14.5. Starting the print queue
You have replaced the paper, and you now want to restart the print queue so that it will finish your print job. Here is how you would do this:
# lpstat -vlpforu Queue Dev Status Job Files User PP % Blks Cp Rnk ------ ---- -------- --- ---------------- -------- ---- -- ---- -- --- lpforu lp0 DOWN 3 /etc/passwd root 1 100 1 1 1 # enq -U -P 'lpforu:lp0' # qchk -P lpforu Queue Dev Status Job Files User PP % Blks Cp Rnk ------ ---- -------- --- ---------------- -------- ---- -- ---- -- --- lpforu lp0 RUNNING 3 /etc/passwd root 1 100 1 1 1
The enable command can also be used to start the print queue. It takes the printer queue device as its only argument, as in the following example.
# enable lpforu:lp0
