Can't delete job in queue

I have a job in the print queue that is reported as on hold. I am unable to resume it or delete it. This is stopping any new jobs from printing. Where is the job stored so I can delete it manually?

The spool file is held in a system-protected non-disclosed location. I don't recommend going down this path.
You could try opening the CUPS web interface. This will show the current held job and may let you delete it.
If this doesn't work then you can reset the printing system.
*How to Reset the Printing System*
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse (or right click if supported).
4. Click "Reset printing system ..."
5. Restart your Mac
Note: This will remove your printer queues but not your printers drivers. So you will need to add your printer queues again.

  • Can't delete jobs from Sun Update portal

    I am unable to delete jobs from the Sun Update Connection portal. Here are the steps I take:
    o Click on Jobs page. I have 186 pending jobs.
    o I select a few of them and click on "View Jobs"
    o I select the jobs and click on "Cancel Selected Jobs"
    o I click on Yes when asked for confirmation.
    After that I get the message below saying jobs were NOT cancelled:
    "The following jobs were NOT cancelled."
    Any ideas why I can't cancel any jobs?

    HI,
    This is still an issue and I would appreciate any help i could get. I don't want to reinstall the server including six zones.
    Anyway, this is what i have done.
    1. I removed the server from updateconnection
    2. Waited 24 hours
    3. Installed all patches using the script provided in another thread (http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=275&threadID=27716) This seem to be the only way to patch a system with zones
    4. Logged in to updateconnection to verify that no servers were registered
    5. Registered again using update manager
    Now updatemanager shows 22 available updates but when i log in to updateconnection it shows 0.
    This problem has been bugging me for quite a long time now and I would aprreciate if Sun could make an official statement about patching systems with zones. Is it supported or not?
    In my particular case what would you recommend me to do?
    Thanks

  • TA20637 I have a print job that I can not delete from the queue.

    When I try it says "job is completed and can not be deleted from queue" but it seems to be stuck (and keeps reprinting rather than letting me print other documents). What do I do?  I tried clearling the printer queue by turning the printer on and off but that is not dumping the cache.

    So, you can't select it in the queue and Delete it the usual way...
    If nothing else works, you may need to remove printer from the list in System Preferences Print & [Scan/Fax] pane.  Then add it back.
    And if NOTHING else works, you can also Reset printing system.  This removes ALL printers from the list and resets the overall printing system.  The command is in the same System Preferences pane.  Right (Control) click on the list of printers and select Reset printing system.  This time, you'll need to add all of your printers back.

    HP Deskjet 6940. Usually faultless but it now has a print job shown as 'held' in the print queue but which it actually printed successfully four days ago - and it simply won't delete it. Delete button does nothing, 'hold' and 'resume' buttons grayed out. Is there some way I can delete it manually via the Finder?

    Hi Park,
    From what you describe I am assuming that the you had a BW Process Chain running from CPS and then decided to kill it.  This autoamtically created a child job that's supposed to stop the Process Chan in SAP that should have, once complete, updated the parent job from it's 'Killing' status to 'Killed'.  Now you find that the BW Process Chain in SAP is/was stopped, the CPS child job has also completed and yet your Process Chain job in CPS still has a 'killing' status.  Because it is stuck in this status you cannot do anything with it, i.e. none of the scheduling options in the Redwood Explorer are active.
    Assuming the above interpretation is correct then you probably have only one option and that is to force an update in the Repository itself.  I also assume you're using either v6.x or v7.x.
    To confirm the status of the current job in preparation for the update you can do the following query in the Redwood Shell when logged in as SYSJCS:
    select status from rws_job$ where job# = <the job number of the job currently in a 'killing' status>;
    This should return 1 row and the value for status should be 'G'.
    To update the status you can use the following command from the Redwood Shell when logged in as SYSJCS:
    update rws_job$ set status = 'K' where job# = <the job number of the job currently in a 'killing' status>;
    To confirm your update was successful before finally committing use the first query again..
    select status from rws_job$ where job# = <the job number of the job which previously was in a 'killing' status>;
    This should return 1 row and the value for status should be 'K'.
    You can now commit the change or rollback if you've made a mistake
    commit;
    Normally it is not recommended that CPS users modify any of the underlying tables so you may want to check with support that they are ok with you executing this command.
    You may also want to check that you have the latest Service Pack for CPS as this may mitigate this kind of issue from appearing again.
    Regards,
    Simon

