Question How to stop/pause printing in Mandriva 2006


Hi,
I have the following trouble:
I tried to install brother hl2030 printer on Mandriva 2006 and I got the answer from the system that it recognieses Brother hl7050 instead. Ok, I thought maybe it is some similar modell and when I wanted to print out test page the printer started to give out plenty of empty pages without stopping.

My question is: is there some application which controls printer ques so that I can stop this endless printig?

Any answer is appreciated and thanks in advance.

cancel or lprm

I have never used mandriva, but the modern distros tend to use cups printing system. If this is the case, the command is 'cancel'. Previously, lpr was more popular and the corresponding command was 'lprm'.

However, there is a certain buffering, both in the computer and in printer, so do not expect it to stop immediately.

Best,
Ott
