Managing Spoolers, Queues, and Logical Printers

Managing Jobs in Queues and Spoolers

You must set the value of the job-retention-period job attribute to

zero (0) with the -r ﬂag in order to delete the job.

Deleting Jobs with the pdclean Command

You also have the option of deleting all of the jobs in a queue or all of the

jobs in a spooler with the pdclean command. Use the -c ﬂag to specify

whether you are deleting jobs from the queue or from the spooler.

To delete all of the jobs in a queue, regardless of their state, enter:

pdclean -c queue Queue4

If any job has a retention period, HPDPS retains the job in the spooler

until the retention period expires.

To delete all of the jobs in the spooler, including all of the jobs in all of the

queues contained in a spooler, regardless of their state, enter:

pdclean -c server Spool4

If any job has a retention period, HPDPS does not wait until the

retention period expires; HPDPS deletes the job immediately.

Resubmitting Jobs to Different Logical Printers

Use the pdresubmit command to resubmit a job to a different logical

printer. You identify the job by its global job identiﬁer number. You can

resubmit a pending or held job contained in a queue, or a retained or

timed-out job contained in a spooler. You cannot resubmit a job that is in

any of the following states:

• pre-processing

• paused

• processing

• terminating

• unknown

When you resubmit a job, the job includes all of the attributes speciﬁed

by the user or speciﬁed by initial value objects associated with the

original logical printer to which the job was submitted. If the logical

printer to which you resubmit the job has associated initial value objects,

HPDPS applies any additional attributes speciﬁed by those objects to the

job. HPDPS validates the job again against this logical printer and
