Configuring Logical Printers for Defaulting
and Restriction
This section describes how to configure logical printers to provide default
values for jobs and documents. It provides example logical printer
configurations with initial value objects that provide the default values,
and gives example commands to create the logical printers,
initial-value-job, and initial-value-document objects. It also shows how to
use logical printers and initial value objects to restrict access to physical
printer capabilities.
Use the following table as a guide to actions you may wish to perform
and to the sub-sections that provide detailed information:

Action Where to Find Information
Provide default values for jobs and documents. You do this
by using initial value objects in association with logical
printers. For example, you can use an
initial-value-document object to provide some values for a
document in a job.
“Using an Initial Value Object for Job and
Document Defaulting”
Modify a logical printer configuration after setting it up,
such as by adding a new logical printer to provide different
job or document defaults for a particular user or user group.
“Adding Logical Printers to a Desktop
Configuration” shows an example of
transferring from a desktop configuration
model to a funnel configuration model by
adding logical printers.
Restrict access to functions of the physical printer or
printers that can receive jobs from the logical printer. You
do this by assigning a value or values to certain logical
printer attributes.
“Using Logical Printers to Restrict the
Use of Printer Capabilities” shows an
example of using logical printers to
restrict access to a physical printer that
receives jobs from a funnel configuration
model.
