The job was submitted but isn’t printing. What happened?
Atualizado/Updated: 2026-05-15
Target Audience: Iscte Employees
Probable Cause:
If you sent a print job but it is not printed automatically, this is due to the normal operation of Iscte’s printing system, which is based on follow-me printing.
In this system, print jobs are not printed immediately after being sent—they remain on hold until released by the user.
