Technical data

This example changes a print job from portrait orientation to landscape
orientation. If the original PRINT job contained any PRINT parameters, you
must specify them all again when you modify any print parameters with the
SET ENTRY/PARAMETERS command. If you do not respecify the PRINT
parameters, the print job will be printed using the default parameter values
for those not included in the SET ENTRY command.
5.6 Displaying a Queue
You can display a print queue, including its status, its attributes and the print
jobs in the queue, using the SHOW QUEUE command. This command does
not require privileges, unless you wish to view queue security information or
view print jobs belonging to other users.
To display a specific queue, supply the queue name. To display all of the
queues, omit the queue name from the SHOW QUEUE command. Use the
commands in Table 5–1 to display information about queues.
Table 5–1 Commands to Display Queues
To list: Enter:
The name and description of every print
and batch queue
SHOW QUEUE
The names of all the print queues SHOW QUEUE/DEVICE=PRINTER
All the jobs in all the queues SHOW QUEUE/ALL
All the jobs in the specified queue SHOW QUEUE/ALL queue-name
The attributes of all the queues SHOW QUEUE/FULL
The attributes of a certain queue SHOW QUEUE/FULL queue-name
5.7 Pausing a Queue
Use the STOP/QUEUE command to pause a queue. You must have privileges
and supply the queue name to the STOP/QUEUE command.
You can pause the queue after the current print job has completed by using the
STOP/QUEUE/NEXT command. This allows the current job to complete before
pausing the queue. For example:
$ STOP/QUEUE/NEXT PS$A4
This command pauses the queue PS$A4 after the current job has completed
printing.
