lp question

[Peter S. Shenkin]

Sometimes my system gets into a state in which "lpstat" shows jobs queued up,
but the "cancel" command returns the message "PostScript was not busy", or
something like that.  The jobs show up using the Printer Tool, and can
be deleted using it, but does anyone know what is happening?  Can you
suggest a way that I can cancel these jobs using "cancel" or something
similar?

This is a 4d25 / IRIX 3.2.2 / Transcript / Apple LaserWriter IINT.  I
did not get Transcript from SGI;  Columbia has a site-license, so I
put it up myself starting with source.

	-P.
