Managing Supervisors and Physical Printers

Querying for Supervisor Information

provides you with the name of the queue from which the physical

printers receive jobs.

To query for enabled and ready physical printers contained in supervisor

Super1, enter:

pdls -c printer Super1:

HPDPS displays information similar to the following:

Printer Realization State Enabled Queue

------- ----------- ----- ------- ------

PhyPrt2 physical idle true Queue4

PhyPrt5 physical paused true Queue5

This information indicates that PhyPrt5 is not ready.

NOTE You can request information about all objects within a server of a given

class by using the

ServerName:

argument. To ﬁnd out about all physical

printers within supervisor Super1, enter the following command:

pdls -c printer Super1:

Entering the

ServerName

followed by only a colon (:) lets HPDPS know

that you want to obtain data about all objects within the speciﬁed class

contained within that server. Entering the command:

pdls -c printer Super1:PhyPrt5

only provides information about physical printer, PhyPrt5.
