Re: Possible to send a HOLD at PRINTER job from i?

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Probably going to depend on _how_ this is being accomplished for your
Windows printing.

It seems likely to be some combination of the printer hardware and some
software package.

For instance, I don't see our network attached printers in Windows.  All I
see is "My Company Secure Print" as a printer.

After printing to that, I can walk to a printer, swipe my badge and get my
printout.

I'd suspect that in order for your IBM i to participate, you're going to
- have to be using SSO/Kerberos, so that there's a single "user"
- possibly have to redefine the printers on your IBM i. (and use SNMP or
IPP as a protocol)

Just some thoughts off the top of my head.

HTH,
Charles
