Critical Printer Problem


Recommended Posts

Yesterday, this printer (Epson Stylus C62) was working fine. Then this morning, I was printing some scanned items and I wanted to cancel the job, so I turned it off. Now when I turn it on, I have a serious problem on my hands. My printer will not stop printing one-liners and I know that this has to do with the CUPS Cache. Nothing is listed in the KDE Printing Manager, unfortunately, so I can't clear any print jobs. How do I clear the print job queue and cache so I can restore functionality to this printer?

Took me about an hour since the post for me to figure out how to solve it and all I had to do was to kill the lpd process. After that, the printer works like normal again, thanks to some more detailed search results another time around.
