I have a G5 IMac in a student lab connected to an Epson 1800R using firewire.
The problem is that jobs get stuck in the print queue, usually from a previous user. The next person logs in and any old jobs still in the queue sometimes prevent them from printing. Most print jobs are from Photoshop or Illustrator and can be quite large.
The current user can delete the queue but it's not actually deleted. Opening the print utility shows the old job still there. Even network admins cannot delete the job. Only the local admin can permanently delete it.
Giving out the local admin password IS NOT AN OPTION.
All the macs in the lab connect to a windows 2003 AD server and a windows print server for networked printers even the one with the firewire Epson, I have no problems with the networked printers or the same model printers in PC labs.
Is there a way to have any jobs left in the queue automatically delete themselves when a user logs out?
If not,and this is a far less preferable way, is there a way to have network admins have the same right to delete jobs as a local admin?
I have asked this in the forums but didn't get any useful help. I am primarly a PC person so maybe this is something simple and I just don't know about it.
Thank you.
