Cancel Printing Problem
Hi guys,

Does any one know how to do script for cancel Print jobs. First it will ask for printer name or type and then show all print queus then remove jobs from the printer.
Thanks

Do you need to keep all prints of a particular month or you want to delete all print queues?

What I asked is do you want to 'delete all print jobs' or 'keep the recent week's jobs and delete previous all'?

Why i'm asking is because if you delete recent jobs also, all recent print requests qill be aborted
