We now have a new HP printer with "Job Storage" but are unable to submit prints to the actual job storage feature. The prints just print out as any standard run-of-mill-printer. From a linux server, using the CUPS print service, (i.e. using lp, or lpr commands at a command line) How can I get a print job to go to "job storage"?
or maybe my question is better inquired with "how do I print to the Job storage from command line?"... because we have even tried to accomplish this from windows command line with the same result; prints just print out as a regular print (not stored). is there an option for "lpr -o option jb-strg-printer file.pdf" that specifies the job storage ?
another consideration is the use of a "PPD" file, a "postscript printer definition" file. does one exist for a printer with job storage. for example, this site has many PPD files for may printers but none seem to have job storage defined in the code (https://www.openprinting.org/driver/Postscript/ ).
thanks people

I found this 3rd party open source option (but "from" HP) :

Though the 'developer link' was useful with its printer definitions files. It revealed that the printers in question (those with "job storage") do not have a way (within linux printing) to leverage that "job storage". It seems that it is just out-right a windows only option (and on top of it, not something in windows that is available to printing commands, like lpr) in a file's print options wizard/gui/tab/whatever-windows-does. so I'm gonna close this as answered.
