Submitting jobs to the same print queue

When you submit jobs to the same print queue, only one actual destination communicates with the printer, and all jobs are managed by one InfoPrint Manager queue. You can use these methods to submit jobs to one InfoPrint Manager queue:

  • DPF Receivers when jobs are received from Host PSF print drivers
  • MVS Download Receivers when jobs are received from Host MVS Download drivers
  • Windows gateway when jobs are received from Windows shared printers
  • LPD when jobs are received from LPR clients on any platform
  • IPP when jobs are received from IPP clients on any platform
  • Hot Folder when jobs are received from a Windows shared folder
  • InfoPrint Manager Select client when jobs are received directly from the Windows client

When you submit print jobs to the same queue, these apply:

  • There is a single point of control and auditing for all jobs printed. A single interface can be used to determine all pending jobs for the printer.
  • There is automated job prioritization between jobs. Several methods of prioritization are available.
  • There is a single point of failure.
