Are you trying to erase jobs owned by 'root' as {user}? Try as root.

Yes I always do that as root, and got the jobs erased using lprm, but the printer is still not accessible: lpq DJ895 is not ready no entries I have just tested the DJ895 with my Windows computer in the same network, and it is printing ok. As told I use a HP JetDircet 500x. Then my conclution is, that it has something with the setup on my linuxbox. What say ? -- Venlig hilsen - Best regards - Erik Jakobsen SuSE Linux 10.0 Eval..

How can I erase the 2 jobs ?.

First make sure that root is part of the print system using lppasswd -a root (supply a password) and then use the cancel command: cancel 167, cancel 168.

Hi Ken. I got the 2 jobs cancelled by lprm, but the HP DJ895 is still not active: lpq DJ895 is not ready no entries I wonder why, cause I haven't touched anything in the printersetup. -- Venlig hilsen - Best regards - Erik Jakobsen SuSE Linux 10.0 Eval..

Could be anything, use enable DJ895 and see if it becomes active again.

I have tested with enable: enable DJ895 -bash: enable: DJ895: not a shell builtin What am I told here ?.

-bash: enable: DJ895: not a shell builtin

Then your next step would/should be to find why 'enable' did not work. First hint was 'not a shell builtin'. Next step 'man enable' humm seems enable *is* a shell builtin guess then that 'DJ895' is not a builtin then 'enable DJ895' won't work. BUT, 'locate enable | grep bin' yealds: /usr/bin/enable solution: to execute /usr/bin/enable instead of the shell builtin the full path is required, ie: /usr/bin/enable DJ895 -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2

Try /usr/bin/enable DJ895 instead. I don't understand why there is a conflict here, there has been for a long time.

Thank you Ken, thank you all that has helped me so kindly. The /usr/bin/enable DJ895 did the trick. We can hope, that this conflict will be solved soon.

LS != ls

windoz, dir = DIR

Thanks Patrick for the explanation. -- Venlig hilsen - Best regards - Erik Jakobsen SuSE Linux 10.0 Eval.. Licensed HAM-RADIO with the callsign OZ4KK http://www.urbakken.dk Registered Linux user #114875 with http://counter.li.org

I do so little in DOS & Windows that I created a batch file ls.bat to get around forgetting. BTW I think we have a similar alias called dir.

I don't guess I understand your point. The reference to ls and dir was only to show case sensitivity, not that the commands were similar. The statement about a "similar alias" is also not understood. SUSE does provide a default alias of 'ls -l' to dir, but you may alias nearly anything, including multiple commands. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2

After a little more insight it won't be solved anytime soon. enable is a bash shell builtin command and conflicts with the /usr/bin/enable command. Don't know which one came first but one of them needs to be changed to something else.

The easiest way round the problem is to use alias e.g. alias enable_DJ='/usr/bin/enable DJ895' Then all you need to do is run enable_DJ whenever you need to enable this printer. The command can be set in either ~/.bashrc or ~/.alias if the ~/.bashrc is configured to read ~/.alias file. See man alias for more details. -- Regards, Graham Smith

alias enable_DJ='/usr/bin/enable DJ895'

Then, why not use the real name of '/usr/bin/enable' instead? It is a symlink to something else, you know... that's not it's real name.

You can also use "lpadmin -E", or the web interface to cups, which is easier to remember.

I did try the web interface -:631-, but what does the job here ? -- Venlig hilsen - Best regards - Erik Jakobsen SuSE Linux 10.0 Eval.. Licensed HAM-RADIO with the callsign OZ4KK http://www.urbakken.dk Registered Linux user #114875 with http://counter.li.org
