It used to be possible to drag and drop a print job from one printer queue to another printer simply by dragging and dropping. With recent updates, that no longer seems to be possible. So if a print job gets sent to wrong printer, how can it be moved to the desired printer?

Please add me to the list of disgruntled customers who strongly believe the printing software was better when it allowed the user more options. Stop taking away features and calling them product updates! The ability to perform this very simple function was an important feature in optimizing our workflow.
Open the Terminal application and immediately type the following at the Terminal prompt:
lprm
If the print job has not entirely transferred into printer memory, this will cancel all print jobs from the default printer queue.
Thank you for the Terminal solution it worked. I had a lot of documents in the wrong print queue, and the printer jammed and I lost a few. The Terminal solution posted definitely works, but I the point is valid I am much more conformable and would know which documents I need to reprint if the drag and drop option was still available. Macs ability to drag and drop things is the kind of user friendly culture that defined the company. I can work with lunix, I can work with dos prompts, I can use terminal. I can pay for non apple laptops and in the future I will. Buffet was right
