Any printer I pinged did get a reply and I did verify that the qdaemon was running. I did just end up rebooting the machine and that fixed things. All the jobs in the queues started to print. It's just that in my years on working on the aix boxes, I'd never seen all the queues stop working like that and still am curious as to why. It's like some process stopped working for some reason. I saw nothing in errpt either..

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?
