<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a linux server (about which I know very little). It runs 'Pink Tie' and I control it from the GUI.<br />
A printer has stopped working, if I send a test page nothing happens. There are no jobs in the queue but in printer configuration it says 'Printer2 spooling lpr job 42% complete'. <br />
<br />
Is there a way I can reset this without rebooting the server?
