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

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't clear a .ppt print job on an OfficeJet Pro L7680, attached to a Lenovo PC w Win7 32-bit

I was printing a .ppt print job that aborted and didn't complete. I tried to delete the print job. I tried to reset the printer. I turned the printer off/on. I took the printer offline/online. The print job won't clear and although I can submit new print jobs, the printer can't print anything else (because of the .ppt job that can't be cleared). I was using the HP Solutions Center (HP print utility on my laptop)) and Windows print tools. Any thoughts on what I can do to clear this print job?

Delete the printer in Control Panel as it appears it is hung up (if there is more than one instance of it, delete them all).
Next, re-add the printer in this manner:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Devices & Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.

Can I reprint a completed print job from CUPS?

I recently printed a document that I cannot access anymore. I need to reprint it and I can see the job in CUPS but there is no option to restart the job. I need to at least be able to open it, if I can't reprint it I can take a screen shot or something..

IN the print qeue you can select Hide/Show print jobs. Select Show and it will list all past print jobs. Highlight the print job you want and Reprint/Resume the job.

Deleting a paused print job in HP 2540 deskjet

I want to delete or cancel a print job I paused using wireless HP 2540 Deskjet all-in-one. I have been unable to get rid of it. I have tried:
1. pressing the X on the top of the printer.
2. Searching HP utility for a link to delete command.
3. Going to HP help center (when click on DeskJet 2540 the link is empty)
4. Unplugging the printer and plugging back in in a few minutes
When I go back in to create a new print job, a dialogue box appears saying a current job is paused and would I like to add a new job to the queue. The problem here is the job I am attempting to delete is about 120 pages that I no longer need to print.
I have a 13 inch MacBook Air with Yosemite 10.10.2. Any feedback will be appreciated.

A reset of the printing system will remove the unwanted print job. Note that this action will also remove all printers from the Printers & Scanners preference pane, but not the supporting drivers. So you will just need to add the printers again.

Print Job visibility on shared print queues

Hello all,
Quick scenario, where print server has a print queue shared with several clients. Each user is sending jobs using this shared queue. Is it possible that users only see their print jobs when opening the print queue, instead of all jobs, from other users,
being sent to that print queue.
I am aware that you can mask the job title and job owner, from the driver prespective. Nevertheless I am wondering if there is something from a service or policy prespective that can be applied globally to all printer, independely of the print driver in
use.
Thanks

Yes. The client will not matter. The driver version or Type will not matter.
The documentation is extremely limited. Most of the 2012 What's new in..... was overwritten with the What's new in 2012R2.
But what the heck. I always go the extra mile for people wishing to deploy print servers. There has been a patch release where you can add the true document name in the print event logged. There are ways to determine the queue view
true document name but code would need to be written and compiled.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134163.aspx
When printing to a Windows Server 2012 print queue, only users with administrator permissions on the print queue (full system administrator or delegated print administrator, see
Assign Delegated Print Administrator and Printer Permission Settings in Windows Server 2012) will see readable document names when viewing the print queue. Users can still view the
queue from their client computer and will see their own document name in full, but for other user’s print jobs they will see
Print Document for the document name.
Additionally, in most cases in the event log on the server, the document name will also appear as
Print Document. However, in some job failure cases, the document name will be listed in the failure event.

Can I Delete an Unused Child ID From Family Sharing

How can I grant users the ability to pause/resume printing without a "print operators group" password.

