NAME
pdpr - submits print jobs
SYNOPSIS
pdpr -h
pdpr
[-f FileName][-g][-l][-n NumberOfCopies][-N NotificationMethod]
[-p LogicalPrinterName][-r RequestedAttributes][-s StyleName][-t JobName]
[ -x "AttributeValuePairs" ][-X AttributesFileName][FileName ...]
DESCRIPTION
Use the pdpr command to submit print jobs to logical printers. Each print job can contain multiple print-
able documents and any number of print resources.
The target logical printer name defaults to the value of the PDPRINTER environment variable. You can
override the default by specifying the name of another logical printer using the option
-p LogicalPrinterName or the per-job-attribute printer-name-requested.
When the print-job request is accepted by the server, it is given a unique global ID (job identifier).
The job also has a local ID that can only be used by you (the job submitter). The job submitter can use
either the global ID or the local ID in subsequent commands, such as
pdmod, pdrm,orpdls.Anyone
else who accesses the job, such as an administrator, must use the global ID.
The values for job and document attributes are derived as follows:
1. Values specified in the
pdpr command using the -x "
AttributeValuePairs" option or specified in an
attributes file.
2. The values of an initial-value-job object specified in the job attribute
initial-value-job or the
values for an initial-value-document object specified in the document attribute
initial-value-
document
.
3. The values of an initial-value-job object specified in the
printer-initial-value-job
attribute
or the values of an initial-value-document object specified in the
printer-initial-value-
document
attribute of the logical printer the job is submitted to.
4. Server defaults for required attribute values not specified by the items in 1 through 3.
You must be authorized to submit print jobs to the specified printer if the logical printer is protected.
If the server cannot locate a physical printer (associated with the requested logical printer) supporting the
job and document attributes, the job is rejected.
Options
Use the following options with the pdpr command:
-f FileName
Specify a file that you want included in a print job. This option is useful for identifying files whose
names begin with a - character.
-g Turn off headings. This option is equivalent to specifying the command-attribute
headings=false.
-h Display a command-specific help message containing information about command syntax and options.
This option cannot be used with another option or with an attribute.
-l Create a job containing pointers (symbolic links) to the job files rather than taking snapshot copies.
When the job is assigned to a physical printer and is ready to be printed, the supervisor uses the
pointers in the job to locate the original files and copies them at that time. This can be useful when
printing large files or jobs.
Notes: You can make changes to the files after the job is accepted and up to the time the supervisor
makes a copy.
You must use caution when using this option because:
a. Depending on when you make changes to the files and the supervisor copies them, the printed out-
put may or may not reflect the changes.
b. If you delete the file before the job prints or while the job is being printed, the printed output may
fail or be incomplete.
