printer with MDK9.1

[jeanrev]

Hi all,

 

where can I find the job queue for my Canon S520 printer working under Mandrake Linux 9.1 ?

I cannot find a clue to delete some jobs when necessary

if you're using KDE, go to kicker->printers-> & select either the KDE printer setup or system (MDK) printer setup link. (i can't remember the exact names of them right now..........at work). open those & there will be various menu tabs. one of the tabs will show jobs in the que.

there is no Kicker => printer and if I go to CCM there is only the printer configuraion to find

On the command line, try

lpstat

or

lpq

and

cancel

 

man lpstat

man lpq

man cancel

for more info.

ok.......... back to the Kicker method i spoke of earlier.

 

i'm home now & just looked. the option you are looking for is there, but i'm guessing you have to add it to Kicker because it isn't in the menu by default. open KDE Control Center->LookNFeel->panels. go to the "menu" tab. where it says "optional sub menus", put a check in the box next to "print system". click apply, restart KDE. you'll now have all your printer options in Kicker under a menu called "Print System". one of those options should be the name of your printer. if you click on that it will bring up the job que dialogue box.

 

hope that helped..........
