This is the first in a series of at least 3 cries for help, each on a separate sub-part of my goal of making sense of cups, lpd and Windows Vista.
I have cups (fully updated) running successfully on my Gentoo system, except for one thing: sometimes a job fails to print at first ( don't bother asking why -- I don't know and cannot reconstruct it now). This has left a few jobs in the cups queue. I could delete them, but I would rather print them. The problem is that although cups can print new jobs, I don't know any way to get it to go back and print the three that are there now. Here's what it's telling me: treat kevin # lpstat -t scheduler is running system default destination: lp0 device for lp0: parallel:/dev/lp0 lp0 accepting requests since Sun Apr 13 13:07:25 2008 printer lp0 is idle. enabled since Sun Apr 13 13:07:25 2008 lp0-155 kevin 4096 Fri Mar 28 15:04:34 2008 lp0-156 kevin 4096 Fri Mar 28 15:04:44 2008 lp0-235 root 6144 Sat Apr 12 20:11:37 2008 treat kevin # The printer is an HP LaserJet 4m, direct attached by centronix cable to the machine where at least the first two jobs originated.
