Where is the printer queue stored - and how to delete all queue jobs?

I ran into a problem after I installed the Roll paper feeder on my Epson R1800. All of a sudden files will not print anymore.
One thing that may cause a problem is that there are two previous files (pdf I think) that someone else tried to print yesterday looking for a different printer on regular Letter size paper that are still in the queue because they did not print successfully. Everytime I tell Photoshop to print my photo on the Roll paper, those two old jobs pop back up on the printer queue gui and the system stops saying "wrong paper type for this job". Then I delete those two old jobs so there is only the Roll paper one left but it just sits there and wont print. When I launch the utility to check is all is kosher, sometimes it will give me the ink cartridge levels without a problem but sometimes it claims a communication error. I have re-checked the connection and everything and all is OK. When I launch the printer utility and tell it to print a Nozzle Check test, it prints it without a problem so there really is no prob with the communication.
When I restart the computer and the printer and try again, the two old jobs that I deleted in the previous step always reappear. So I wonder if, those two pdf jobs are kinda screwing with the system and should be deleted. But as i said, everytime I delete them, they look like they disappear from the list but my photo job just sits there on the queue without printing. The jobs are not stopped and there is no Hold on this one. If I quit and re-launch the print job, the old ones re-appear in the queue. So they must be stored someplace and are not deleting correctly. Does anyone know where this cue file is stored and what it is called? I have looked in Application Support and in Preferences but I can't see anything that looks like it.
I have downloaded the drivers from Epson for this printer again but that doesn't do anything either. I am using 10.4.11 on an 24 inch iMac intel 2.4Ghz. I only use the stock Apple utilities, no funky third party addon except for the Epson drivers. The printer utilities are:
Epson Printer Utility v3.01
Stylus R1800 utility v4.7(161.10)
Thank you for any help.

Hooray, we found the problem! BOO, we already found the problem elsewhere!
Sooo, it seems we have some kind of Permission problem, have you Repaired Permissions ad rebooted?
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
Disconnect the USB cable from any UPS so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
Or we could maybe go back to that window, click on Printers, remove it? (Thinking perhaps the jobs will go away with the printer!?)
Or would you like to delve into the hidden folders/files to try to handle this?

  • Where is the iPhoto library stored and how can I browse to it in Finder?  The "Photos" option is not showing up on the left hand side.

    I created an app using Automator to batch resize my photos.  When I take photos with my iPhone 4s the resolution is so big I can't upload them to a web site, so I can select all the photos in an event and resize them down.  It's too time consuming to open each one in Preview and resize it manually.  This little app works perfectly!
    Here's the only thing I'd like to change - when the app starts up it asks which photos I want to resize.  I'd love it to default to the iPhoto library so I can choose the most recent event.  But I can't for the life of me find it!  Normally there's a choice on the left hand side that says Photos and in the automator finder window, it's not showing up.  I've looked through all the folders I can think of and can't find it.
    Help!

    You are not using iPhoto properly and are in danger of losing your photos
    iPhoto is a SQP database application and there are NO user servicable parts in the database (by default the iPhoto library)  It is extremely important that you NEVER make any changes of any sort to the content (or structure) of the iPhoto library
    The only safe (and suppoprted) way to resize photo is to select them and export using the various esize options in teh export dialogue and use those resized photos - this is a bathc process and does not involve Preview nor does it involve seperate processing for each photo

  • My Sons Ipod touch keeps coming up showing Low Memory ??? Is there a Simple Fix and How to Delete all the Pages it has Created in Doing so ??? Any Help would be more than Appreciated to Repair this Problem and getting it working back to 100% ... Thank You

    My Sons iPod Touch Recently Reads Low Battery all the Time now Since downloading and Playing COD ...  Is there a Simple Fix for this ???                       Or Something I need to do to Correct it and Also to Possibly Erase all the Low Battery Error Pages it has Created ???  Maybe he needs to Catorogize them or ???  Not Really a Electronics Wizz  or up to date on My iPod Electronics and Repair ...  Just trying to get his iPod back working to 100% again ... Any Help or Direction would be Greatly Appreciated ,,, Thank You,,, Brian  : )

    If the memory is low, double click the home button to bring up the multitask bar, tap on one of the apps shown until they start to shake, then hit the little red minus to close them. After all apps are closed that way, press the home button again and see if it works now.
    Maybe you'll reset the device as well by pressing the home and sleep button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data doing this, but it can clear some glitches as well.

    Hi,
    The '''places.sqlite''' file in your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] stores the bookmarks and the history. This is what you see in '''Bookmarks''' ('''Alt''' + '''B''') and '''History''' ('''Alt''' + '''S''') or in the window of '''Show All History''' ('''Ctrl''' + '''Shift''' +'''H''') and '''Show All Bookmarks''' ('''Ctrl''' + Shift + '''B''').