  • How can I delete printed job list Delete jobs grayed

    How can I delete printed job list Delete jobs grayed

    Apple lets you see a list of what is printed out but there is no way to erase the list and mine is two years of all that printed out. I want to erase it but there is no place to get rid of the list or the items on it. Epson said it was an Apple problem. Apple doesn't seem to know the answer. You can only delete jobs when it is not grayed out and it is usually for those you have not printed . I am hoping someone can figure it out.

  • Possible to set it so you can't delete a specific folder and contents...

    Hello.
    I'm wondering if anyone knows a way I can set a folder so that a user can't delete the folder (and thus, the contents by deleting that folder). But, at the same time, I want them to be able to manage the items within the folder (ie. can delete sub-folders, can add sub-folders, etc.).
    Basically, right now each computer in the studio has a "jobs" folder. This folder gets backed up (via the network via Retrospect) each night and users can add/delete jobs as they want. But, they can also accidentally delete this folder by having selected the main folder itself and hitting command-delete, or by moving it to the trash. I know it's not "likely", but it is possible and I'm hoping to prevent it.
    I thought I could lock the folder so you can't delete it, but this seemed to also make it so the user can't add files either.
    So, wondering if anyone has any suggestions (native or 3rd-party)?
    Thanks,
    Kristin.

    If I create a temporary directory owned by me and grant read/write/execute permission to me, my group and others, I can add and delete items inside it but I cannot remove the directory itself while working as another user. If I gave ownership of the directory to root, I would also be unable to remove it.
    While this is not secure - certainly admin users could delete the directory itself if they wanted to - it should prevent accidental removal of the sort you describe. Check it works on 10.5, though.

  • HP Connect vs Eprint can't delete print job causing log jam

    I have used eprint for years and recently been transfered to HP Connected.
    In Eprint if a job failed to print following jobs would not print until the problem job was deleted.
    In HP Connected I can tick the box for the job causing the problem but the delete (and other options) at the top remain unshaded so it does not allow that job to be deleted.  This means I cannot clear the log jam.
    Do I need to resort to making a new email for the printer and starting again ?
    Any help much appreciated, I tried HP customer help but haven't had any luck so far.
    Joel

    Hi Joel. To enable full use of the Collections tab, you should have received an email to 'confirm your email'. Have you received this email from HP Connected and clicked the big orange button?
    The other factor, is that the jobs in the queue that are 'stuck' will most likely have to fail before they can be deleted. You will not have to get a new email, but you will have to figure out why they are stuck.
    The hpconnected site will show you your printer status on the devices tab. Does it say you are online and ready?
    You can turn off your printer (unplug it). Pull the plug on your router for 10 seconds or so and then plug it back in. When the router returns to life, power on the printer. When the printer comes back online you need to print an 'info page' or web services report. This can fix this sort of behavior. The process can vary from printer to printer (depending if it has an Eprint button, or Web Services Icon on the front of the printer). What is the model number of printer?
    Here is a document helping you find your model number: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=bud09626

