m

To indicate that a print request is urgent,

select its title or icon (by clicking it),

then choose Set Print Time from the Printing menu. In the dialog box that
opens, click Urgent. This moves the print request to the top of your list.

m

To indicate that a print request should not print until a future time,

select its title or

icon (by clicking it), then choose Set Print Time from the Printing menu.
In the dialog box that opens, click At Time, then set the time you want.

m

To change the order of the items waiting to print,

move their place in the list by

dragging their titles up or down in the list.

m

To sort the list of documents waiting to print,

click the title of the column you

want to sort by. For example, to sort by the name of the document, click
Document Name. (You can also sort by choosing the commands in the
View menu.) The column title you sorted by is underlined. Sorting the
items does not change the order in which they will print. To see that order,
sort by Print Time.

m

To temporarily stop all documents from printing on this printer,

choose Stop Print

Queue from the Printing menu. To resume using the printer, choose Start
Print Queue from the Printing menu. If you’re using a PowerBook, this can
be a good way to save print requests while you’re on the road until you get
back to your printer.

Shortcut: If you click the printer’s desktop icon to select it, you can choose
the commands that start and stop the print queue from the Printing menu
without opening the window for the printer.

m

To move a print request from one printer to another printer

of the same type, drag

the icon for the print request (spool file) to the icon of the printer where
you want to move it. If you’re not sure whether the two printers are of the
same type, try moving the print request anyway—the printer software won’t
let you move a print request to an incompatible printer.

To continue working while documents print, click on a desktop window or your desktop.
