The following command should pause a job entered for one minute shouldn't it?
lp -d B2 -o %f -o job-hold-until=00:01 %s
Ummm, it would seem to be the case.
At least thats from what i've read/been told and modified to suit, but rather than keep it for one minute it stays forever!
Perhaps CUPS is unable to forward it to the print buffer? Maybe your printer is broken? LOL, I doubt that though.
It seems having a command like that is the only way to get CUP's one-job-per-user into effect, else they can just print as much as they want. a one minute delay on any job would seem fair too, as it gives chance for any repetitive clicking of the print button to be effectively not acknowledged. But where could i be going wrong with this command? Any suggestions?
I haven't used CUPS for a number of months, but where is that command being run? If you can escape to a shell, then you could try: sleep 60s && \ lp -d B2 -o %f %s assuming of course that "%f" and "%f" can be interpolated by the shell.
