+<samba:parameter name="lppause command"

+ xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
+<listitem>
+ <para>This parameter specifies the command to be
+ executed on the server host in order to stop printing or spooling
+ a specific print job.</para>
+
+ <para>This command should be a program or script which takes
+ a printer name and job number to pause the print job. One way
+ of implementing this is by using job priorities, where jobs
+ having a too low priority won't be sent to the printer.</para>
+
+ <para>If a <parameter moreinfo="none">%p</parameter> is given then the printer name
+ is put in its place. A <parameter moreinfo="none">%j</parameter> is replaced with
+ the job number (an integer). On HPUX (see <parameter moreinfo="none">printing=hpux
+ </parameter>), if the <parameter moreinfo="none">-p%p</parameter> option is added
+ to the lpq command, the job will show up with the correct status, i.e.
+ if the job priority is lower than the set fence priority it will
+ have the PAUSED status, whereas if the priority is equal or higher it
+ will have the SPOOLED or PRINTING status.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that it is good practice to include the absolute path
+ in the lppause command as the PATH may not be available to the server.</para>
+
+ <para>See also the <link linkend="PRINTING"><parameter moreinfo="none">printing
+ </parameter></link> parameter.</para>
+
+ <para>Default: Currently no default value is given to
+ this string, unless the value of the <parameter moreinfo="none">printing</parameter>
+ parameter is <constant>SYSV</constant>, in which case the default is :</para>
+
+ <para><command moreinfo="none">lp -i %p-%j -H hold</command></para>
+
+ <para>or if the value of the <parameter moreinfo="none">printing</parameter> parameter
+ is <constant>SOFTQ</constant>, then the default is:</para>
+
+ <para><command moreinfo="none">qstat -s -j%j -h</command></para>
