Managing Spoolers, Queues, and Logical Printers

Managing Jobs in Queues and Spoolers

To resume queues Queue1 and Queue2, enter:

pdresume -c queue Queue1 Queue2

The queue states change to ready.

Deleting Jobs from Queues and from the Spooler

You can delete any job unless its state is unknown or terminating using

the procedures described below.

Deleting Pending, Paused, or Held Jobs from the Queue and

Spooler

To delete jobs from a queue and spooler, perform the following steps:

NOTE Deleting paused or held jobs might not always be appropriate. You

might want to determine the reason the job is paused or held and, if

necessary, perform tasks so that the job will print. See “Deleting a Queue

that Contains Held or Paused Jobs” later for further information.

1. Pause the queue. For example, enter:

pdpause -c queue Queue3

You pause the queue so that any jobs that you want to delete will not

be scheduled for printing.

2. Determine which jobs are in the queue.

Refer to “Querying for Jobs in the Queue” previously for a description

of how to ﬁnd out which jobs are in a queue.

3. Use either the pdrm or the pddelete command to delete a job or jobs

in the queue. Identify the jobs with their global job identiﬁers. See

“Finding and Identifying Jobs” in Chapter 11 for more information on

the global job identiﬁer.

For example to delete two jobs contained in a queue in spooler

Spool3, enter:

pdrm Spool3:4628700042 Spool3:4628700035
