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