Hi; This has been annoying me for a long time. How do I absolutely and certainly clean out all printing queues and buffers after I have botched a printing job? Case in point: Yesterday I started to print an SVG graphics file I had created in Inkscape. Immediately after I pressed the print button, I saw a glaring mistake I wanted to fix. The printer hadn't started to print yet so I cancelled the job using the print thingie in the Notification Area. My printer ground to a halt -- a good thing. Made my changes to the graphic but nothing would print after that. I then did the usual impatient things -- 2-or-3 more print tries; a test page; a text page test; turned the printer on and off a couple of times but no joy. I then used the printer thingie to cancel all jobs. I re-booted into WindowsXp; tried the printer; it worked fine; double checked ink levels. I shut the computer down; turned the printer off and on; and re-booted to Fedora. Immediately on re-loading Fedora my printer, printed an ink and paper wasting 1/2 of my original graphic and a test page. It worked fine after that. Sorry for the long description of my attempts to get my printer going, but I wanted to show something we have all seen and done, I am sure. So my question is, on behalf of all frustrated printer users, after botching/stopping a print job; how do you make absolutely certain that all queues and buffers in the operating system and printer are cleaned out so that you can start afresh? I am using an HP Photosmart C4200 All-in-One printer, but my question really applies to all printers. All the nice neat manual answers seem to apply only to nice neat orderly print cancellations; not to a rushed slightly panicked, STOP THE PRESSES. -- Regards Bill Fedora 8, Gnome 2.20.3, Emacs 22.1.1, Evolution 2.12.3 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
