Unfortunately, you can pause, resume, or cancel only one job at a time using this command. See prnqctl later in this chapter to pause or resume a printer or cancel all jobs in a print queue.
This command is a
.vbs script and requires CScript to run. You can make CScript your default script host by typing the following at the command prompt:
cscript //h:cscript //s
This command requires Administrator credentials. If logged on with different credentials, use -u UserName -w Password to specify suitable credentials.
