2018.1

Queue functionality has been specifically designed to work with IPDS printers and is
currently only available for IPDSprinters and output files.
Where such restrictions apply will be noted on this page.
Job Status
When a print job is being processed by the Print Manager the job is renamed to reflect the
current processing step. A new file extension is added to the job, and updated in real time, as
described in the following table:
filename.ipds
A print job that is in the queue but which has not yet begun
processing.
filename.ipds.Started A print job that is now active. It is currently being processed.
filename.ipds.Committed
The print job has successfully been sent to the printer and is
now being Committed.
filename.ipds.Finished This print job has been processed.
filename.ipds.Queued
This print job has been resubmitted and is queued for
processing.
These file extension entries generally match those found in the Printer Queue Table "Job
State" field.
Printer Queue Table
This table displays information about both the available printers (which can be added or
removed via the "Printers pane" on page734) and their associated job queues.
Clicking on selected column titles (such as Name, PDL and Priority columns) will re-sort the
Queue display based upon the column selected. Clicking on the column title a second time will
reverse the order.
The fields the table contains are broken down as follows:
l
Name: Displays the name of the printer and beneath it are the names of all the print jobs
currently residing in the printer's job queue.
Print jobs can be added or removed from the printer's queue by a variety of means. Such
