CUPS User Priorities

mlu · 09-26-2011, 05:51 AM

I have 10 users in my network and i use a CUPS server for my printing needs. Out of the 10 users i have to prioritize 2 users, so they will be able to print their documents before others. The users are not technical people so i can't ask them to use commands to prioritize the printer jobs from their end, is their any server side settings that i can do to prioritize these two users to print before the others.

Thank you

Hya,

Setting the Job Priority

The -o job-priority=NNN option tells CUPS to assign a priority to your job from 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest), which influences where the job appears in the print queue. Higher priority jobs are printed before lower priority jobs, however submitting a new job with a high priority will not interrupt an already printing job.

I would alias command on client nodes.

Good luck
