Managing Supervisors and Physical Printers
Setting Policy for Job-Size Physical Printer Attributes
pdpr -x "copy-count=2 results-profile=:::2:" \
File1.text File2.txt
the user is requesting four copies of each document in the job. If the
value of the maximum-copies-supported attribute is four or greater,
HPDPS accepts the job.
If you decide to use the maximum-copies-supported attribute to restrict
how many document copies can be requested, you can do so based on the
printer device. You might want to allow multiple copies on a high-speed
printer that has high-capacity input and output bins but restrict a
low-capacity printer to one or two copies of a document.
To restrict the number of document copies that the user can request for
jobs scheduled to physical printer PhyPrt4, enter:
pdset -x "maximum-copies-supported=10" PhyPrt4
NOTE The value of the maximum-copies-supported physical printer attribute
does not restrict the number of documents allowed in a single job, only
the number of copies of each document in the job.
Controlling the Sizes of Jobs Accepted by the Physical
Printer
Use the multi-valued job-size-range-supported and
job-size-range-ready physical printer attributes to restrict the size of
jobs that users can submit. The component values of these attributes
specify the lower limit followed by the upper limit to the size of the job.
Specify the values for these attributes in octets and separate the values
with a colon. One octet is equal to one byte.
HPDPS compares the value of the total-job-octets job attribute to
the job-size-range-supported physical printer attribute during job
validation. HPDPS compares the total-job-octets job attribute to the
job-size-range-ready physical printer attribute for job scheduling. By
default, the values for these attributes allow any size job to be scheduled
to the physical printer. You can set the values of these attributes to a
smaller maximum size for low-capacity, desktop printers. While any
printer can print any size job, printer limitations, such as the number of
sheets printed per minute or the capacity of the input trays, impose a
practical limit on the size of jobs that it is reasonable to send to a printer.
