printJAction

Module: BSDUNIX-MIB

OID (symbolic): BSDUNIX-MIB::printJAction

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.4.6.2.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: A control variable used to trigger an action on a job in a printer queue. When read, this variable always returns the most recent value that it was previously set to. If it has not been set since the last initialization of the network management subsystem on the node, it returns a value of `other'.

When set, this variable causes the queue to undertake the indicated action:

topq - place this job at the front of the queue, after any job which is currently printing

remove - remove this job from the queue

What is printJAction?

A read-write control variable that lets an SNMP manager perform operations on an individual print job, such as cancelling or holding it. Reading it returns the last action value that was set.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4.6.2.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> BSDUNIX-MIB::printJAction

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4.6.2.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> BSDUNIX-MIB::printJAction.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4.6.2.1.6.1 i <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> printJAction.1
