Managing the print service

Accepting or rejecting print jobs

In the Printer Setup Manager, select the desired printer, select Printer -> Control, then select Accept or Reject. Normally, when you add a printer with the Printer Setup Manager, the printer is set up to accept local print jobs automatically. When a printer is accepting print jobs, lp adds new jobs to the printer's queue.

When you specify that a printer reject print jobs, all new print requests are denied (not added to the queue) until you set the printer to accept them again. If a user tries to print a file on a printer that is not accepting requests, the print job is not accepted and lp displays this message:


   UX:lp: ERROR: Requests for destination "printer_name" aren't
                 being accepted.


NOTE: If a printer is enabled and is set to deny requests, it continues to print jobs already in the queue. To delete these jobs, see ``Deleting print jobs''.
