Monitoring Spooler, Queue, and Logical Printer Configurations
• To create an archive file for the logical printer LogPrt1, enter the
command:
pdls -c printer -r archive LogPrt1 > /attr/LogPrt1.archive
• To create an archive file for the initial-value-job IVJob1, enter:
pdls -c initial-value-job -r archive IVJob1 > \
/attr/IVJob1.archive
• To create an archive file for the initial-value-document IVDoc1, enter:
pdls -c initial-value-document -r archive IVDoc1 > \
/attr/IVDoc1.archive
You might or might not want to create archive files for logical printers,
depending on how many you have and how difficult it is to re-create
them. For example, you might configure a logical printer to restrict the
usage of certain physical printer capabilities. This type of logical printer
will have values assigned to several of its attributes and you would want
to create an archive file to re-create the logical printer if necessary.
On the other hand, you might be using your logical printer only to
restrict access to DCE users or to provide default values for jobs through
an associated initial-value-job or initial-value-document. This type of
logical printer might have few or no attributes with assigned values and
would be fairly easy to re-create. You would not need an archive file for
this type of logical printer.
