What Functionality Does HPDPS
Provide?
You can query a job's status and receive messages telling you how your
job is progressing.
HPDPS will validate your job, ensuring that there are printers capable of
printing it.
When you submit a job, you can indicate specific characteristics or
attributes for your job and the documents in your job. If you need to alter
these attributes, you can modify the job at any time until the job begins
printing. For example, suppose you submit a job and then realize you
need multiple copies or two-sided output. As long as the job is still
waiting to print, you can modify the request.
If the printers become too busy or inoperable, you can move your job to
another printer without reconstructing the job.
You can select which job-related messages you want to receive. For
example, if your printer is located within your work area, you may not
want messages related to problems with the printer but you may want to
know if your job is cancelled by the administrator before it gets to the
printer. If you are sending a high-priority job to a printer that is not
located near you, you may want to get detailed information about any
significant happenings related to the job. In addition, you can route some
job messages to other interested users.
