Description:

This utility starts the spool manager. You can start it from the command line, or you can click its icon in the shelf:

Spool manager icon


Note: You must be running Photon to start this manager.

The spool manager's main window looks like this:

You can use the spool manager to query and cancel print jobs.


Note: The prjobs utility cancels print jobs by removing files from the relevant mount point owned by spooler. The command line equivalent is:
