How can I hold print jobs for later printing in RHEL?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • How do I hold off all incoming printing jobs on a printer queue so they are not printed until after 24 hours. We may want to release or delete some of the jobs while they are being held.
  • How do I submit a job so that it will be held for printing and I will need to manually release the job later?
  • How do I submit a job so that it will be held and automatically printed at a particular time?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), all versions
  • Common Unix Printing System (CUPS)
