You can specify printing actions for any object of the following types – printer, user, user group. These actions define the way a print job belonging to an object (printer, user, or group) will be processed. To view or edit a printing action, use the context menu of the corresponding object (printer, user, group) in the tree of the program (a right click on this object in the tree). Select the Properties menu item and switch to the Actions tab.

• Canceled – the document will be canceled. An object this option is selected for will not be able to print a single document.


• Paused – the document will be put in the print queue and printing will be paused.


• PIN code (*) - the document will be put in the print queue and the user will have to enter the specified PIN code to print the document.


• Redirected to account (*) - the document will be put in the print queue and the user will have to specify the account this print job will be assigned to.

* The use of O&K Authentication Client is required.

The hierarchy of printing actions is as follows: User->User group->Printer.
How does it work?
When a user prints a document, O&K Print Watch will first check actions specified for this user, then for the group the user belongs to, and then for the printer the job is sent to.

If no printing actions are specified for any object, the document will be printed.

Example1:

No printing actions are specified for the user oleg, but it belongs to the user group Paused Users and printing is paused for it (the printing actions is Paused). In this case, printing will be paused for the document.*

Example2:

The user oleg is allowed to print (the printing action is Printed), but it belongs to the user group Paused Users and printing is paused for it (the printing actions is Paused). In this case, the document will be printed.*

* In case the quota for oleg or Paused Users has not been exceeded.
