6.3.3.5 Deleting a Logical Printer
Use the pddelete command to delete a logical printer. When you delete a
logical printer, you should consider the following:
• The printer must be disabled, and it must not have any active jobs.
• The physical-printers-supported attributes for the supervisor,
spooler, and queue are updated.
• The printers-ready and printer-associated-printers attributes for the
logical printer are updated.
• If the specified printer is the only physical printer associated with
a queue, the spooler stops scheduling jobs in that queue until it is
associated with another physical printer.
The syntax for the pddelete command is:
pddelete [-c printer] [-m message_txt] [-x extended_attribute_string] [-X
attribute_filename printer_name]
The following command shows how to delete a logical printer printer_1:
# pddelete printer_1
6.4 Specifying Job Defaults and Creating Default Objects
Printing defaults specify attribute values that Advanced Printing Software
applies automatically to jobs and documents, if the corresponding attributes
are not part of the print request. The print system uses two classes of
printing objects to identify sets of default attribute values. The object classes
are:
• initial-value-job, which contains job attributes with default values
