Creating and Configuring Logical Printers
Physical Printer Selection Attributes
There are a number of job attributes that enable users to request that
their jobs should be sent to a specific physical printer or to a certain type
of physical printer. These attributes are only useful for configurations
with a queue that sends jobs to more than one printer. They request a
particular printer or type of printer in the printer pool.
You can create an initial-value-job object and associate it with a logical
printer so that all of the jobs submitted to the logical printer are sent to a
particular physical printer, printer model, or printer location.
The job attributes that request specific physical printers are:
physical-printers-requested This multiple-valued attribute
identifies the physical printers that
have been requested to print the job.
This attribute has no default value.
HPDPS compares the values of this
attribute to the physical printer
printer-name attribute for
validation and scheduling. If more
than one physical printer is
requested, the job will print on the
first one that becomes available that
can print the job.
printer-locations-requested This multiple-valued attribute
identifies the locations where the job
has been requested to be printed.
This attribute has no default value.
HPDPS compares the values of this
attribute to the physical and logical
printer printer-locations
attributes for validation and to the
physical printer printer-locations
attribute for scheduling. The job
attribute is multi-valued and the
printer attribute is single-valued.
