Shutting the Spool Queues and Handling the Remaining Reports

Verify the printer is active. Enter:

   :SHOWDEV nn 

   (nn is your printer's ldev number.)

Shut down the spool queue.

Entering the SHUTQ command shuts down the spool queues to prevent users from sending reports to the printer. Enter:

   :SHUTQ nn

    (nn is your printer's ldev number.)

or

   :SHUTQ devname

    (devname is the device name of the spooled device)

List the backlog of existing reports. Enter:

   :LISTSPF

This lists all spool files. If the system responds NO SUCH FILE(S), you have no spool files. Since output spool files are permanent files, they will still be present when the system is restarted.
