Active Jobs Pane

The Active Jobs pane is a visual representation of all the jobs that are currently being printed on the network. By using this pane, you can manage print jobs over the network by restarting, pausing, or deleting active jobs. When you have the correct permissions, you can also open the Printer Properties dialog and move print jobs to other printers on the network.

You can move print jobs from one printer to another on the network by dragging the selected jobs to the target printer in the Printers pane. When the jobs are successfully printed on the target printer, they are canceled on the source printer.
