Usage Guidelines

  • This attribute is only valid when the queue-type attribute is set to standard-queue.
  • When the value of requeue-failed-jobs is true, jobs that fail to print for any of these reasons:
    • The server cancels the job.
    • InfoPrint fails to RIP the job.
    • InfoPrint fails to impose the job.
    are replaced in the queue in the held state.
  • When the value of requeue-failed-jobs defaults to true, jobs can start accumulating in the Server's queues, and these jobs will require manual intervention. If you do not want jobs to accumulate in the Server's queues, you might want to change requeue-failed-jobs to false.
  • When the value of requeue-failed-jobs is false, jobs that fail to print for these reasons are retained if there is a value for the job-retain-until or job-retention-period job attribute. Otherwise, these jobs are discarded.
  • For any value of requeue-failed-jobs, jobs that fail to print because of actual destination problems are replaced in the queue in the pending state. If another actual destination is available, these jobs are rescheduled.