Greetings,
We are running 10.8.5 on 30 machines in an active directory environment (graphics lab). The clients are experiencing a persistant error when pausing or resuming print jobs. Each time something is paused, it requires an administrator password to resume the job. Administrators are not always present so designers are locked out of all of the printers until we come in (or remote in) to authenticate.
I spoke with Apple today and they said they would not support active directory accounts and that the account must be edited by the department that created the account because the restrictions come from the Active Directory account preferences.
On the other hand, I ALSO read that I can edit this in the CUPS interface or modify it with the terminal command below, locally.
dseditgroup -o edit -u admin_name -p -a user_name -t user _lpadmin
"dseditgroup" adds the user_name to a group (in this case, _lpadmin).
And admin_name is the name of your administrator's account.
a) Must this be modified on the Active directory account or CAN I modify this on the local machine via CUPS or terminal?
b) If so, how would I grant users the ability to resume printing without an admin password?
c) If not, exactly what must be modified in the active Directory account to allow pause/resume without an admin password.
I have seen a terminal command that adds users to the print operatiors group (Ipadmin) and I have seen some info on editing the CUPS interface, If i must edit the CUPS interface to allow this, can anyone point to detailed instructions on how to make this change.
I also saw info on editing the CUPS interface but the suggestion lacked details as to how and how to return to default if it does not work.
I also saw a post with these suggestions below but without detail as to how one would carry this out.
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf

Hello again. For AD environments you can run the following command on each workstation:
sudo dseditgroup -o edit -n /Local/Default -u localadmin -p -a "Domain Users" -t group _lpadmin
This command assumes you are typing this interactively on the machine. Obviously change localadmin to the Mac's local admin's name. When running you will be prompted for password twice. Once to elevate permissions (sudo) and once to validate you are localadmin.
If you are using Apple Remote Desktop (or JAMF or other management suite), you can push this command out while embedding the localadmin's password.
sudo dseditgroup -o edit -n /Local/Default -u localadmin -P yourpass -a "Domain Users" -t group _lpadmin
Please note, if your password uses special characters (/-\) this may fail over ARD.
In Mavericks, AD groups are cached once they are referenced. If you are dealing with a lot mobile users (laptops) you might want to replace Domain Users with everyone

HP LJ P1102 - can't resume printing after paper adding

Hello, looks like I need help. I have a laser printer HP LJ P1102, it connected to my PC by USB. Printing is OK but some days ago I shared this printer to local network. User from another computer is trying to print to this shared printer - all is OK. But when the paper tray is empty - user can't resume printing job even if paper already added! In this case we need to power off printer and printing all the documents again. Only my PC can resume printing job in case of paper adding. How can I fix it? Thank you.

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.

Cannot cancel print job on network B9180

I have a B9180 network connected printer with an IP number. A print job is registered and cannot be printed or cancelled from the computer that created the job. I have cancelled the job on the printer using the X button because it would not cancel from the computer.. The computer has been restarted, but the print job is still registered in the printer cue (Vista 64) for the printer. I can select the job and select cancel, the printer says it is cancelling, but does not complete the cancel.
I cannot print any new jobs due to the bad job shown in the cue.
Can someone tell me how can I cancel the bad print job and clear the cue on the computer? I have tried everything I know.
Thanks
Solved.

Please go through instructions carefully:
Ist Method:
a) Open your computer and go to printer (control pannl (your printer))
b) Double click printer icon. It lists all the print jobs.
c) Right click your que job>choose 'Delete' or 'Cancle'
2nd Method:
a) Go to spool folder eg: C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS (in most cases)
b) select all jobs which are in que.... and simply delete them.
Thanks !!

Initial Print jobs 'communication error with device'. Pause and restart job

So, I have an odd variant of the Leopard print problem; on 3 separate systems.
When I print to an HP Photosmart C7180, which setup fine, which I can scan to fine, the print job throws an error :error communicating with device, switch on and off' and so forth. It does that from any app, and consistently. I am printing via bonjour, the printer is networked, but on a static IP.
To fix this EVERY-TIME I PAUSE printer, then start printer again. It immediately starts working, consistently until I sleep, log out, or don't print for a while.
This seems to be some timeout issue or such. I tried IP printing, but no difference.
Resetting the print system also did not help.
It's not catastrophic but sooo annoying. Any input appreciated!
Thx,
Dan

Hello SunnygirlQ. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at this iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link.
If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help:
o Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express
I assume that this printer works just fine when it is connected directly to your Mac ... correct? If so, has it worked when connected to the AX in the past ... or has it always had this problem? If it did work correctly before, did you do any updates, especially to the AX, recently?
