To resume a job from command line I can call lpq which gives me the job number for example 211 and then lp -i 211 -H resume.

However is there a way

  • to resume the last job without figuring out its job id first
  • to resume just all holded jobs with one command

cupsenable --release $print_queue should push all held jobs out to the printer (assuming it's still accepting jobs). If the job got held because the printer is marked offline, you may need to cupsenable $print_queue and cupsaccept $print_queue (or in one step lpadmin -E $print_queue), also.
