Novell Linux Desktop 9 Users Handbook

You can manage the print jobs currently waiting in the print queue. You can pause the printer (pausing all jobs) or pause specific print jobs. You can also cancel a selected job if necessary.

Open Printers Window

You access a printer's queue from the Printers window, which displays all your installed Printers. In the Settings dialog box (select System, Personal Settings), double-click the Printers icon.

Open Printer Queue Dialog

To open the queue dialog for a specific printer, double-click the printer icon in the Printers window.

Pause Printing

Select the print job you want to pause and then select Edit, Pause Jobs. To resume a paused job, select the job and then Select Edit, Resume Jobs.

Tip

To pause all the print jobs listed, select Printer, Pause Printer. This is a lifesaver in cases where you have run out of paper or have a printer jam.

Cancel Print Job

To cancel a print job, select the print job in the list and then select Edit, Cancel Jobs. This removes the print job from the list. When you have finished working with a printer's queue dialog, click the Close button in the upper right of the window.

Tip

You can also pause and cancel print jobs by right-clicking on a print job in the queue and selecting Pause or Cancel from the shortcut menu.
