Ok, Andy, now that we know you are a "newbie", we can be a bit more
specific with details. A point, I might mention to other participants
on the list just coming over to Linux. In the subject, point out
"newbie alert", so things don't get too technical at first. Haines
City, huh? I just got back from visiting a friend in Cape Coral.
Since only "root" can remove files from those directories, I usually
follow these steps:
1. Open a shell
2. Type the command: kdesu konqueror (this starts a root file manager
window, so you can work within a gui)
3. A window will open asking for your root password, enter that and
your Konqueror window will open.
4. type in the directory: /var/spool/cups into the url box, press
enter
5. There you will see several files, remove/delete them (you can click
& drag your mouse pointer to highlight them and just press your delete
key or right click on the files to select "Delete" from the menu that
appears.
6. Once that is done, all files removed, close Konqueror, go back to
the shell and at the prompt login as root.
7. type: su <enter> password <enter> (if you are unsure if it worked,
type "whoami" at the prompt to be sure you are root. (don't include the
quotes in the command)
8. Now, type: rccups stop <enter>, then rccups start <enter> to stop
and restart your cups server.
9. Lastly, try printing again from one of your programs. I usually
just start up "kwrite", type a few words and print from there, because
you know it's a clean file.
good luck,
Lee
