 4000) does not have a buffer big enough to hold a whole page, which is sent in graphic mode. lprm worked in suse 7.3, ie, without cups, and stopped the printing about 4 four lines or printhead passes after issuing the command. Notice that if the job I sent was big I have to power cycle the printer more than once, because after I switch it on the computer keeps sending data. I think there is a cancel print command that can be sent to the printer, or even a reset, that clears the buffer. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Hi Carlos, It might be an idea to post the question to the Cannon Forum at Linuxprinting.com, someone there may have a better idea of your problem. http://www.linuxprinting.org/newsportal/thread.php3?name=linuxprinting.canon... -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------

Good idea... I'll take a note of that. Specially the photo quality worries me, the cancel job problem I can live with. I think I saw there or on the cups page a link to build my own driver, but instead of doing that I thought the cups update would have solved a few things - but not this one, pity. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

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.

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
