About Pausing and Cancelling Jobs
About Pausing and Cancelling Jobs
Cancelling jobs sent to a physical printer depends on the associated
printer device and how much buffer memory the printer device has
available. You can only pause and cancel jobs that have not been
completely transferred to the printer device.
You can potentially pause or cancel a job sent to a physical printer when
the state of the job is processing. However, most of the time HPDPS
prints some portion of the job you pause or cancel. Jobs can be paused
between multiple results-profiles.Based on the characteristics of the
printer device, you might not be able to pause or cancel a processing job.
When you use the pdpause command, the pause point is between the
result-sets.
Refer to the following topics for the actual procedures you use to pause
and cancel jobs:
• “Deleting Jobs from Queues and from the Spooler” in Chapter 9
• “Deleting Pending, Paused, or Held Jobs from the Queue and Spooler”
in Chapter 9
• “Deleting Jobs from the Queue and Retaining Them in the Spooler” in
Chapter 9
• “Deleting Timed-Out or Retained Jobs from the Spooler” in Chapter 9
• “Cancelling Processing Jobs” in Chapter 10
