HPDPS Object Classes vs. Objects

HPDPS Object Classes vs. Objects
Objects have associated attributes that provide information about them.
Objects are grouped into classes. An object class contains objects that
share a common definition and common properties, operations, and
behavior. The object classes printer and server are sub-divided as
shown in Table 3-1; however, only the basic class can be used in a
command.
Table 3-1, "HPDPS Object Classes," lists the object classes supported by
HPDPS.