  • Can't delete or resume print jobs - Epson C60 (shared) on Jaguar

    Epson C60 running as a Shared printer on
    G3 iMac 700
    OS X10.2.x
    Print job sent from AppleWorks on G4 iBook, 10.4.4, wireless connection.
    Problem: If there's any interruption to a print job while running, it is not possible to resume the job where it was left off. Nor can the job be deleted, and a new one started, specifying only the unfinished part of the first job as the new job.
    Current problem is an example of a recurring one.
    Job sent to printer (eight pages, collated, 2 copies) without checking paper supply.
    Job interrupted when printer ran out of paper.
    Loaded paper, opened Print Center, chose job and started.
    Printing restarted from page 1 of job.
    Job interrupted after third page of second copy by printer running out of ink.
    Replaced ink cartridge.
    Deleted job, which caused it to disappear from job list in Print Center.
    Returned to iBook and sent new print (pages 4-8, 1 copy).
    No activity, so returned to iMac and Print Center.
    Still nothing in the job list for this printer.
    Clicked Start Jobs.
    Action from printer! Started printing page 1.
    I grabbed pages 1-3, waited for pp 4-8 to come out, then dropped the first three pages into the feed tray to take the overprint as the second copy started, then pulled the rest of the new paper and added the waste from the first round.
    Printer finished the 'deleted' job, then the 'new' job spooled in and started.
    New job finished, and printer stopped.
    Later, printed a second job (same file, two pages, two copies, collated).
    Paper jam after first two pages (which is not this printer's usual behaviour).
    My wife, who was at the iMac, cleared the jam and asked what to do with the alert which offered only Delete job, Stop job, and Stop all jobs (default) choices.
    Chose Delete job (usual choice on an interruption has been to Stop all).
    Error light was still lit on printer, so she pressed it.
    Printer started. Printed two pages, then ran through another two pages, leaving them blank.
    Suggestions?
    Regards,
    Barry

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you tried temporarily disabling printing sharing via the Sharing System Preference (letting others using your network know ahead of time), and then trying to delete it?

  • Can I use Reports Server Queue PL/SQL Table API to retrieve past jobs ?

    Hi all,
    Can I use Reports Server Queue PL/SQL Table API to retrieve past jobs using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT from Forms ?
    I have reviewed note 72531.1 about using this feature and wonder if i can use this metadata to retrieve past jobs submitted by a user.
    The idea would be to have a form module that can filter data from the rw_server_queue table, say, base on user running the form, and be able to retrieve past jobs from Report Server Queue. For this, one would query this table and use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT.
    Is this possible ...?
    Regards, Luis ...!

    Based on that metalink note and the code in the script rw_server.sql, I am pretty sure that by querying the table you would be able accomplish what you want... I have not tested it myself... but it looks that it will work... you have the jobid available from the queue, so you can use web.show_document to retrieve the output previously generated...
    ref:
    -- Constants for p_status_code and status_code in rw_server_queue table (same as zrcct_jstype)
    UNKNOWN CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 0; -- no such job
    ENQUEUED CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 1; -- job is waiting in queue
    OPENING CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 2; -- opening report
    RUNNING CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 3; -- running report

  • Can't Delete Oracle Database Job

    i created an oracle database job and some of them is only a sample test job. i need to delete them but the delete option is not enabled. it looks like all the other oracle database job that i created can't be deleted. please advise thanks.

  • E-rec: Can we delete a Job Posting?

    e-rec experts,
    Our users inadvertently create Job Postings in the Requisition.  We need to get rid of the unwanted postings. Is there a way to delete Job Postings.
    -Dominic

    Hi ,
    When you put the status of a posting into 'To be deleted' it will no longer appear in the requisition.But the
    entry still exist in the infotype HRP5121 ( posting information ) .The status will be set to 3 ( To be deleted ) .If you want to delete an job posting from HRP5121 then the corresponding requisition also need to be set to status 'To be deleted ' .Then the administrator can delete the requisition using
    the service 'Delete Requisitions'.

  • PcP2 suddenly dies, can't delete failed Xgrid jobs

    Hi,
    I have an XServe running 10.6.7 with Podcast Producer and XGrid set up and, until lately, working.
    A user submitted a job via Podcast Transfer and the job died about 85% through the job. All jobs after that fail almost immediately. I see the six last jobs in the XGrid Admin (three from a while back that submitted successfully, the bad job, and two tests since then). I can't delete any of the jobs in the XGrid Admin.
    I have restarted the services, the server, mucked about in the sqlite database, but with no luck.
    Any ideas how to clean this stuff out?
    Thanks,
    Miles

    To add to this, I can run the Mandelbrot tool and see the jobs being processed by the XGrid, but anything new from PcP fails.
