Managing printers and print jobs

Viewing jobs in the print queue

A ``print queue'' is a list of all the print jobs waiting to print on a particular printer. Because you can manage jobs on all the printers available to your system, the Print Job Manager displays the jobs in multiple queues in one list by default.

To change the listing of print jobs, use the the View menu:

To view only the jobs that belong to particular users, select By User(s). Select the user(s) from the ``Available'' list and click on Add. The users appear in the ``Selected'' list.
To remove users from the ``Selected'' list, select the user and click on Remove. The users are removed from the ``Selected'' list.
To view only the jobs queued on particular printers (or in printer classes), select By Queue(s). Select the queue(s) from the ``Available'' list and click on Add. The queues appear in the ``Selected'' list.
To remove queues from the ``Selected'' list, select the queues and click on Remove. The queues are removed from the ``Selected'' list.
To view all the jobs in all the queues, select All Jobs.

The status of print jobs change frequently (particularly on a busy system) and the list might not reflect those changes. To update the list, see ``Refreshing data in the display''.
