A school lab I administrate has several large format Epson printers. I would like to use an older G4 legacy box to serve as a Queue Manager / front end. Each printer would be connected via firewire or usb & shared via Printer Sharing. Not sure what the correct name is, but we need the queue manager to show which job is next for each printer, _but to pause by default before/after any job is to be printed_.
My conception of how this would work, for example, is that a user would send a print job from another image processing station. The printer front end wkstn would show the job spooled in the printer window, let's say a "Stylus Pro 4000 (FW:Maximum)". The print job would appear in the queue window for that printer, but stopped or paused. The user must walk over to the the print station & release the job by clicking on 'resume.' After that job has printed, the next print job must be manually resumed.
How can I do this? Is there a script someone might be able to offer?
Thanks, -Barry
