network-printing with kprinter
I want to use kjobviewer to mange the printing from my network, so to do this i use the comand line command
[code:1]
kprinter --nodialog [file]
[/code:1]
this works fine, but all the files print directly and I want them to be held from the beginning so that I can select the ones that I want to print in kjobwiewer and "unhold" then.
If I use kprinte without the "--nodialog" I can change the sceduling to be hold and this is what I want to do from the command line. I have found that there is a way to send options to kprinte throu "-o <option=value>" but I cant find what "<options=value"'s there are.
Anyone have a idea what I shoud do to fix this?
Is there a nother way to make the printjobs to show in kjobvewer?
U can give the command
kprinter --nodialog -o job-hold-until=indefinite filename
to hold the job. See the file kdelibs/kdeprint/cups/kpschedulepage.cpp for the other job-hold-until options. Unfortunately all these options are not documented but u have to fish through the source files to obtain them. There are lot more of them out there and somebody needs to document them.
job-hold-until
I've found the "indefinite" before, but does anyone have a quick "release". I've tried the /admin screen and several (I thought) obvious choices for "lp -i jobid -o code[i]" but so far they haven't worked.
Thanks, in advance.
