Table A–1 (Cont.) Printing System Management Commands

Command Function

STOP /QUEUE /REQUEUE Stops the executing print job and requeues it

to the speciﬁed queue, but does not stop the

queue.

STOP /QUEUE /RESET Stops a queue immediately and returns

control to the system.

A.2 Use of SET PRINTER with DCPS

Because PostScript printers are controlled by the DECprint Supervisor

software, the DCL SET PRINTER command has no meaning in a DECprint

Supervisor environment. Print job characteristics for the DECprint Supervisor

are set and displayed by other means.

Print job characteristics for DECprint Supervisor are determined by:

1. Parameters embedded in the job data

2. Parameters passed in the /PARAMETERS qualiﬁer of the PRINT command

3. DEFINE /FORM qualiﬁers

4. For PrintServer printers, default parameters which are in the PrintServer

conﬁguration database

5. The default queue parameters, which are deﬁned in the DCPS$STARTUP.COM

ﬁle

Items 1, 2, and 3 in this list are controlled by the PostScript interpreter or the

data syntax translator, depending on the type of job being processed. Item 4

is controlled by the PrintServer server management interface described in the

DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software for OpenVMS Management Guide.

Table A–2 shows the SET PRINTER qualiﬁers and the equivalent control in a

DECprint Supervisor printing system.
