That's interesting. I just ran:

qcan -X -Pprintname 1>/tmp/qcan.out 2>&1

and it cancelled all my jobs (showed nothing on the screen)....... but sent me an email about all the jobs it canceled.

Print sucks.

It probably some setting on AIX , I'm not sure where to look to correct this

thanks!

hfaix,

I think the soutions is system env.

Assign the Console
i changed Console
Console log VERBOSITY to 0 , but i need to reboot for changes take .

I was going to ask if you were on the console.

The -C flag to qprt will causes messages to be mailed instead of printed to your first login screen, but certain messages go to the console no matter what.

Rod Knowlton,

no not on console , any user that needs a print job canceled and i as master root user will cancel job and messages will appear on thier screen and they get confused
