The command for removing a job from the printer spool is lprm
.
If your job is currently printing and you wish to stop it, you can use
the lprm with no arguments.
NOTE: removing the currently printing job can mess up some printers, notify the Tutors or Sysgroup if you need to do this.
To remove a specific job,
you will need to use lpq
to get the job number, and then
use the job number as an argument to lprm. Assuming the queue
shown in section lpq, the following command would remove `lynnette''s
print job.
lprm 461
The argument `-' will remove all jobs that you own.
As with lpr
and lpq
you can specify a printer with the
`-P' option.
