Managing Supervisors and Physical Printers
Setting Policy for Job-Size Physical Printer Attributes
To restrict the size of jobs that can be submitted to the physical printer
PhyPrt2, enter:
pdset -x "job-size-range-supported=0:10000 \
job-size-range-ready=0:10000" PhyPrt2
Most of the time you will set the values for the two attributes to the same
value range, as in the example. However, you also can use these
attributes to defer the printing of large jobs by setting the value of
job-size-range-ready to a value less than the value for
job-size-range-supported. HPDPS accepts jobs based on the
xxx -supported attribute, but only prints smaller jobs based on the
xxx -ready attribute. HPDPS holds the large jobs in the queue
associated with the physical printer in a job state of held and with a
job-state-reason of required-resource-not-ready. You can
increase the valuefor job-size-range-ready to a larger value at alater
time to print the large jobs. You might increase the value at the end of
the day or at night so that large jobs will print when the printer is not
busy printing smaller jobs.
Determining Which Physical Printers Require
Authorization
When you create a physical printer, you need to decide whether the
associated printer device requires authorization for a user or user group
to use. You can group physical printers that require authorization into a
printer pool that receives jobs from the same queue.
Authorization cannot be set for the physical printer, but must be set up
for the logical printer or printers that send jobs to the associated queue.
Therefore, if a physical printer or printers require authorization, this
restriction must be set for all the logical printers that support the
physical printers. See “Restricting Access to a Printer Device” in Chapter
8 for further information.
