Managing Jobs in Queues and Spoolers
For example, to assign a job-print-after time of 12:45 p.m. on August
5th, 1997, enter:
pdmod -x "job-print-after='12:45:00 \
08/05/96'" Spool2:4857700125
If you also specify a time (and date) for the job-discard-time attribute,
it should be after the time (and date) for this attribute. Otherwise,
HPDPS discards the job before it prints; HPDPS does not compare these
two attributes to prevent this situation.
About Modifying Other Job and Document Attributes
You can also modify any other settable job or document attribute, unless
the job is in the processing state. The following restrictions apply to
certain attributes for job and document modification:
• You can modify any job or document attribute only if the
corresponding logical and physical printer attributes support the
value. When you modify a job, HPDPS validates the job again. For
example, if you modify a job to specify
content-orientation=reverse-landscape, the values for the
content-orientations-supported logical and physical printer
attributes must allow a value of reverse-landscape.
• You can modify the copy-count document attribute or the
job-copies component of the results-profile job attribute only if
the resulting number of requested copies is less than the limit
imposed by the logical or physical printer attribute
maximum-copies-allowed.
• You can modify the value of the default-medium document attribute
to any value supported by the physical printer or printers associated
with the queue. If the value specified is only supported by the
media-supported attribute of a physical printer and not by the
media-ready attribute, HPDPS cannot schedule the job until the
appropriate media is loaded in the physical printer and the
media-ready attribute is updated.
If the media-ready attribute does not support the media specified for
the job, the following occurs :
1. HPDPS notifies the user
2. HPDPS changes the value of the current-job-state job
attribute to held
