Identifies the job states that this server supports.
Type
Non-settable, multi-valued
Allowed Values
InfoPrint sets the value of this attribute to these fixed values:
| Fixed Value | Reason |
|---|---|
| cancelled | The job submitter or an operator cancelled the job. The job-state-reasons job attribute provides the reason. |
| held | The job is in a queue and InfoPrint cannot schedule it. Either the job-hold job attribute is set to true or the job is held for some other reason, such as resources not ready. The job-state-reasons job attribute provides the reason. |
| imposing | InfoPrint is arranging the job's pages so that they will print on the press sheets in the right order for final cutting, folding, and binding. |
| paused | The job was paused with the pdpause command. |
| pending | The job is in a queue and is waiting for InfoPrint to schedule and send it to an actual destination. |
| pre-processing | InfoPrint is creating the job. |
| printing | The job is printing on a PSF actual destination. The printing state is not supported by the AIX, BSD, or email DSS. Jobs printing on AIX or BSD actual destinations, or sending on email destinations, are in the processing state. |
| processing | InfoPrint has sent the job to an actual destination. The job is processing and printing on an AIX or BSD DSS actual destination, processing and sending on an email destination, or processing on a PSF actual destination. Depending on the output device, this can indicate that InfoPrint has sent at least one document in the job to the output device. |
| retained | InfoPrint has retained the job in the server after it finished printing or sending or after it was cancelled. Either the value of the job-retention-period job attribute for the job is greater than zero, or the value of the job-retain-until job attribute for the job is a future time. |
| ripping | InfoPrint is converting the job to raster image patterns for printing. The ripping state is supported only by the PSF and email DSS. |
| terminating | The job is terminating, either because it has finished processing or because it was aborted. The job-state-reasons job attribute provides the reason. |
| unknown | The server does not know the state of the job because it lost communication with the actual destination to which InfoPrint sent the job. |
