What to do when something goes wrong in a print job: paper jam, wrong pages, etc.
1 Method 1: BrowserIn your browser visit http://localhost:631/ (localhost:631 works for me). Click on the "Jobs" tab, identify the job on the list of print jobs (probably the last one) and click on the "Cancel" button. 2 Method 2: GnomeIn Gnome, open the printer icon in the top panel. Alternatively, from the desktop menu: Desktop -> Administration -> Printing -> Your-printer-icon (double-click) Identify the job on the list of print jobs, right-click on the job for the context menu and click on "Cancel". 3 Method 3: command lineTo terminate all processes still using the printer device, even after deleting the job from the queue, use this command: fuser -k /dev/lp0 for a printer on the first parallel port, or fuser -k /dev/usb/lp0 for the first usb printer. 4 Appendix A: LicenceCopyright (c) 2007 Chris Lale, chrislale AT users DOT berlios DOT de
