Technical Note

Using -extended-features

This technical note describes how to access a feature defined in HP Output Server that is present in the printer's

capability ticket but has no corresponding HP Output Server attribute.

The -extended-features attributes facilitates accessing a feature present in the printer. These features do not

have corresponding attributes in the mapper.xml file which is normally used to map attributes to the features.

A capability ticket is basically needed to perform a job by using the printer’s features effectively. The

-extended-features attributes need to have a capability ticket as a prerequisite before any command for the

attributes get executed.

-extended-features syntax

-extended-features uses the following syntax:

pdpr -dlogical_destination -x"-extended-features '<pwg:OrientationRequested

xmlns:pwg=\"http://www.hp.com/schemas/imaging/con/pwg/sm/1.0/\">Landscape</pwg

:OrientationRequested >'" <filename>

Technical Note Using -extended-features This technical note describes how to access a feature defined in HP Output Server that is present in the printer's capability ticket but has no corresponding HP Output Server attribute. The -extended-features attributes facilitates accessing a feature present in the printer. These features do not have corresponding attributes in the mapper.xml file which is normally used to map attributes to the features.

Using -extended-features Using option files These commands are case-sensitive. Ensure that single quotes and spaces do not get omitted. To access a particular feature unavailable in HP Output Server attributes, the set -extended-features command is used followed by the pdpr command for sending the job.

Using -extended-features -extended-features requirements -extended-features requirements An argument for -extended-features has the following requirements: • The argument must come from the capabilities ticket. It must be a feature and option combination available in the capabilities ticket. • Make sure that there is an invocation string for the option. An argument works only if there is an invocation string available. • Qualify the feature with a namespace.

To locate the correct namespace, note the feature-NS element in the feature header. In this example the namespace is Features. At the top of the capabilities ticket is a capabilities element that defines all of the namespaces. Example PAGE 5
Using -extended-features About mapper.xml file About mapper.xml file HP Output Server utilizes attributes and values to express intent while the destination capabilities are expressed through features and values. Mapping helps to translate the attributes into their corresponding features so that the DSM server can properly process the constraints and the invocation strings. Mapping is performed by the DSM server which uses a file named mapper.

The match elements assign symbolic names to the matched parts so they can be referenced later.
