Subject
[cups.general] flushing a queue






Is there an easy way either via the web frontend or CLI to cancel all the
jobs in a CUPS queue. I have several Cups servers in the College and every
now and again students go a bit "click" happy and try to print hundreds of
copies of the same document.

Currently I'm going in via the web frontend and cancelling each job in 
turn
which is a little tiresome *grin*

The servers are Debian "Woody" with Wn2K clients printing via IPP

Thanks
Brian Chivers
