Creating a Physical Printer
To create a physical printer, use the pdcreate command, specifying the
the supervisor name followed by the printer name, such as
Super1:PhyPrt1. The printer name you specify can be up to 255
characters in length. HPDPS compares the value of the job attribute
physical-printers-requested, if the user specifies a value, to the
physical printer name during job validation and scheduling.
The following examples illustrate creating printers according to their
attachment-type attributes.
To create a physical printer using a serial interface, enter:
pdcreate -c printer -x "attachment-type=serial \
printer-model=LaserJet4Si device-name=/dev/c1d14_ip \
associated-queue=my_queue" \
Super1:PhyPrt2
To create a physical printer using a parallel interface, enter:
pdcreate -c printer -x "attachment-type=parallel \
printer-model=LaserJet4Si device-name=/dev/c1t0d0_lp" \
Super1:PhyPrt1
To create a physical printer on a LAN using a Jet-Direct card, enter:
pdcreate -c printer -x "attachment-type=tcpip \
printer-model=Cannon internet-address=15.164.144.01" \
Super1:PhyPrt1
To create a physical printer on a LAN using RFC1179 protocol, enter:
pdcreate -c printer -x "attachment-type=tcpip-bsd \
printer-model=LaserJet4Si internet-address=15.164.144.02 \
print-queue-name=RemoteQueue1" \
Super1:PhyPrt1
To create a physical printer LP spooler, enter:
pdcreate -c printer -x "attachment-type=lp-spool-hp \
internet-address=15.164.144.03 print-queue-name=RemoteQueue2"
\
Super1:PhyPrt1
To create a physical printer for a non-HP-UX spooler, enter:
