Hi

Urgent one here - how do I cancel a print once it's started when the 'cancel' command won't work? I've got a print coming off my laserjet from someone several hundred miles away, that's 7000 pages! I need my printer back fast - I can't stop it with 'cancel' as it keeps telling me the printer isn't busy. Well it damn well is - Sco doesn't know what it's talking about!

Please can someone help? The LJ is on an HP JetDirect 500X print server, and normally with these unix jobs, if we cancel the job at the printer, it starts again from stratch! Same if I reboot the JetDirect!

S'okay - I killed it off in the spooler in /var/spool. Should have though of that sooner.

Thanks anyway
