Manipulating Print Jobs and Print Queues
This chapter describes the commands for maintaining and controlling print
jobs, print queues, and the queue manager.
Some of the commands described in this chapter require privileges.
5.1 Displaying Print Job Status
You can use the SHOW ENTRY command to display the status of a print job.
You do not need privileges to use this command to display your own print jobs,
but privileges are required to display another user’s print jobs.
The SHOW ENTRY command lists all your print jobs. To display the status
of another user’s print job, you must supply the job number with the SHOW
ENTRY command or specify the user using the /USER qualifier. You can
display the job numbers for all print jobs in a designated queue using the
SHOW QUEUE/ALL command, as follows:
$ SHOW QUEUE/ALL PS40$A12
Printer queue PS40$A12, busy, on LEVEL::PS40, mounted form DCPS$DEFAULT
