Managing Print Queues

Use this set of procedures to manage print queues. Most printing management tasks are accomplished by managing print queues.

The relative priority of the print queues determines the order in which the print server services the jobs waiting in the queues.

For print jobs that specify a printer but no queue, the default queue for the printer is used. For example, this occurs when the CAPTURE command is used.
