Hmm, I don't think there should be any difference. At least not if
you're using CUPS (which is what we're using). Here, "cancel -a" or
"lprm -" will remove all jobs. There certainly will be a way of doing it
that doesn't involve rebooting the machine.

I wonder if use of Linux could be traced to accelerated or decelerated
hair loss? I personally find it less frustrating that some other
computing environments, and still have some hair.
