What were you trying to do?
Watch a long printout using lpq -Ppindar +1
What's wrong:
After the printer ran out of paper, and I refilled it (I use lpr -z to
notify me of such things), lpq kept reporting that the printer was out
of paper. I ^C'd the program, and restarted it; same result. I ran just
lpq without the +1 option and got the same result. All this time, the
printer continued to print happily along.
What should have happened:
After the printer was refilled, lpq should have stopped saying "Printer
needs attention" etc, and gone back to the standard message.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
None really. Man page I guess.
