Novell® Distributed Print ServicesTM (NDPSTM ) allows operators and job owners to copy or move a print job to another printer. The target printer must be running on the same server (managed by the same NDPS Manager) as the printer on which the job currently resides. Also, the target printer must be compatible with the driver that formatted the job. For example, if a job was formatted with an HP5si driver, it should not be copied or moved to an HP* LaserJet* III.
Administrators can copy or move any print job after it has been submitted if the job has not yet started printing. Users can copy or move only for their own print jobs.
To copy or move a print job using NetWare Administrator, do the following.
Select the printer the job was sent to.
(Conditional) If you are using NetWare® Administrator, select the printer the job was sent to from the browser window, then select Jobs/Job List.
(Conditional) If you are using Novell Printer Manager, highlight the printer the job was sent to from the main Novell Printer Manager window.
A list of all active print jobs appears. If you wish to see a list of jobs already processed and being retained, click the Show Retained Jobs option.
Select the job you want to move or copy.
From the Job Options tab (in NetWare Administrator) or the Job pull-down menu (in Novell Printer Manager), select Copy or Move.
The Copy Job or Move Job dialog appears.
Move or copy the job.
Use the context-sensitive help available at that dialog for additional information.
If the list does not update automatically, press F5 or select Refresh from the View pull-down menu.
