pdls -c queue -s column -r queue-name,queue-state,\
backlogged,queue-backlog,backlog-upper-bound,\
backlog-lower-bound,backlog-update-interval Queue3
HPDPS displays information similar to the following:
Queue Backlog Backlog Backlog
Queue State Backlogged Backlog Upper Bound Lower Bound Interval
----- ----- ---------- ------- ----------- ----------- --------
Queue3 ready true 0:30 0:10 0:05 0:05
In this example, the backlog is three times the upper backlog
boundary.
2. Query the logical printer or printers that send jobs to the queue. To
query the logical printers sending jobs to queue Queue3, enter:
pdls -c queue -r logical-printers-assigned Queue3
HPDPS displays information similar to the following:
Queue3: logical-printers-assigned = LogPrt4
LogPrt5
You will query one of these logical printers to see job information for
all jobs in Queue3.
3. Query for the brief set of attributes and the total-job-octets
attribute to determine the number, states, and sizes of jobs in the
queue. One job octet is equivalent to one byte. Use any logical printer
that sends jobs to the queue as the object of your query.
To determine the jobs and their sizes for all jobs in the queue Queue3,
enter:
pdq -U -r brief,total-job-octets -s column -p LogPrt5
HPDPS displays information similar to the following:
Current Inter Printer Printers Job
Job ID Name State Jobs Requested Assigned Octets
