Printer Failure
Sunday, February 10, 2013 3:25 PM
Problem(s) Encountered:
Printer not working- virtual memory full? but we can''t see jobs to
cancel.
Solutions:
I cleared the queue, here''s how
1) login to mdm as root
2) type "lpstat -t" to see if there are stuck jobs in the print
queue (there were)
3) type "cancel -a" which clears the queue(s)
and then power cycle the printer, as the queue is likely stuck because
the printer is confused.
Someone tossed a 41.5Mb print job at the printer, that''s why it was unhappy.
