CA Spool Print Requests

Incoming print requests are written directly to CA Spool for printing or distribution. The incoming print requests are stored as EBCDIC text, AFP, PCL, or binary print files.

Configuration parameters specify how to map the LPR control file lines into JCL parameters such as file name, user ID, destination, output class, and writer name. If the print request specifies extended print attributes, these print attributes are mapped into standard CA Spool print attributes.

The standard LPQ and LPSTAT commands are used to display the print files queued to a CA Spool managed printer queue. The standard lprm and cancel commands are used to purge a print file queued to a CA Spool managed printer queue.
