To View Print Jobs on UNIX Systems

Use the print commands of your UNIX operating system to view the available printers, the status of print requests, and to cancel print requests.

For example, assuming the queue name of a shared PC printer is dopey1_laser, you would enter the commands shown in Table 5-5 in the Solaris 2.6 operating environment or compatible versions.

Table 5-5 Print Commands for the Solaris 2.6 Operating Environment or Compatible Version

Print to the shared PC printer when it is not the default printer	lp -d dopey1_laser filename
View print jobs sent to the shared PC printer	lpstat -p dopey1_laser
Cancel print jobs sent to the shared PC printer	cancel job-ID
