There are four print queue states.
Enabled—The normal state of the operation. Jobs in the queue are actively processed.
Disabled—Print job processing stops. New jobs can be submitted, but they are not processed.
Accepting—Print jobs can be submitted to the queue.
Rejecting—No print jobs can be submitted to the queue.
These states are not all mutually exclusive. For example, an enabled queue may reject jobs.
The printer driver shows these states by placing an icon on the print queue within the Icon View, and by changing the color of the text in Detail View.
If you see a red “X” on a print queue, the print queue is rejecting jobs.
If you see a yellow “!” on a print queue, the print queue is disabled.
To change the status of a print queue within the printer driver:
Right-click the print queue.
Select or clear the appropriate Enabled and Accepting check boxes.
To change the status of a print queue from the command line, enter the following command:
# /usr/ibmprint/bin/chqueue -q myqueue -m accept|reject|enable|disable
