Setting Print Job Spooling - Novell NETWARE 6-DOCUMENTATION Manual

Setting Print Job Spooling

Although NDPS has eliminated the need to send print jobs through queues,
jobs submitted to NDPS printers will often need to be stored somewhere when
the printer is already processing other jobs or when the job is on hold or retain
status. Job spooling allows you to specify where you want jobs to be stored
while they await processing.
By default, the spooling area for a printer is located on the same volume as the
database for the NDPS Manager supporting that printer. However, the
Spooling Configuration option allows you to spool jobs to a different location
through the following procedure.
Job spooling as used by NDPS offers greater simplicity and management
convenience than queue-based printing. In NDPS, spooling requires only that
a directory be designated where jobs can be stored while awaiting processing.
You can modify job spooling at any time, even when a job is already being
processed.
The following procedure explains how to optimize job spooling.
1
In iManage, click iPrint Management > Manage Printer.
2
Browse to and select the printer you want to enable Access Control for.
3
Click Configuration > Spooling.
4
Modify the spooling information.
Spooling Location: Specify the path where print job data will be stored
while waiting to be printed. By default, the spooling area for a printer will
be located in the same volume as the database for the NDPS Manager
supporting that printer.
Available Disk Space: The amount of disk space available on the
volume.
Limit Disk Space: To limit the amount of disk space to be used for
spooling, check the check box and sent the limits you want.
Spooling Space: The total amount of disk space in kilobytes (KB) you
want to set aside for print job spooling.
Retained Job Space: The amount of disk space in kilobytes (KB) you
want to set aside for holding retained print jobs. This amount should be
sufficiently less than the total spooling space to ensure that new print jobs
can be processed efficiently.
