Does anyone out there know of a method/program which will allow
cancellation of print jobs on a LaserWriter without the need for a print
spooler, from another machine on the network?  The only way I can stop
long jobs now is by physically power-cycling the machine and this is Not
a Good Thing to do frequently.  Alternatively, is there a simple way to
globally restrict the number of copies printed for any job without
requiring all the systems to have some mods (I have been told it can be
done in the driver but haven't tried).  I am not at all sure that such
things exist or (in the first case) are possible but they would be
useful.  Thanks for your help.
