1 <samba:parameter name="lppause command"
5 xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc">
7 <para>This parameter specifies the command to be
8 executed on the server host in order to stop printing or spooling
9 a specific print job.</para>
11 <para>This command should be a program or script which takes
12 a printer name and job number to pause the print job. One way
13 of implementing this is by using job priorities, where jobs
14 having a too low priority won't be sent to the printer.</para>
16 <para>If a <parameter moreinfo="none">%p</parameter> is given then the printer name
17 is put in its place. A <parameter moreinfo="none">%j</parameter> is replaced with
18 the job number (an integer). On HPUX (see <parameter moreinfo="none">printing=hpux
19 </parameter>), if the <parameter moreinfo="none">-p%p</parameter> option is added
20 to the lpq command, the job will show up with the correct status, i.e.
21 if the job priority is lower than the set fence priority it will
22 have the PAUSED status, whereas if the priority is equal or higher it
23 will have the SPOOLED or PRINTING status.</para>
25 <para>Note that it is good practice to include the absolute path
26 in the lppause command as the PATH may not be available to the server.</para>
