Configuring Spoolers, Queues, and Logical Printers
Configuring Logical Printers as HPDPS Gateway Printers
• The attributes of the spooler for a remote printer can be listed using
pdls. The attributes of any initial-value-document, initial-value-job,
job, log, logical printer, and queue objects contained in that spooler
can also be listed.
The following operations cannot be performed on the remote
environment via a HPDPS Gateway Printer:
• Jobs cannot be cleaned from a remote printer or server via pdclean.
• Objects cannot be created or deleted on the remote server via
pdcreate/pddelete.
• Remote printers cannot be enabled or disabled via
pdenable/pddisable.
• Remote jobs, printers, queues, and servers cannot be paused or
resumed via pdpause/pdresume.
• Remote objects cannot be modified via pdset.
• Remote servers cannot be shutdown via pdshutdown.
The following operations can be performed on the HPDPS Gateway
Printer logical printer:
• An HPDPS Gateway Printer can be created via pdcreate.
• An HPDPS Gateway Printer can be deleted via pddelete.
• The attributes of an HPDPS Gateway Printer can be listed via pdls.
• The attributes of an HPDPS Gateway Printer can be modified via
pdset.
• An HPDPS Gateway Printer can be enabled or disabled via
pdenable/pddisable. This does not disable or enable the target
logical printer, nor is the ability to submit jobs to the target affected
by the enabled or disabled status of the HPDPS Gateway Printer. A
HPDPS Gateway Printer can be disabled simply to allow a pdset
operation to be performed on the HPDPS Gateway Printer.
Administering Gateway Printers
Gateway Printers allow the logical printers from one host to be available
on other hosts.
To simplify the administration of Gateway Printers within the Basic
Environment, although not within the DCE Extended Environment, use
