Technical data

You might want to specify a print date and time for a large job so that it
prints during a low print volume period.
To specify a date and time, use the following syntax:
dd:mm:yyyy:hh:mm:ss
When you set a print date and time for a job, the spooler:
• Sets the current-job-state attribute to held.
• Adds the job-print-after-specified value to the attribute
job-state-reasons.
When the specified print date and time has passed, the spooler schedules the
job and changes current-job-state to pending.
The following examples show how to specify a print time for a job:
• To specify the time to print a job when you submit the job, use the
following command:
#pdpr -x job-print-after=31:12:2002:12:59:59 book1.ps
• If you submit a job and then decide that you want to modify the job so
that it prints after 7:00 a.m. on January 25, 2002, use the following
command:
#pdmod -x ’job-print-after=25:01:2002:07:00’ red_spl:1258
7.1.3 Listing Job and Document Attributes
You can use the pdls command to display attributes and values of print
system objects, such as printers, queues, jobs, documents, and server
processes. You can use this command to list the following attributes:
• An object you specify
• All objects of a class you specify (except the server class)
• A subset of all objects that you have filtered
The pdls command displays information only about an object for which
you have sufficient access-control privilege. For jobs belonging to other
users, the server returns only those attributes specified in the server
job-attributes-visible-to-all attribute. The command writes its
list of attributes to standard output.
The pdls command has the following syntax:
pdls [-c class_name] [-f filter_expression] [-F] [-g] [-r requested_attributes]
[-s style_name][-xextended_attribute_string
...][-Xattribute_filename ...]
[[object_instance]
...]
