| In my wonderful Linux+ book it says "a printers job number can be optained using the lpr command." I thought the command was lpq and from that you can delete a job with lprm -p printername jobnumber. Am I mistaken? | |

| I usually use "lpq" for that, but you may want to check the man pages as well. "lpr" might have an option that allows you to print the same information. | |

| lpr assembles the data to be printed and copies it into the spooling queue, where lpd can find it.
The lprm command is used to remove files from the print queue. This command is often mistyped as lpr, which doesn't remove the file from the queue. |
