First of all, run 'cancel' from the command line, after running your lpstat
command to find out the queue ID ... rather than using any SMIT interface.
This will make sure that no other 'settings' are going on while you are
doing this, and that you are using the proper interface. SMIT can
add/change/coerce/etc. in all sorts of ways ... better to use the plain
vanilla when troubleshooting.
'cancel,' I believe, is simply a different interface to 'enq,' but it is
SUPPOSED to operate in the same manner as the 'standard' cancel.

Subject: [aix-l] re SMIT...Print Spooling
Gurus
I have a AIX remote queue set up to point to a queue provided by 3rd party
TCP/IP to Channel software on a seperate DOS box.
I am told that the software provides an "LP daemon which fully supports RFC
1179 (the lpr protocol standard)". I am also told that I should be able to
use the Unix cancel command to cancel any jobs which I submit to this
interface.
I am submitting jobs using the lp command.
I want to use Smit...Print Spooling...Manage Print Jobs...Cancel a Print Job
to cancel jobs, but I understand that this uses enq rather than cancel and
apparently this is not supported by the 3rd party software.
However when I try to use WSM Print Queues(which appears to use cancel) to
cancel the job I get the error
5010-050 Cannot find job job_number for user ....enq: FATAL error : request
failed
Anyone got any advice?
John
