Configuring Logical Printers as HPDPS Gateway Printers
When an HPDPS Gateway Printer target is added, deleted,or moved to a
new host, every HPDPS Gateway Printer in your network that
references that target must be updated accordingly.
HPDPS Gateway Printers can be "chained" together; that is, an
environment can define an HPDPS Gateway Printer whose target is
another HPDPS Gateway Printer in the remote environment.
To create an HPDPS Gateway Printer named GPrt in the local spooler
Spool1, with remote printer named LogPtrX in the remote host HostX,
enter:
pdcreate -c printer -x "pd-gway-foreign-host=HostX \
pd-gway-foreign-printer=LogPtrX" \
Spool1:GPrt
To list the attributes of the above HPDPS Gateway Printer, enter:
pdls -c printer GPrt \
-r pd-gway-foreign-host,pd-gway-foreign-printer \
-x "pd-gway-indirection=false"
HPDPS displays information similar to the following:
GPrt: pd-gway-foreign-host=HostX
GPrt: pd-gway-foreign-printer=LogPtrX
When pd-gway-indirection=false, the pdls command lists the local
HPDPS Gateway Printer; when the value is true, the remote printer
(the default) is listed.
An HPDPS Gateway Printer supports the following operations
performed within a remote environment:
• A job can be submitted to a remote printer using pdpr.
• The attributes of a remote printer can be listed using pdls.
• A job previously sent to a remote printer can be modified using
pdmod.
• A job previously sent to a remote printer can be listed using pdq or
pdls.
• A job previously sent to a remote printer can be cancelled using
pdrm.
• A job previously sent to a remote printer can be re-submitted to
another printer, local or remote, using pdresubmit. A job previously
sent to a local printer can also be resubmitted to a remote printer.
