Some printer templates ignoring submitted orders?

This is not a case of cause its a case of design.
The printing of kitchen tickets happens on/before ticket close rule.
The print kitctchen order action is set to only print NEW orders, otherwise if you added items it would print whole ticket again and kitchen would be confused as to if its new or extra etc.

Check HOLD Button for Table Order
@Jesse has a nice hold feature.
What happens on close is new orders are printed then changed to submitted what his method does is prevent this by temporarily changing the status to HOLD which prevents them being picked up by the kitchen print action and change to submitted.
When the hold is removed they return to new and are treated the sam as the other new orders.
