Hmm, strange, i can pause,stop,cancel remove etc all from CUPS with no problem.Just click on manage jobs from the CUPS home page in your favourite browser ( i.e. localhost:631 )

by using localhost:631, i can stop, cancel, and remove jobs but i can’t see any control for pausing a specific job. what should i do?

Which desktop are you using?

KDE has a print manager which can be accessed from

KMenu > Utilities > Printing > KJobViewer

Gnome has a similar print manager available.

Have a look through your menus for gnome print manager.

Any Gnome users out there? :slight_smile:
