nwpjmv

NWPJMV(1)							      nwpjmv								 NWPJMV(1)

NAME

       nwpjvm - Move print job to Unix queue

SYNOPSIS

       nwpjmv [ -S server ] [ -h ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -q queue name ] [ -c command ] [ -j job number ] [ -d ]

DESCRIPTION

       nwpjmv is a program that connects to print queues on NetWare servers and moves a designated print job to a Unix queue.

OPTIONS

       -h
	  -h is used to print out a short help text.

       -S server
	  server is the name of the server you want to use.

       -U user
	  user is the print server name at the server.

       -P password
	  password  is the password to use for the print server at the server. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection
	  to the server, pserver prompts for a password.

       -n
	  -n should be given if the print server does not require a password.

       -C
	  By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
	  this conversion by -C.

       -q queue name
	  queue name is the name of the print queue you want to service.

       -c command
	  nwpjmv  removes  the designated job from the Novell queue and feeds the job file to stdin.  command is the printing command that is exe-
	  cuted for each job. The default command is 'lpr'.

	  You can insert several flags into the command, preceded by %. These are replaced with values retrieved from the queue structure for  the
	  print job.

	  %u: This field will be replaced by the name of the user who posted this print job.

	  %d: This field will be replaced by the job description field of this print job.

       -j job number
	  This designates the ID number of the print job to be moved.

       -d causes extra error messages to be logged.
