Once the printer has been properly installed on the TCP/IP network, users
should be able to send print jobs to the KX-P8420 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 Chapter 3 of
If you have superuser privileges you can remove any lpd jobs from the
printer queue; removing your own jobs doesn't require special privileges.
To remove jobs from the printer queue:
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-P8420 named
printer, you would type:
lprm -P<printername> <job #...>
or, for example: lprm -PKX-P8420 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-P8420, 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 <queuename>
For example, if your printer queue is named KX-P8420q, type:
lpstat -o KX-P8420q
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.
