The LPS$CONSOLE command ABORT doesn't abort the current job if it is in certain
processing states. Nor does deleting the host job cause the printer to abandon
the job and go on to the next one.
I suppose if we waited long enough it might have sorted itself out but we
rebooted instead.
The file was perfectly viewable postscript via the CDA viewer.
Is there a way to clear the condition without resorting to a power cycle?

Aborting from the remote console and the command line are the only two
methods of removing jobs.
The next time this happens - do try opening and closing the front cover
wierd but sometimes works.
Also make sure there is paper in the selected input tray - IT must have
paper to print the error page when printing from VMS.

Gee, a one year old note and just now getting a reply.

| re .4:
No OpenVMS involved per se. The file came from Windows 95, Excel methinks, via
a Digital UNIX print server.
The test buttons did work and the test page printed nicely. All input trays had
paper in them -- well, I didn't try the side tray.
Too bad the ABORT command doesn't have a qualifier like /I_MEAN_IT. Too bad
there isn't a reboot command -- power cycling seems extreme.

There is a reboot command in the remote console - you don't have to
actually power cycle - it does however reload the software. It is the
moral equivalent to mc ncp trigger node.
It will save you toggling power on the printer
