This is the first in a series of at least 3 cries for help, each on a |
| 2 |
separate sub-part of my goal of making sense of cups, lpd and Windows Vista. |

I have cups (fully updated) running successfully on my Gentoo system, except |
| 5 |
for one thing: sometimes a job fails to print at first ( don't bother asking |
| 6 |
why -- I don't know and cannot reconstruct it now). This has left a few |
| 7 |
jobs in the cups queue. I could delete them, but I would rather print them. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
The problem is that although cups can print new jobs, I don't know any way |
| 10 |
to get it to go back and print the three that are there now. Here's what |
| 11 |
it's telling me: |
| 12 |
|

treat kevin # lpstat -t |
| 14 |
scheduler is running |
| 15 |
system default destination: lp0 |

The printer is an HP LaserJet 4m, direct attached by centronix cable to the |
| 25 |
machine where at least the first two jobs originated. |
