When a job is submitted to a printer, it is placed in the printer's queue. It is removed only when it has been successfully printed or sent to a remote server. On a system with many users or a slow printer, the queue can grow quite large if jobs are being submitted faster than they can be printed.
You can use this Webmin module to list jobs in the queue for a printer, view their contents, or delete them. To manage these tasks, complete the following steps:
1. | |
2. | To view the contents of a print job, click on its size. Because most jobs are submitted in PostScript format, your browser must have a plug-in or helper application that can handle the format. This is not possible for remote printers or on some print systems. |
3. | To delete a print job, click on its ID in the first column. Or to remove all the jobs in the queue, click the Cancel all print jobs button. |
The print jobs page can also be used to submit a test page to the printer for verifying from within Webmin that it is working. To do this, follow these steps:

4. | Click the Print page button to submit the chosen page to the printer. A web page showing the output from the lpr command will be displayed so that you can see if any immediate errors occurred. |
