hai

I am having some problems with printing. I am using 'lp' to print and it was working fine.
One of the users sent a job to the printer, which is a Tektronics 4693DX, and for some
reason did not want it. So he switched off the printer, instead of trying to remove it from the
queue. After this, the printer has been refusing to print. Whenever a job is sent it stays
on the queue and nothing happens.

lpstat -t says everything is fine. For some of the jobs I get a mail from lp saying

    "error in cadvrprint request 120"

and the manual says, its probably a error in the printer.

What I would like to know is, Could something go wrong with the printer settings
if it is switched off when a job is being received? Is there any other solution
other than calling Tektronics hardware support?

Thanks for your info.
