[KLUG Members] The Aches are Back

[Randall Perry]

I wanted to send a quick test page to the printer que.  I saw a file on
the system and used cat to verify that some text was there.  It looked
like a legit file (gat2) but I didn't read the whole thing.  I threw it
in the que and it jammed it up.  Must have had some characters in there
it didn't particularly like.  Now I can cancel jobs through smit and
qadm -X won't even clear it out.  

I tried to force the queue daown with the command #qadm -K "queuename" 
But using lpstat, I see:upstair lp3   DEV_WAIT  445 /gat2

It looks like I will have to take the que down to flush it.  I would
wipe the device/que and start over if I have do.  Do I?
