How to configure CUPS put jobs in queue with status HELD(4)?

Question

I can't find this property in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf or /etc/cups/printers.conf.

Answer 1

You can use CUPS' command line client for each job individually like so:

 lp -d printer -o job-hold-until=indefinite jobfile

You can also use the lpoptions tool to set this as a default, for all jobs sent by the same user. This will then even apply for jobs you send from GUI applications:

 lpoptions -p printer -o job-hold-until=indefinite
