Using a Command-Line Interface
You can manage print jobs from the command line using the
net print
command. Before you
can take action on a particular job, you must determine the job ID. To do this, run the following
command:
> net print \\<
ServerName
>\<
PrintShareName
>
For example, the following command runs
net print
on a server named Voyager with a
print share called LaserJet:
c:\>net print \\voyager\laserjet
You will receive results similar to the following:
Printers at \\voyager
Name Job # Size Status
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
laserjet Queue 2 jobs *Printer Active*
Administrator 7 5992 Waiting
Administrator 8 7784 Waiting
The command completed successfully.
Notice that each job has an associated job number, or ID. You must determine which job
corresponds to the one on which you want to take action. Once you know the ID, you can then
run the following command:
> net print \\
<ServerName>
Job
# [/HOLD | /RELEASE | /DELETE]
