Administration guidelines Processing the printer queue

6.4.1.2Changing parameters for a printer queue

You can change or set print parameters for a SPOOL V4.x printer queue from Advanced Server for UNIX.

This is done using the command net print <printer queue> /parms:"<xpadd parameter>".

The <xpadd parameter> parameters correspond to the parameters for the xpadd command in SPOOL V4.x. They are described in the SPOOL V4.x manuals.

The default setting for <xpadd parameter> is -fc 1 -rw. In order to set the parameters to the default setting, call the following command:

LO <yI##

In order to set new parameters, it is necessary to specify at least one parameter, e.g. net print <printer queue> /parms:"-fc 1"

●Advanced Server for UNIX reserves the following parameters for its own processing. For this reason they cannot be specified:

-de,-dr,-ev,-jc,-na,-nd,-nm,-rm,-st, -jt

●If a separator page has been configured, the -jsparameter cannot be used.

●Each spooler has different parameters. For this reason, when switching the configured spooler, it is necessary to first delete the queues for the old spooler.

6.4.1.3Stopping and restarting print jobs

Print jobs can be stopped and restarted using the commands net print <job#> /hold and net print <job#> /release. The status of the specified Advanced Server for UNIX print job is set to SUSPEND or WAIT.

These functions are only effective on print jobs from corresponding users. A user with administrator permissions can influence all print jobs.

6.4.1.4Status messages from SPOOL via Popup

If the printer device in SPOOL has the status Device error, Popup does not send any message about a print job error or printer error to the PC that sent the job.

6.4.1.5Identifying print jobs with Job ID

In the SPOOL status messages, Popup specifies the local job ID for the explicit assignment of the print job (for pause and continue).

In messages concerning the status of print jobs (canceled and printed), Popup currently displays only the global job ID. As soon as SPOOL V4.x sends the local job ID for this situation, Advanced Server for UNIX is adapted accordingly.
