OT - Deleting job in printer queue via command line

[Randall R Schulz]

Hi,


% net help print
The syntax of this command is:


NET PRINT \\computername\sharename
           [\\computername] job# [/HOLD | /RELEASE | /DELETE]


NET PRINT displays print jobs and shared queues.
For each queue, the display lists jobs, showing the size
and status of each job, and the status of the queue.

\\computername           Is the name of the computer sharing the printer
                          queue(s).
sharename                Is the name of the shared printer queue.
job#                     Is the identification number assigned to a print
                          job. A computer with one or more printer queues
                          assigns each print job a unique number.
/HOLD                    Prevents a job in a queue from printing.
                          The job stays in the printer queue, and other
                          jobs bypass it until it is released.
/RELEASE                 Reactivates a job that is held.
/DELETE                  Removes a job from a queue.

NET HELP command | MORE displays Help one screen at a time.



You just said "won't work." If we're to help you, you have to give us 
more to go on than that. What result did you get? Nothing at all? A 
diagnostic? If you'd like to be forward looking, show us your PATH 
variable, tell us which version of Windows you're running, which shell 
you're using, things like that.

Best of all, read <http://cygwin.com/bugs.html> (and 
<http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html>) and then try again.
