This is the first in a series of at least 3 cries for help, each on a
separate sub-part of my goal of making sense of cups, lpd and Windows Vista.

I have cups (fully updated) running successfully on my Gentoo system, except
for one thing: sometimes a job fails to print at first ( don't bother asking
why -- I don't know and cannot reconstruct it now). This has left a few
jobs in the cups queue. I could delete them, but I would rather print them.

The problem is that although cups can print new jobs, I don't know any way
to get it to go back and print the three that are there now. Here's what
it's telling me:

treat kevin # lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: lp0
device for lp0: parallel:/dev/lp0
lp0 accepting requests since Sun Apr 13 13:07:25 2008
printer lp0 is idle. enabled since Sun Apr 13 13:07:25 2008
lp0-155 kevin 4096 Fri Mar 28 15:04:34 2008
lp0-156 kevin 4096 Fri Mar 28 15:04:44 2008
lp0-235 root 6144 Sat Apr 12 20:11:37 2008
treat kevin #

The printer is an HP LaserJet 4m, direct attached by centronix cable to the
machine where at least the first two jobs originated.

Help?
