Notifications on Job Receiving Errors

Notifications on job receiving errors settings

Check the Notify the administrator via email and/or the Notify the job sender via email boxes, to send notification emails about refused jobs.

The job sender is always notified via MyQ Desktop Client, if installed.

Job Parser

Job parser settings

Here you can set the job parsing mode, which dictates which level of job details will be reported. You need to activate the Job Parser if you want to know job details (page count, color, paper size, etc.) before the job is printed. It is necessary for features like credit, quota and PHP scripting. There are three levels of job parsing available:

  • Basic (lower CPU usage) - This method doesn't estimate number of mono and color pages.

  • Standard (default option) - This method will estimate the number of monochrome and color pages. This method is optimal for most office documents.

  • Enhanced (higher CPU usage) - Every page of the document will be rendered and estimated as monochrome or color based on the rendered data. This method is recommended when printing complex PostScript or PDF documents and facing inaccuracy in Standard job parsing method.

Jobs via LPR Protocol

image-20260909-162657.png

Here you can enable the Jobs via LPR protocol feature (enabled by default). If it is deactivated, MyQ cannot receive print jobs via LPR.

The server knows the job sender (to be able to notify MyQ Desktop Client about job processing) through the hostname sent by the LPR protocol. The maximum length of the hostname is 31 characters.

The maximum job size received over LPR is 100GB. Jobs with a size of over 2GB are described as: "More than 2GB"; for jobs below 2GB, the real size is displayed.

It is recommended to keep the Jobs via LPR protocol option enabled. If it is disabled, jobs sent from print drivers cannot be received by MyQ.

You can also change the port here, although it is recommended to use the default setting (515).

Jobs via IPPS

Here you can enable the Job Privacy feature, which limits access to sensitive job metadata for everyone except the job owner and their delegates.

Once enabled, the Job Privacy feature cannot be disabled.

In addition, you can enable or disable the option to Hide job names on the device. Enabling this option means the names of jobs released to devices are redacted so that they are not visible in the device's job history.
