# Occasionally, a job in the print queue on the Mac will get stuck, and nothing will 
# print until it's either deleted or fixed. Print jobs will pile up behind it, and 
# memory and drive space start getting eaten up. The easiest way to fix this situation 
# is by resetting the print queue. Note: In versions of MacOS prior to Catalina (10.15) 
# this requires the GUI.
