Random duplicated print jobs
I have a weird problem, about 6 times a day a print job will be printed twice (out of more than 100 print jobs per day).
It seems as though sometimes a print job is not cleared from the print spooler after the first print, and then reprints.
This started a week ago after I had made printer changes to scoadmin.
I'm using Sco Version 5. I'm lost as to know where to start looking for the cause. Any help or suggestions please

Hello,
Sometimes i need to clear all the jobs of a print queue and it is really annoying to cancel one by one.
Is there a way to cancel all print jobs for a specific print queue with a single command instead of cancelling them one by one?
My AIX system is 5.3

foomatic-printjob
FOOMATIC-PRINTJOB(1) General Commands Manual FOOMATIC-PRINTJOB(1)
NAME
foomatic-printjob - manage printer jobs in a spooler-independent fashion
SYNOPSIS
foomatic-printjob [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -o option1=value1 -o option2 ... ] [ -i ] [ file1 file2 ... ]
foomatic-printjob -Q [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -i ] [ -a ] [ user1 user2 ... ]
foomatic-printjob -R [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -i ] [ - | jobid1 jobid2 ... ]
foomatic-printjob -C [ -s spooler ] [ -i ] command [ arguments ]
foomatic-printjob -S [ -s spooler ] [ -i ]
foomatic-printjob -h [ -s spooler ] [ -P queuename ] [ -i ]
DESCRIPTION
foomatic-printjob provides a spooler-independent interface to creating and managing printer jobs and print queues. Note that the first
argument changes the mode of the command, as it combines the functionality of several System V-style printing commands.
OPTIONS
-sspooler Explicit spooler type.
-Pqueuename
Any commands specified should apply to this queue instead of the default.
-ooption=value
Set option to value
-ooption Set the switch option
-#n Print n copies
file1 file2 ...
Files to be printed, when no file is given, standard input will be printed
-Q Query the jobs in a queue. If a list of users is specified, only those users' jobs will be queried.
-Q -a Query the jobs in all queues. If a list of users is specified, only those users' jobs will be queried.
-R [ - | jobid1 jobid2 ... ]
Remove a job from a queue. Using - will remove all jobs.
-C command [ arguments ]
Execute control commands for queue/job manipulation. The commands are the ones of the BSD "lpc" utility. Use the control command
"help" to get a list of supported commands. Note: the amount of commands varies with the spooler, but the same commands given
under different spoolers do the same thing.
-i Interactive mode: You will be asked if foomatic-printjob is in doubt about something. Otherwise foomatic-printjob uses auto-
detection or quits with an error.
-S Save the chosen spooler as the default spooler
-h Show this message or show a list of available options if a queue is specified
