Managing print jobs Redirecting print jobs

4.4Redirecting print jobs

The xprdir command can be used to redirect print jobs assigned to a specific printer to another printer, but you can only redirect the entire print queue of a printer, not individual print jobs. This redirection is permanent, i.e. it also applies to all subsequent jobs for the original printer, and must be canceled explicitly.

Please note that xprdir is provided for compatibility purpose only. You should use xpchange -dev-rdinstead.

xprdir assigns to the original printer the status NOT_ACTIVE and activates the printer which is to be the new destination. The active job on the original printer is handled as specified with the -joption by the user. Then the entire print queue is redirected from the old printer to the new destination, all the print jobs keeping their original status.

The xprdir command can be used by every user, no specific privileges are required. If the Xprint V7.0 administrator wants to restrict its use, he/she can protect the command by means of access rights and user definitions.
