When you submit a job to a logical printer, any of the logical
printer's associated physical printers that support all of the job
and document attributes may print the job. When the printer finishes
printing your job, HPDPS can send you a notification message and
display the name of the physical printer on which your job was printed.
You may be able to determine the location of that physical
printer by querying its printer-locations
attribute. For example, suppose you submitted a job and received
notification that it completed on physical printer PhysPrt1.
You can use the following command to attempt to display the location
of the printer device associated with that physical printer:
pdls -c printer -r "printer-locations" PhysPrt1 |
If your administrator has kept the optional printer-locations
attribute up-to-date, the text string will accurately tell you where
the printer device is located. For example, HPDPS might display
a text string describing the location of the printer device:
PhysPrt1: printer-locations = Building 21 |
