[wplug] Clear Out Printer Queue

[Greg Simkins]

Thanks, Jonathan, 

I tried that and I suppose it cleared the cups queue, but I still have stuff
in the print queue.  I inserted some relevant screen shots below.  (no
particular order, not all dated today).  [This is a second submittal of this
item.  The attached pictures made the post so large it went into the
moderator bin, so I am submitting this plea again without the visual
evidence. ]

I guess that the print jobs are left over from when I was trying to print to
a samba protocol printer and never connected properly  I can’t delete the
printers or print jobs even though I try.  The jobs still stay queued.  You
will notice the same jobs in both queue’s below, even though they are queued
to different printer objects.  

I did not set up this PC.  I am using it temporarily and will need to return
it.  I suppose there is some security set up somewhere, that I need to
figure out.  

You can see from the print queue, that not all data is listed in the right
fields, so something is clearly corrupted, but I don’t know how to clear out
the mess.  

Thanks for any more ideas WPLUG’ers.

The queue is probably on your local machine, not the remote machine.  
You'll need to remove it using the cups tools.  See if 'lprm' works for 
you.
