Hi,

My mom has the problem that everytime she turns on her computer, it
sends the very same job "automatically" to the printer. So in fact
there is no chance to print anything else, because after the first
page of that particular doc she used to turn OFF the printer! As I
understood, she has to, otherwise gets just copies of that previous
doc...
I guess she sent the same job few times to the printer and that's why
its coming constantly; anyway turning off the printer helps only to
save paper, but seemingly does not solve the situation :(

Please any ideas to make her comp forget about ALL the cups-jobs?!
I have ssh access to that comp; anything else she could do locally.

Thank you,
Pelibali
If you or your mother have root authority, sign on as root or su to root. Then
go to /var/spool/cups. Clear the jobs there and in the /tmp directory. I'm
pretty sure this will clear all the spooled jobs.

Hope this helps.
