RPM Print Queues
Customizing Your Print Data

RPM Remote Print Manager supports three print queue types (Text Queue, Filter Queue, and Raw Queue). This concept allows RPM to have different queues that each perform a specific task, such as portrait orientation for one queue and landscape for another.

Holding and Suspending Print Queues with RPM

RPM supports both suspending queues and holding print jobs. The difference being if the queue is unsuspended, all queued print jobs print. If you unhold a queue, the jobs in that queue are still held, but new jobs are printed. If you unhold a job, only that particular job prints.

Full Configuration of Print Queues - Extensive Output Customization

The types of queues are one of the key features that set RPM apart from others' LPD servers, hardware or software. Each type performs a function and has completely different configuration options than other queue types.

Understanding RPM's Printing Queues is the key to getting the most value from using RPM.

  • RPM's multiple, named LPD queues permit multi-user configuration and printing on more than one local or network printer.
  • Full control of all print jobs, including the option to hold, delete, and move jobs to other RPM queues, provides an easy way to automate and control network printing.
  • There can be several queues referring to the same physical printer to distinguish certain options.
  • RPM supports an unlimited number of LPD queues and preserves all control file information.
  • RPM can support any printer model that supports a Windows print driver connected via TCP/IP, local, or shared providing improved print formatting.
