working (that is: producing a piece of imprinted paper upon request) , whereas this one is not.
You can create any print queue you like, even if the print server (aka: printer) you specify for it does not exist at all. The print queue will be shown as "READY" as long as nobody tries to print anything via it, because the printing subsystem will not poll the print server for readiness. With the first (failing) job the queue will go down and remain that way until taken "UP" again by the "qadm" (or equivalent) command.
I hope this helps.

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

qmail-queue
qmail-queue(8) System Manager's Manual qmail-queue(8)
NAME
qmail-queue - queue a mail message for delivery
SYNOPSIS
qmail-queue
DESCRIPTION
qmail-queue reads a mail message from descriptor 0. It then reads envelope information from descriptor 1. It places the message into the
outgoing queue for future delivery by qmail-send.
The envelope information is an envelope sender address followed by a list of envelope recipient addresses. The sender address is preceded
by the letter F and terminated by a 0 byte. Each recipient address is preceded by the letter T and terminated by a 0 byte. The list of
recipient addresses is terminated by an extra 0 byte. If qmail-queue sees end-of-file before the extra 0 byte, it aborts without placing
the message into the queue.
Every envelope recipient address should contain a username, an @ sign, and a fully qualified domain name.
qmail-queue always adds a Received line to the top of the message. Other than this, qmail-queue does not inspect the message and does not
enforce any restrictions on its contents. However, the recipients probably expect to see a proper header, as described in qmail-header(5).
Programs included with qmail which invoke qmail-queue will invoke the contents of $QMAILQUEUE instead, if that environment variable is set.
FILESYSTEM RESTRICTIONS
qmail-queue imposes two constraints on the queue structure: each mess subdirectory must be in the same filesystem as the pid directory; and
each todo subdirectory must be in the same filesystem as the intd directory.
EXIT CODES
qmail-queue does not print diagnostics. It exits 0 if it has successfully queued the message. It exits between 1 and 99 if it has failed
to queue the message.
All qmail-queue error codes between 11 and 40 indicate permanent errors:
11 Address too long.
31 Mail server permanently refuses to send the message to any recipients. (Not used by qmail-queue, but can be used by programs offering
the same interface.)
All other qmail-queue error codes indicate temporary errors:
51 Out of memory.
52 Timeout.
53 Write error; e.g., disk full.
54 Unable to read the message or envelope.
55 Unable to read a configuration file. (Not used by qmail-queue.)
56 Problem making a network connection from this host. (Not used by qmail-queue.)
61 Problem with the qmail home directory.
62 Problem with the queue directory.
63 Problem with queue/pid.
64 Problem with queue/mess.
65 Problem with queue/intd.
66 Problem with queue/todo.
71 Mail server temporarily refuses to send the message to any recipients. (Not used by qmail-queue.)
72 Connection to mail server timed out. (Not used by qmail-queue.)
73 Connection to mail server rejected. (Not used by qmail-queue.)
74 Connection to mail server succeeded, but communication failed. (Not used by qmail-queue.)
81 Internal bug; e.g., segmentation fault.
91 Envelope format error.
