Performing Routine Spooler Operations
Using Spoolcom
The spooler provides the interface between you (and your applications) and the printers
on your system.You use the Spoolcom utility to manage the spooler.
This section describes some of the Spoolcom commands that are available for all users.
Some Spoolcom commands affect the entire spooler subsystem and therefore are
restricted to super-group users (user ID 255,n), such as your system operator. For
information about these commands, see the Spooler Utilities Reference Manual.
