Holding a print job instructs the server to suspend printing until you release it. Deleting a print job removes it from the queue.

Your administrator can also hold, delete, or restart a print job. These actions may be necessary when a problem with the printer, such as a paper jam, causes printing to stop.

  2. From the View menu, choose Printer queues.

    The Print Queues on \\computername dialog box appears.

  3. Select the print job that you want to hold.

  4. Choose the Hold button.

  5. Choose the Done button.

The job remains on hold until you release it.
