Printing System Management Commands
You use standard OpenVMS DCL commands to manage the DECprint
Supervisor queues, jobs, and related system resources.
Note
Remember that the management commands only affect the system on
which they are issued. A network printer can serve other systems as
well, with each system having its own set of queues, jobs, forms, etc.
A.1 Overview of Management Commands
Table A–1 lists the commands used to manage print queues, print jobs, and
related system resouces. More information for these commands can be found
in the OpenVMS DCL Dictionary.
