Description

The Resume-PrintJob cmdlet resumes a suspended print job on the specified printer. The Resume-PrintJob cmdlet has no effect if any print job is running.

You can specify the print job to resume by specifying the PrinterName and ID parameters, by specifying the printer object and job ID parameter, or by specifying the print job object as an input.

You cannot use wildcard characters with Resume-PrintJob .

Examples

Example 1: Resume a suspended print job 

PS C:\> Resume-PrintJob - PrinterName "PrinterName" -ID 1

This command resumes the print job with an ID of 1, which was suspended on the printer named PrinterName.

Example 2: Resume a print job using a printer object and job ID 

PS C:\>$Printer = Get-Printer -PrinterName "PrinterName"
PS C:\> Resume-PrintJob -PrinterObject $Printer -ID 1

The first command gets a printer named PrinterName by using the Get-Printer cmdlet. The command stores the result in the $Printer variable.

The second command resumes the print job that has the ID 1 on the printer in $Printer.

Example 3: Resume a print job using a job object 

PS C:\>$PrintJob = Get-PrintJob - PrinterName "PrinterName" -ID 1
PS C:\> Resume-PrintJob -InputObject $PrintJob

The first command gets a printer job that has the ID on a printer named PrinterName by using the Get-PrintJob cmdlet. The command stores the result in the $PrintJob variable.

The second command resumes the print job in $PrintJob.
