# cancel hpjet-86903
UX: cancel: WARNING: Request "hpjet-86903" is done.
             TO FIX: It's to late to do anything with it.

If the que is done, why is it displaying?
Any way to get rid of the message? ... or clear the que?

TIA,

You can always clear jobs manually.  Stop the spooler

/usr/lib/lpshut

Then head to the spool dir:

cd /usr/spool/lp/temp


In there you'll see *-0 and *-1 files and a few other files that you
don't want to remove.   If you look at the -0 files, you'll see that
they describe the job - find the one you want and delete it and any -1
file asscociated.  Then restart the spooler:

/usr/lib/lpsched

Tony,

   That did the trick.  I knew this many moons ago and forgot about it  :-)

Thanks again,

I'd hate to think how many things I've forgotten.

But then again, I won't - because I've forgotten them :-)

Reminds me of one out of a collection of "Idiot Sightings" someone
sent me:

        I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport
        employee asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without
        your knowledge?" To which I replied, "If it was without my
        knowledge, how would I know?" He smiled knowingly and nodded,
        "That's why we ask."
