Print job

In computing, a print job is a file or set of files submitted to printer for processing. A printer receives these jobs as instructions on what to output. Each job acts as a single, queueable system object representing a document that must be rendered and transferred to a printer.

Jobs are typically identified by a unique ID and assigned to a specific destination, usually a printer. They include associated options such as media size, number of copies and priority. Print jobs are created on specific print queues and cannot be transferred between them.
