Print Queue Manager

The Print Queue Manager is used to define any of the logical printer queues that might be used by the applications. Each queue has a code, a description and is associated to a printing device that would be defined as an entry in the ACUCOBOL-GT configuration file. There are a number of properties that can also be defined for each queue. This utility defines the printer queues that are utilized by the SH_PRINTROUTINE subroutine that may be used.

A Form, defined in the ACUCOBOL configuration file and associated to a Print Queue, provides a means of automatically having printer control sequences inserted into a report’s output to facilitate special printing requirements.

Key Benefits

  • A given printer may have numerous Printer Queues associated to it. Each Queue can be assigned a different set of properties
  • When operators select a queue assigned to the generic Windows printer, (-p spooler), instead of having to select a particular printer, the system will automatically print to the the captured printed that is assigned to the Queue
  • Applications may submit print jobs to specific Queues without operator intervention

Key Features

  • Define unlimited number of printer queues for use by the applications
  • Network printers may be captured and assigned to a queue
  • Queues may have a form assigned to them for automatically embedding control codes
  • Each queue can be assigned a predefined font
  • Test pages may be generated and printed for each queue
