Command Syntax

Setting Attributes When an Object is Created

A specifiable attribute can be set only when you create the object.You
can specify an attribute with the pdcreate or the pdpr command.
The pdpr command creates a job object.
NOTE
For example, the following command creates a logical printer called
LogPrt1 in the server (spooler) called SPOOL1, setting the logical printer
attribute,printer-realization, to logical as well as assigning the
attribute maximum-copies-supported the value of 4.
pdcreate -x "maximum-copies-supported=4 \
printer-realization=logical" SPOOL1:LogPrt1
The attribute printer-realization and its value is a specifiable
object-attribute and cannot be changed. You should note that in this
example, it is not necessary to set this attribute to logical since it
would have been set by default.
The attribute maximum-copies-supported is modifiable, however, as
described below.

Setting Attributes After an Object is Created

You can set or modify the value for any settable attribute using the
pdmod command (for job and document objects only) or the pdset
command (for all objects, including jobs and documents).
For example, the following command sets (modifies) a new value for the
maximum-copies-supported attribute from the previous example. The
new value is 2.
pdset -x "maximum-copies-supported=2" LogPrt1
Attributes That Cannot be Specified or Set
Some attributes are non-settable. For example, in the following
command, HPDPS uses the argument of the command to assign the
printer attribute printer-name the value LogPrt1, and the
associated-server attribute the value SPOOL1.
pdcreate -x "maximum-copies-supported=4" SPOOL1:LogPrt1
Here, the user did not directly specify the printer-name nor
associated-server attributes; HPDPS sets them from the printer and
server names indicated within the command.
