Printing Settings Tab

Locate and configure your default print settings by navigating to Tools then Settings then Printing.

  • Purge held jobs after X hours: Any held job that has remained in the release system for the specified period of time will be automatically removed.
  • ChromeOS print jobs will have a maximum number of 12 hours for purging print jobs.
