Holding, Releasing, and Deleting a Print Job
Holding a print job instructs the server to suspend printing until you release
it. Deleting a print job removes it from the queue.
Your administrator can also hold, delete, or restart a print job. These actions
may be necessary when a problem with the printer, such as a paper jam,
causes printing to stop.

to hold.
