DESCRIPTION
Use this administrative command,
pdclean, to remove all jobs from the specified servers, logical printers,
queues, or physical printers. If you are removing jobs from a server, any
job-retention-period
attribute values are ignored. For all other conditions, the
job-retention-period
is honored. If you
are removing jobs from a logical printer, all jobs that have been submitted to it are removed from the
queue. If you are removing jobs from a queue, all jobs that are contained in that queue are removed from
the queue.
Jobs that are in the middle of printing are aborted, if possible.
HPDPS issues a confirmation message prior to cleaning the object, unless your environment variable
PD_CONFIRM_DELETE
has a value of no.
