I noticed that I have a print job that is hung up (lpstat -o) due to a broken printer. Is there a way to re-route the printed information into a text file? Or does it exist somewhere in UNIX as a text file?
I dont think it would be a 'text' file.
But check in /var/spool/cups ?? Pulling out of the air
im thinking it would be a file prn.00000XX
But im just guessing, and I cant replicate that at the moment.
Check the /var/spool/cups directory for spool files. See if you can read/extract what you want. I'm assuming Linux/cups - mainly because ikon did.
Unix version?
Local or network printer?
This version has a release date of 1984. The job is bieng sent to a network printer.
Printing is not the same in every unix. Can you post the output from:
uname -a
