To enable all logical printers associated with Queue2, enter:

pdenable -c queue -m "Logical printer will now accept jobs." \

The value of the logical printer attribute enabled changes to true and

HPDPS modiﬁes the message attribute for all of the logical printers

associated with the queue.

Modifying Logical Printer Attributes

After you have created a logical printer and set the initial values of the

attributes, as described in Chapter 6 , “Conﬁguring Spoolers, Queues,

and Logical Printers,” you can change some of the values based on actual

usage. You can also specify values for any attributes that you did not set

when you initially created the logical printer.

When you modify the attributes of a logical printer, you have three

choices:

• assign values to an attribute that previously had no value

• change the value of an attribute that previously had a value

• set the value of an attribute that previously had a value to no value

You must disable a logical printer before you can change the attributes of

the logical printer.

To modify the attributes of a logical printer, perform the following steps:

1. Disable the logical printer with the pddisable command. For

example, to disable the logical printer LogPrt1, enter:

pddisable LogPrt1

2. Modify the logical printer attribute values with the pdset command.

• To change or assign the value of a single-valued attribute, use the

-x ﬂag and an attribute value pair. For example:

pdset -x "maximum-copies-supported=15" LogPrt1

• To add a value of a multi-valued attribute, use -x and an

attribute value pair with +=. For example:
