DESCRIPTION
Use this administrative command,
pdcreate, to create print objects (except servers, logs, documents and
jobs) and to set their attributes to specific values.
Note: Servers and logs are created when the server is started. Documents and jobs are created when the
files are submitted for printing with the
pdpr command.
You must submit the pdcreate command to the appropriate server. HPDPS spoolers and supervisors
support different sets of object classes.
Spooler Supervisor
document document
initial-value-document job
initial-value-job log
job printer (physical)
log server
printer (logical)
queue
server
You can use the pdcreate command to create objects for the following object classes:
• printer (logical and physical)
• queue
• initial-value-job
• initial-value-document
When you create a printer object, it remains in the disabled state so that print jobs cannot be accepted.
You must issue the pdenable command to place the printers in an enabled state.
An object you create with the pdcreate command still exists even if the server in which it is contained is
terminated normally (shutdown) or abnormally. A logical printer or queue returns to its previous state
when its server is restarted. A physical printer attempts to return to its previous state when its server is
restarted.
Options
pdcreate accepts the following options:
-c ObjectClass
Specify the object class you want for this command. The ObjectClass can be:
printer (default)
queue
initial-value-job
initial-value-document
You can only specify one class per command invocation. This option is equivalent to specifying the
command-attribute class.
-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.
