The normal flow is for a job to ‘arrive’ at one of the Spooler’s input sources, be
queued for printing, be printed by the Engine, and then deleted.
queued for printing, be printed by the Engine, and then deleted.
There are a few variations on this basic situation:
••••
A queued job can be deleted before it is printed.
••••
A job that starts printing can be aborted (either by the user or the Engine).
••••
An aborted job is requeued immediately, and will either be ‘released’ for
printing or deleted.
printing or deleted.
All of this combined means that there are two ways for a job to enter the system:
queued, and requeued (after an abort) and three ways for a job to leave,
‘printed’, ‘aborted’ and ‘deleted’. In the case of ‘aborted’, the job does not
really leave - it simply re-enters the system as ‘requeued’.