  • Where is the cron for root and how to edit at start-up?

    I was using Cronnix (as I am not very familiar with cron, unix etc). to create a root system task to reboot my server every night.
    As I hit safe I noted I made a mistake and have it run every minute. so I do to get in any more.
    So there are two solutions I can see. One is to remove the file that holds the information. in order to this I need to know where it is and I do not.
    or to get in over command S at startup and change it there.
    Or?
    FYI I can get to the computer in T mode via an other one.
    as you might imagine any help is more than welcome.

    I'd go for the single-user mode startup and edit the crontab from there.
    Hold Cmd-S during power up. Once the system finishes booting follow the instructions on screen to mount the root filesystem, then log in as root and run:
    crontab -e
    use the arrow keys to move to the offending cron entry then type:
    dd
    <esc>
    qw!
    The 'dd' deletes the current line. <esc> (the Escape key) switches to command mode and 'qw!' tells vi to quit and save the file.
    From there you should be able to exit to resume normal startup.

  • After running sql scripts in SQL plus, where are the results(tables) stored

    Hi ,
    I am using oracleDb10g . i have used SQL plus to create a database. I have run 2 sql scripts and constructed the tables , but i dont know where the data is stored and how to make the data into a database, so that i can use it for connection through some UI.
    for example: schema.sql, data.sql script files.
    SQL> start schema.sql
    SQL> start data.sql
    The tables are created.
    Now how can i group those table into a database and name it.(i mean i can create a database using SQL plus, but how to dump the tables into the database created). Because i want to use this database name for connecting to MS SQL, so i need the name.
    Thanks

    Position cursor on modifiable request.
    Double click on request and choose 'Objects' tab
    Choose object line you want to delete and click 'Delete'
    Save your changes.
    2. To delete objects in a Dev Class:
    Go to work bench --> edit object, Class and give your class name, you will see delete option at the bottom of the screen.

  • Where do I find the Adobe pdf 9.0 printer description file and how do I install it?

    Where do I find the Adobe pdf 9.0 printer description file and how do I install it? Operating system is Windows 7 and I have Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 installed. Adobe Acrobat X Pro just updated to version 10.1.8

    Hi. Thanks for the replyl
    I'm in prepress, working mainly with Quark XPress for advertising files and with Word, Photoshop, everything, for many years. My older computer is the workhorse with Quark 6.5 and CS4 and OSX 10.4.11. Everything is set up for me to produce PDF x1a files by printing .ps files from Quark and Word, and InDesign.
       My newer computer, OSX 10.9.4, must now be used to a greater extent. So I have Quark 9 and 10 and now Creative Suite for the Cloud. But I don't have any Adobe PDF printer which I select when I print .ps files and place into my Distiller Watched Folder. I by pass selecting the Adobe PDF printer in Word and just print straight to .ps. The .ps file just sits in the Watched Folder and no longer flows into Distiller, processed and out. Is this the way of the future? I just want a smooth, fast flow for PDF's. I want them to be PDF x1a compliant for hi-quality printing.
    Thought you might help to give me info as to how one uses Distiller (or not) with the new operating system and latest programs. Can't seem to find any info as of yet by searching the Adobe FAQ's and the Internet in general.
    Thanks alot.

  • HT1660 when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retireved?

    when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retrieved?

    The file is just left where it was when it was connected to the library. Typically:
         <User>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/<Artist>/<Album>/## <Name>.<Ext>
    If you want to add it back just drag it into iTunes. If you want to cull the files you kept previously add the entire iTunes Media folder back into iTunes (or use one of Doug's scripts that has the same effect), then delete (and don't keep) the recent additions.
    Note that warning/prompt is only issued when the files you are removing are located inside the designated iTunes Media folder.

    How can I print multiple copies of the same photo onto one sheet of paper?  Do I have to Duplicate the photo in iPhoto and then select them all?

    no - you simply have to select the option to print mucliples of a photo on a page
    select the photo and go to the file menu ==> print - select the printer, paper size and print size and click customize - in the tool bar click on the settings icon (the gear looking thingy) and select "multiple of the same photo per page" and the preview will reflect this option showing a full page of the selected size photos

  • My system preferences have suddenly disappeared! I have the language and text icon but that is the only icon that is displayed! where have my system preferences gone and how do i get them back??

    I went to my system preferences today and they are all gone except for my language and text icon! I have the language and text icon but that is the only icon that is displayed! where have my system preferences gone and how do i get them back??

    Double click on the picture of the HD on your desktop, then look at the bottom of the window that opens.
    First check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > in the panel at left, select the first item in the list/your HD mechanism > look atthe bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” or something more ominous like “Failing.”
    If S.M.A.R.T.status is "Verified," run Repair Disk: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > open Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.
