hpskip -- Command

Abort/restart current job on Hewlett-Packard LaserJet
hpskip [-r]

The command hpskip aborts or restarts  the job being printed on the printer
plugged  into device  /dev/hp.  The job  must  have been  spooled with  the
command hpr.

By  default, hpskip  aborts the  job  and prints  a message  on the  user's
terminal.  When invoked with the -r option, it restarts the printing of the
current job.   This is  useful when  a printing is  spoiled due to,  say, a
paper jam.
