Using Xprint V7.0 options Producing Output with Xprint V7.0
The -wa option (wait activation) allows you to assign the status SCHEDULED to the
print job. This means that the print job is added to the print queue and moves in
it according to its priority. When it comes to the top position, the printer to which
the job is assigned is no longer available for other jobs. Only when the print job
is explicitly assigned the status ACTIVE (xpchange -job, option -st ACTIVE), is
printing started. When the print job is completed, the printer is released for use
by other print jobs again.

Extended options

adapt product behavior via predefined variables.
collect and store any interesting information for the user or the administrator
in a structured way.
Example:
the room number where the printer is located
the page cost of a printer
