Configuring Spoolers, Queues, and Logical Printers
Configuring Logical Printers for Defaulting and Restriction
have default values, for these attributes, you must use initial value
objects to ensure the restriction. See “Using Initial Value Objects to
Ensure Restriction” in the next section for details.
All logical printers use the same
xxx-
supported attributes. However,
the supported attributes for physical printers differ between printer
models.
For logical printer attributes that are used for restriction that do not
require an initial value object, such as document-formats-supported,
you can combine attribute values that are only supported by one printer
model.
You can also combine document attributes that are unique to a printer
model, if they do not require an initial value object to enforce the
restriction.
See “Creating and Configuring Initial-Value-Job and
Initial-Value-Document Objects” earlier for more information about the
prohibition against combining these in an initial-value-document object.
Suppose you want to configure logical printers for the funnel
configuration model. Specifically, you want to create the logical printers
and initial value objects shown in Figure 6-7, “Using Logical Printers to
Restrict Printer Capabilities,”.
The funnel configuration model, as described in Chapter 3, has a
many-to-one relationship between logical printers and a physical printer.
Each logical printer usually represents a subset of the capabilities of the
physical printer; you use these logical printers to restrict the types of
jobs that users can submit to a physical printer through a given logical
printer.
• To create logical printer LogPrt4, enter:
pdcreate -x "associated-queue=Queue2 \
printer-initial-value-job=IVJ2" \
Spool1:LogPrt4
• To create the initial-value-job object IVJ2, enter:
pdcreate -c initial-value-job \
-x "sides=2" Spool1:IVJ2
The initial-value-job object IVJ2 enforces the use of two-sided
printing.
