I've never been able to cancel a remote print job going to a remote queue,
even when the server is aix...i always have to cancel it at the box with the
remote que....if it IS possible to cancel a remote job, that'd make MY life
easier, too.

Subject: 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
