[ale] HOW2 stop printer after printing has begun ?

[Courtney Thomas]

Thanks.

I find that lpq doesn't reveal the documents that are then currently 
being printed. What was formerly "in queue", I guess, is then waiting in 
ram, and doesn't show by "lpq", as what's being printed, so .....the 
printing continues for quite a while if several documents have been 
sent, which is, really, the reason for my original query.

I should have also revealed that I use 'apsfilter' for printing.

Cordially,
Courtney
