This section explains how to can change the priority of a job with the:
You can only assign job priority on local queues. Higher values indicate a higher priority for the print job. The default priority is 15. The maximum priority is 20 for most users, and 30 for users with root user privilege and members of the printq group (group 9).
Note: You cannot assign priority to a remote print job.
The printer must be physically attached to your system.
To change the priority of a queued print job using Web-based System Manager type wsm, then select Printers.
In the Printer Queues window, select the print job, then use the menus to set the priority for that job in a local print queue.
The qpri command reassigns the priority of a print job that you submitted. If you have root user authority or belong to the printq group, you can assign priority to any job while it is in the print queue.
The basic format of the qpri command is:
qpri -# JobNumber -a PriorityLevel
For example, to change job number 123 to priority number 18, type:
qpri -# 123 -a 18
For example, to prioritize a local print job as it is submitted, type:
qprt -PQueueName -R PriorityLevel FileName
See the qpri command in the AIX 5L Version 5.1 Commands Reference for the exact syntax.
To change the priority of a print job using SMIT, type:
smit qpri
