FTP a print job that's still in queue?

HVHS_CJR · #1 (**permalink**) 04-24-2006

I have an HP-UX system that has remote print queues created on it. We're having trouble with the data so I stopped the queue from sending its data to the recieving server. I typed "lpstat -o<queue> " and I see two print jobs listed c_91428.1 and c_91429.1 but when I go to the /usr/spool/<queue> directory and type "ls" I get no results. It's like the directory is empty. Are these two jobs elsewhere? Is it even possible to ftp these files to my Windows PC? Right now the queue is set to accept requests but is not able to print... if that makes any difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

Well I just put a job in a queue on an HP-UX box. The printer name was "test". The data to be printed was /var/spool/lp/request/test/d* and there is a c* file which seems to a control file.

Hey!! There they are! Thank you! I never would have found that directory on my own. I can now ftp these files to my machine and work on them. Thanks again!!
