Troubleshooting
Problems with Jobs
In this example, the job size is 48 million octets, and the document in the
job uses the default-medium attribute to request the medium
iso-a4-transparent.
Next, find all the physical printers that are associated with the queue
the job is in or with the logical printer to which the job was submitted,
and that support the necessary attribute values.
Finding the Printers that Support the Job's Attribute Values
Use the pdls command with the -f
FilterCriteria
flag to find only the
physical printers that are associated with the queue containing the job
and that support the default-medium attribute value that the job
requests.
On the command, use the -s
StyleName
and the -r
RequestedAttributes
flags to request columnar display of the following
attributes:
printer-name
printer-state
enabled
media-ready
job-size-range-supported
job-size-range-ready
For example, if the queue is Queue1 and the job uses the
default-medium attribute to select is0-a4-transparent, enter:
pdls -c printer -s column -f "associated-queue==Queue1 && \
media-supported*=*iso-a4-transparent" \
-r printer-name,printer-state,\
enabled,media-ready,job-size-range-supported,\
job-size-range-ready \*:
HPDPS displays information similar to the following:
Media Job Size Job
Printer State Enabled Ready Supported Size Ready
