Release Tab

Last Updated: April 07, 2026

Each printer object in the Admin Console has a Release tab that shows all held jobs that users sent to that printer. You can use the Release tab to quickly release or delete held print jobs without walking to or remote connecting to a device or printer.

Each held job shows the following information:

  • Job Type: The type of job, such as Secure Release Print, Pull Print, etc.
  • Computer: The device name reported by the Client.
  • User: The user who sent the job.
  • Title: The name of the file.
  • Status: The status of the job, such as Release Initialized, Error, etc.
  • Pages: The number of pages in the job.
  • Size: The size of the file, such as MB, KB, etc.
  • Submitted: The date and time the user sent the job.
