Release a Print Job

In a stopped or paused device queue, you can use Release to immediately print a specific print job or multiple specific print jobs in the queue. Alternatively, you can add a marker to a device queue to release many sequential print jobs from the beginning of the device queue to a specified point in the queue. For more information, see Add a Marker to a Queue.

Note: To perform this task, a user must have Read and Queue permissions for Device Groups.
