Panasonic KX-PS8100 User Manual

Once the printer has been properly installed on the TCP/IP network, users 
should be able to send print jobs to the KX-PS8100 from most applications. 
UNIX clients also commonly use UNIX printing commands to print 
PostScript files and text files to the printer.

For information on printing PostScript files and text files using UNIX 
commands, see Part 3 of 

Utilities and Drivers Reference Guide.

If you have superuser privileges you can remove any lpd jobs from the 
printer queue; removing your own jobs doesn’t require special privileges.

On a UNIX system running SunOS 4 or other BSD-based 
variant, use the lprm command to remove jobs from the queue.

To remove job number 123 from the print queue of your KX-PS8100 named 

printer

, you would type:

lprm -P<printername> <job #…>

or, for example: 

lprm -PKX-PS8100 123

The 

lprm

 command reports the names of any files it removes.

To determine the job number, use the 

lpq

 command described below.

lpq -P<printername>

On a UNIX system running Solaris 2, use the cancel command 
to remove jobs from the queue.

Type:

cancel <job ID>

For example, to remove a job whose ID is 

printer-123

 from the print queue 

of your KX-PS8100, type:

cancel

 

printer-123

To find out a print job’s job ID, use the 

lpstat

 command described below:

On a UNIX system running Solaris 2, use the lpstat command 
to see printer jobs in the queue.

lpstat -o <queue name>

For example, if your printer queue is named 

KX-PS8100q

, type:

lpstat -o KX-PS8100q

The returned list of jobs includes each job ID.

Once lpr print jobs are spooled to the printer’s hard disk, you can use 
WebSpooler to monitor print jobs.
