Hi,
Im wondering, if I do a restart of my lpd service, will it clear the print queue? Or will the file in queue will still be there after the restart?
Thank you
There are too many different lpd implementations to answer this with any certainty. Maybe you can follow up with more details about your platform. In general, I would say most lpd daemons are smart enough to not clear the spool; that's why they have one. There might be a problem if a job is being printed so maybe you should put all jobs on hold before restarting just to be on the safe side.
