NBSpool Features

This section provides information on NBSpool features. These features have been designed to allow

you to easily and quickly interact with spool files. These features include:

• A flexible method of selecting subsets of spool files to alter, move, store, purge etc. Selections

can be made on one or more of the following:

Spool file DFID or range of DFIDs

Job/session number or range of job/session numbers

Output priority or range of output priorities

Logical device number

Device class with wild cards

File names with wild cards

$STDLISTs (include or exclude them)

• LPR/LPD support which enables you to send and receive print jobs to and from remote hosts,

whether they are on HP 9000s, Sun SparcStations or any other UNIX environment.

•

BOOTP support which can make your HP 3000 the BOOTP server for printers that require an IP

address before they can be accessed by NBSpool. This eliminates the need for a UNIX system

to perform the task.

• A

SHOW command which displays a selective listing of spool files, including information not

found on a

SHOWOUT listing.
