Job-Related Tasks for Physical Printer Management
pddisable -m "PhyPrt3 is unavailable until 15:30 because of \
required maintenance" PhyPrt3
You can now complete the tasks that required you to disable the physical
printer. For example, if you are changing the type of media loaded in the
printer, you can load the new media and update the physical printer
attribute that reflects which media is loaded.
Enabling a Disabled Physical Printer
To enable the physical printer, enter:
pdenable PhyPrt3
Pausing a Physical Printer
To pause a physical printer PhyPrt4, enter:
pdpause PhyPrt4
HPDPS submits each document in a job to the printer device as a
separate print request. Pausing an HP-UX physical printer pauses the
printer when the printer buffer is exhausted.
Resuming a Paused Physical Printer
To resume physical printer PhyPrt4, enter:
pdresume PhyPrt4
When you resume the physical printer, all jobs that were previously
scheduled to the physical printer resume printing at the place that they
stopped printing. The physical printer continues sending print output to
the printer device at the point where it left off.
