The following information describes how the HPDPS components
work together to process the jobs users submit. After a user submits a job to an HPDPS logical printer, HPDPS verifies
that the logical printer exists. Users either submit their jobs to
a default logical printer or specify a non-default logical printer
by name. The next step is validation.
HPDPS first compares the attribute values for the job with the attribute
values supported by the logical printer. If the logical printer supports all
of the attributes for the job, HPDPS compares the attribute values
supported by the physical printer or printers associated with the
logical printer. If at least one physical printer supports the attributes
of the job, HPDPS accepts the job. If the logical printer or the physical printer does
not support all of the attributes, HPDPS rejects the job.
See Chapter 6 for more information on validation. After the job is accepted, HPDPS sends the job to
the queue for scheduling. The queue schedules the job on the first
available physical printer that supports the attributes of the job.
You can specify scheduling methods for the queue that either schedule
the job based on the order in which it was received, or based on
the order received and the priority of the job. See “Specifying the Queue Scheduling Method ” in Chapter 6 for further information. When the physical printer receives the job, it prints
the job, unless you intervene or a printer device problem occurs. HPDPS notifies the user who submitted the job when
the job completes or if problems prevent the job from completing.
You can manage the job flow through HPDPS to keep your printing system
running with optimal performance. See Chapter 11 “Managing Jobs and Supporting Users ” for
further information. |
