some of my users are getting a message on their screen:

message from root on server1 ... Job number 763 has been (93763) has
been deleted from the queu.<EOT>

Any ideas?

Did someone cancel any print jobs (or any jobs that go through
qdaemon)? These will return a message to the owner of the job when
their job is cancelled...

# disable LP16
# lp -dLP16 /.profile
Job number is: 152

# enq -x 152
Message from root on server1 (UNKNOWN) [Tue Apr 4 12:14:37 CDT 2006]
....
Message from queueing system:
Job number 152 (31152) has been deleted from the queue.<EOT>

# enable LP16

To limit the cancelling of the print jobs or to limit the messages from
showing up?

To limit the cancelling of a print job, I am not sure you can...You
would have to keep users from having access to the enq command, which
then means that they cannot submit or cancel jobs using enq I suppose.
(perhaps use Sudo?)

To limit the messages, you might be able to redirect it to an email or
to /dev/null so it does not pop up on a cancel.

Hi,

all users belonging to the "printq" group will get those
messages. You can de-activate email sending within the
(advanced, if I remember well) printer configuration.

This is configurable printer by printer.
