Can you help me with a runaway printer? (Canon BJ200, using
Potato and with apsfilter). Somehow, being careless, I have
managed to put a huge (around 1mb) file into the printer queue;
and I cannot stop the SOAB from printing, reams and reams of
Postscript code.
I've switched it off and tried "lprm" both as user and as root;
I located the folder in /var/spool/lp where the job was being
sourced and removed the two files and the lockfile that applied
to that task - that approach did the trick n Mandrake but not
with debian - STILL it keeps printing. I have tried "killing"
lpd while the thing is printing.......
There must be a cheaper way than lettinmg the thing run through
two ink cartridges. Can anyone tell me how?
Thanks in advance,
Glyn M
