7.1.7 Resubmitting a Job
You can resubmit a submitted job for printing to a different printer on the
same spooler.
A job must be in any of the following states to be resubmitted:
• Pending
• Held
• Paused
• Retained
• Terminating (provided the state does not contain
documents-needed
for the job-state-reasons attribute)
You cannot resubmit a job whose state is completed, processing,or
printing.
The pdresubmit command has the following syntax:
pdresubmit logical_printer_name job_id [job_id2]
...
pdresubmit -c queue logical_printer_name queue_name
The operand is either a job identifier or a queue name. You can resubmit
individual jobs or you can resubmit all jobs in a queue to another logical
printer.
The following examples show how to use the pdresubmit command to
resubmit jobs:
• To resubmit job 2000 to printer lpx0001:
# pdresubmit -c job lpx0001 2000
• To resubmit all jobs in a specified queue, you must first disable the queue
and then perform the resubmit operation. To resubmit all jobs from the
queue qpx0001 to the logical printer lpx0001:
# pddisable -c queue qpx0001
# pdresubmit -c queue lpx0001 qpx0001
Note that when you perform this operation, the spooler takes the
following action:
– Removes all jobs that are pending, paused, or held from the specified
queue and resubmits them to the specified target logical printer.
– Returns a warning for any jobs that it does not successfully resubmit.
These jobs must be resubmitted manually.
In this example, both printers must be associated with the same
spooler.
