Specifying Attributes for HPDPS Print Jobs

Using the pdpr Command

To print multiple documents in one job, list each of the document file
names as arguments of the pdpr command. All document files in the job
must have the same attributes or HPDPS will reject the job. For
example, they must have the same data format such as ASCII or
PostScript. Specify any document attributes, such as sides=2 or
number-up=4 before the list of file names.
The following examples show how you can specify multiple files with a
single pdpr command.
To submit the files File1 and File2 to the default logical printer, enter:
pdpr File1 File2
To submit the documents File1 and File2 to the default logical printer
and specify three copies of each document with duplexed printing, enter:
pdpr -x "copy-count=3 sides=2" File1 File2
In the above example, HPDPS prints three copies of File1 followed by
three of File2. As an alternative, to print multiple copies of the same
job, you can use the job-copies component of the results-profile
job attribute. So, to submit a job that prints a single copy of File3 and
File4 and then prints the job again, enter:
pdpr -x "results-profile=:::2:" File3 File4
Here, results-profile is a complex attribute, that is, one that has
multiple values. It contains the following components:
• delivery-method
• results-set-comment
• delivery-address
• job-copies
• output-bin
In the example above, the components are separated by colons. See
"Complex Attributes Using Colons" in Chapter 3 for rules on colon
syntax. See HP Distributed Print Service Administration Guide or the
manpage pd_att_job(5) for details on results-profile.

Using a Reference File

You can use a reference file that contains a list of the documents you
want to print with the pdpr command. For example,
