5.2 Deleting a Print Job
You can delete a print job using the DELETE/ENTRY command. You can
delete you own print job without privileges. However, you must have privileges
to delete another user’s print jobs.
The DELETE/ENTRY command accepts the print job number as an argument.
For example:
$ DELETE/ENTRY=569
This command deletes print job 569. The system sends messages indicating
the successful print job deletion.
The print job is terminated in a method that depends on the status of the print
job when you issue the DELETE/ENTRY command.
If you issue DELETE/ENTRY . . . DCPS software . . .
when the print job is printing, may take several seconds to stop the print job.
The printer prints data in its buffers, plus any
required job trailer pages and job log pages.
During this time, a SHOW QUEUE command
displays the job’s status as Aborting.
before a connection is established
with a network printer,
prints no pages.
after the connection is established, prints the job trailer page with a message
indicating the fact that you deleted the print
job.
