lpskip -- Command Abort/restart current job on line printer lpskip [-r] The command lpskip aborts or restarts the file being printed on the printer plugged into device /dev/lp. By default, it aborts the job and prints a message on the user's terminal. When invoked with the -r option, lpskip restarts the printing of the current job. This is useful when a printing is spoiled due to, say, a paper jam. lpskip works only with files that have been spooled with the command lpr. Files /usr/lib/lpd -- Line printer daemon /usr/spool/lpd -- Spool directory /usr/spool/lpd/dpid Daemon lockfile See Also commands, lpd, lpr, hpskip Notes To cancel jobs spooled with the command hpr, use the command hpskip. To cancel or reprint jobs spooled with the command lp, use the commands cancel and reprint. See the Lexicon entry printer for details.
