<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span
lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>I have stopped a
CUPS queue for testing but it is still accepting jobs. On the CUPS server
as either ROOT or a user when I print I see all the jobs in the relevant CUPS
queue, the same happens when I print from Windows using Unix Print services for
Windows. When I print from a Linux client machine I see the first print
job that is sent by the user in the server queue but no more until the print
queue is started and the first client job has completed. The second job
from the client then appears and so on, second job completed and the third
appears. While the queue is stopped if i run lpstat -u on the client machine I
can see the jobs that do not show on the server queues. Why aren't they getting
to the server ?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>Ok I can see some
kind of logic to this but if the client jobs stay on the client while the first
job completes on the server when I power cycle the client machine the outstanding
jobs disappear from the client. Is there any way to make all the client
jobs for the same queue go to the server and not sit on the client ?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
