specifies certain attributes of the job.
The bit fields are as follows:
The default job priority is 4; all other bits are set to 0.

INT:value
allows the caller to assign job ownership. The owner name is
group number:user number.
The default owner of a job is the user who opened the file to the collector.

is the maximum number of lines to allow for the job. The current range is 0

max-pages input
INT(32):value
is the maximum number of pages to allow for the job. The current range is
0 through 999999. This parameter is a 32-bit integer to allow for future expansion
of the upper limit. If max-pages is omitted or 0, no maximum number is enforced.
