Moving Print Jobs
NDPS 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 move a print job using iManage, do the following.
1 In iManage, click Print Management > Manage Printer.
2 Browse to and select the printer the job was sent to.
3 Click Printer Control > Jobs.
4 Check the checkbox next to the job you want to modify.
5 Click Move to move the print job to another printer in the list.
Modifying Print Jobs
You can modify a print job in two ways:
 Modifying the printer configuration
Before the job is submitted, you can modify the printer configuration on
your workstation. Then every time you send a job to that printer, those
modifications will be used. For information, see “Modifying
Configurations” on page 80.
 Modifying the specific job
When a job is submitted, it inherits the properties of the installed printer's
configuration. The configuration of the job can then be modified, if
needed, by the job's owner or the printer's Operator.
When jobs are modified, additional configurable properties are available
which are not included in the original printer configuration. For example,
the job can be delayed, and advanced attributes can be viewed and
modified.
