PRINTER QUEUE STATUS
The following sections detail the operations of the buttons within
the Queue Status window.
Cancel
This button cancels (deletes) the selected print job from the
system. If the job is currently printing, the Cancel command will
remove the print request from the system. However, the printer may
keep printing until its buffer is empty.
Enable
The Enable button is similar to turning the printer on. It tells the
print queue administrator that the printer is now available for
printing. Any print jobs that might have been waiting in that print
queue will now begin to print.
Disable
Disabling a printer means the printer will temporarily stop printing
but the printer queue will still accept print jobs. This command is
typically used when the printer is out of paper or will only be out
of service for a short while. When a printer is disabled, its print
queue is kept intact.
This command will stop the marked printers from receiving print
requests from the spooler. Any job currently printing will be added
back to the print queue to be reprinted once the printer is enabled.
This command does not stop users from sending print requests to this
printer; those print requests will be added to the print queue.
Note: On SUN O.S. 4.1.x, or other systems on which the Berkeley
style printing system is running, the disabling of a printer will
cause it to decline print requests until it is re-enabled. Also, all
printers on the same device are enabled/disabled even if only one is
highlighted.
Move
If a printer breaks down or has many jobs queued, this command can
move print jobs from one printer queue to another. When you click on
the Move button, Enlighten displays a window showing a list of all
available printer destinations. Select the new printer destination
(queue).
Enlighten will then ask for confirmation to move each of the
highlighted print jobs to the other printer. If you click on the Yes
button, the print job will be moved to the selected print queue.
You can move print jobs to print queues on other hosts even if the
new destination host has a different spooling system running.
Note: When moving a print job, you should select a new printer
destination compatible with the old printer destination. Failing to
do so may produce unexpected results.
