Cancelling Multiple Print Requests on Sco 5.0.5 1

[andycox]

I have a server at one of our sites with over 1000 print requests.
Is there a command which will cancel all print requests to the particular printer in question?

I can't remember whether this is available in SCO, but try:

[tt]lprm -P printername -[/tt]

Annihilannic.

lprm command is not vaailable in SCO.

Here'a 1-line command which will save you LOTS of typing:
Assume the printer ID is "P0" (change this to match your configuration).

# cancel `lpstat -o P0|awk '{ print $1 '}`

Note the use of backtic/accent " ` " and single quotes " ' ".
