problem with lprng
Consistently get the following problem with lprng using testing:
The last job remains in the queue as a "done" entry. Trying to send a
new print job gives no error message but simply sends the job somewhere
in the deep blue yonder.
Must use "lpq" the "lprm JOBNR" to clean the queue. Then can send a new
job successfully. Here is an example:
alm@nomad:~$ lpq
Printer: lp@nomad 'Printer1 auto'
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Server: no server active
Status: job 'alm@nomad+500' saved at 18:19:24.033
Filter_status: lp is ready and printing
Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files
Size Time
done alm@nomad+500 A 500 (STDIN)
34614 18:18:32
alm@nomad:~$ lprm 500
Printer lp@nomad:
checking perms 'alm@nomad+500'
dequeued 'alm@nomad+500'
Ideas on how to get rid of this pesty state are most welcome.
