6.4.1.2

Changing 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 /parms:"".

The

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

is

-fc 1 -rw

. In order to set the parameters to the

default setting, call the following command:

net print /parms:""

In order to set new parameters, it is necessary to specify at least one parameter,
e.g.

net print /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

-js

parameter 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.

6.4.1.3

Stopping and restarting print jobs

Print jobs can be stopped and restarted using the commands

net print /hold

and

net print /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.

6.4.1.4

Status 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.

6.4.1.5

Identifying 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.
