I have a couple of users who like sending test prints to a particular printer in the mornings.
Normally, I would cancel a print job by doing
cancel report-xxx (where xxx is a number)
However, when I do this, the command prompt does not come back to me. When they send 50 test prints, this means I have to open up 50 telnet sessions and cancel each print job individually. I tried to cancel the print jobs via scoadmin (using the print queue view), however, it won't delete the jobs properly. In the top right hand corner is like a status bar, and this is continually going. Doing an lpstat -u shows that the jobs in fact aren't deleted, but something is definitely happening as my command prompt is now not coming back to me after the lpstat (which it always used to).
Does anyone have any ideas what is going on here??
How can I get my command prompt back after lpstat, or after cancelling the jobs? Ctrl+C doesn't work...I think I've tried most escape sequences but none seem to work....
Thanks,
Sarah
