Hi all,
I have an interesting problem. Using remote queues to print using jetdirect printers I am unable to get a printer to print multiple copies of a print job.
command being used:
lpr -P -#3 ./test

Also tried:
enq -P -C3 ./test
(same results)
Any ideas?

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

NAME
lprm - remove print requests from the print queue
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/lprm [-P destination] [-] [ request-ID...] [user...]
The lprm utility removes print requests (request-ID) from the print queue.
Without arguments, lprm deletes the current print request. lprm reports the name of the file associated with print requests that it
removes. lprm is silent if there are no applicable print requests to remove.
Users can only remove print requests associated with their user name. See . If a superuser executes lprm and specifies the user operand,
lprm removes all print requests belonging to the specified user.
The print client commands locate destination information using the "printers" database in the name service switch. See nsswitch.conf(4),
printers(4), and printers.conf(4) for details.
The following options are supported:
-P destination The name of the printer or class of printers (see lpadmin(1M)) from which to remove print requests. Specify destination
using atomic or POSIX-style (server:destination) names. See printers.conf(4) for information regarding the naming conven-
tions for atomic names and standards(5) for information regarding POSIX.
- If a user specifies this option, removes all print requests owned by that user. If a superuser specifies this option,
removes all requests in the print queue. Job ownership is determined by the user's login name and host name on the machine
from which lpr was executed. See .
The following operands are supported.
user Removes print requests associated with a specific user. Specify user as a valid user name. This option can only be used by
a superuser.
request-ID Removes a specific print request. Specify request-ID as the job number (Job) associated with a print request and reported
by lpq. See lpq(1B).
Example 1: Removing a print request
The following example removes request-ID 385 from destination killtree:
example% lprm -P killtree 385
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
non-zero An error occurred.
/var/spool/print/[cd]f* Spooling directories and files.
/var/spool/lp/* LP print queue
$HOME/.printers User-configurable printer database
/etc/printers.conf System printer configuration database
printers.conf.byname NIS version of /etc/printers.conf
printers.org_dir NIS+ version of /etc/printers.conf

Users can only remove print requests associated with their user name. By default, users can only remove print requests on the host from
which the print request was submitted. If a superuser has set user-equivalence=true in /etc/printers.conf on the print server, users can
remove print requests associated with their user name on any host. Superusers can remove print requests on the host from which the print
request was submitted. Superusers can also remove print requests from the print server.
Some print servers send cancelation notification to job owners when their print jobs have been cancelled. This notification usually comes
in the form of an email message. Cancelation notices cannot be disabled on a Solaris server.
