Determining the Status of Your Job
Current State Shows the status of your job. The
information in this example shows
that the job is pending (in the queue).
Printer Requested Shows the name of the logical printer
to which the job has been submitted.
Requesting Status Information after
Submitting the Job
To display status information about your job after you have submitted it,
enter the pdq command and identify the logical printer to which you
submitted your job. The command then displays status information
about all the jobs (submitted by you) in the queue associated with the
logical printer to which you submitted your job. The following examples
show how you can request status information after submitting a job.
To request status information about jobs you submitted to your default
logical printer, enter:
pdq
To request status information about jobs you submitted to logical printer
LogPrt4, enter:
pdq -p LogPrt4
HPDPS displays information similar to the following about all your jobs
in the queue associated with the logical printer you specified.
