Assigning
a
job-discard-time
for
a
Job
A
user
might
request
that
y
ou
assign
a
discard
time
to
a
job
so
that,
if
a
job
has
not
prin

b
y
a
certain
time,
HPDPS
discards
the
job.
F
or

tain
conden

the

w
an
ts
HPDPS
to
discard
the
job
if
it

b
y
5:00
p.m.
HPDPS
ignores
the
discard
time
once

ting,
so
a

start

at
4:59
p.m.
