job-size-range-supported logical printer attribute to control the
size of jobs accepted. You could then set up a separate logical printer,
queue, and physical printer configuration for large jobs. See “Using
Logical Printers to Restrict the Use of Printer Capabilities” in
Chapter 6.
If more than one physical printer receives jobs from the queue and
some of the printer devices print faster than others, you can use the
job-size-range-supported physical printer attribute to direct large
jobs to the faster printer devices.
About Enabling and Disabling Logical Printers
After a logical printer has been created, the following associations must
exist before you can enable a logical printer:
1. The logical printer must be associated with a queue using the
associated-queue attribute, and the queue must exist.
2. If the logical printer is associated with an initial-value-job with the
printer-initial-value-job attribute, the initial-value-job object
must exist.
Any values specified by the attributes of the initial-value-job must be
supported by the logical printer. Note that if the corresponding logical
printer attribute has no value, it is considered supported.
3. If the logical printer is associated with an initial-value-document
with the printer-initial-value-document attribute, the
initial-value-document object must exist.
Any values specified by the attributes of the initial-value-document
must be supported by the logical printer. A logical printer attribute
with no value is considered supported.
If you modify any of the attributes of a logical printer, you must consider
if this affects any initial-value-job or initial-value-document associated
with the logical printer. The values specified for initial-value-job
attributes and initial-value-documents attributes must be supported by
the corresponding attributes of a logical printer with which they are
associated, if the corresponding logical printer attribute has any value or
values assigned.
When you try to enable the logical printer, if the new value or values are
not supported by the logical printer, HPDPS does not enable the printer.
