Creating and Configuring Physical Printers
printer-community-name This is an optional attribute that can
be given if the value of
attachment-type is tcpip. It
identifies the SNMP community
name which is used to obtain printer
information. The default is internal.
printer-model This attribute is required unless the
attachment-type is either
lp-spool-hp or lp-spool-bsd. It
indicates the make and model of the
printer device represented by the
physical printer.
The value you specify must match the
name of a printer-model supported
by the supervisor. For example, HP
supports a printer-model named
LaserJet4Si. Therefore, for a
LaserJet4Si printer, you would
specify a value of LaserJet4Si.
If a user specifies a value for the
printer-models-requested job
attribute when submitting a job,
HPDPS looks for a physical printer
with a matching value for its
printer-model attribute during job
validation and scheduling.
To obtain a list of supported printer
models, enter:
pdls -c server \
-r printer-models-supported \
ServerName
tcpip-port-number This optional attribute can begiven if
the value of attachment-type is
tcpip. It is used for sending jobs to a
physical printer that uses a Jet-
Direct card. The default value is
9100. If your card specifies 9101 or
9102, then you must specify that
