NetWare 4.1/9000 Print Services

Managing Print Services with PCONSOLE
Printer Options
The print server requires you to mount a new form for a print job before
servicing print jobs with the currently mounted form in a print queue
with a lower priority.
• “Minimize form changes across print queues”
The print server services all print jobs requiring the currently mounted
form before requesting a form change. Print jobs in lower priority print
queues that require the mounted form are serviced before print jobs in a
high priority print queue that require a different form.
• “Service only currently mounted form”
The print server never requests a form change. If no print job requiring
the current form is available, nothing is printed.
• “Mounted form” shows the number of the form that is currently mounted in
the printer. Only print jobs that specify this printer form number can be
printed until a new printer form is mounted with the “Mount Form” button.
The remaining fields include information about the print job currently being
printed on this printer. Most of this information can only be changed by going to
the print queue and selecting this print job from the list of jobs.
• “NetWare server” indicates the server on which the print queue holding the
job resides.
• “Print queue” indicates the print queue from which this print job is being
serviced.
• “Description” indicates the name of the file being printed unless a different
name was assigned to the job.
• “Print job number” is the print job ID.
• “Form” shows which printer form this print job is using. This print job cannot
be printed unless this Form matches the “Mounted Form” field above the
“Current Job Information.”
• “Copies requested” indicates the number of copies of this print job that the
User who submitted it requested to be printed.
• “Finished” indicates how many bytes of this copy have been printed.
• “Size of one copy” indicates the size of each copy of this print job.
• “Percent complete” indicates how much of this print job is completed, which
is determined both by the size of one copy and the number of copies requested
for this print job.
