Two additional HPDPS objects not
mentioned earlier are called initial-value-job and initial-value-document objects.
Initial-value-job objects are objects that
represent default attribute values for a job. Likewise, initial-value-document objects
are objects that represent default attribute values for a document.
You can use initial-value-job and initial-value-document objects
to assign values to attributes. Users can specify values for job
and document attributes when they submit jobs. Finally, the HPDPS
spooler assigns values to certain job and document attributes you
or your users do not specify.
The values for job and document attributes will be determined
as follows, by order of precedence:
By the user with the pdpr command and the -x flag to specify individual attributes and values.
By the user with the pdpr command and the initial-value-job job attribute or the initial-value-document document attribute. You must have first created
the initial-value-job and initial-value-document objects for your
users. See “Creating and Configuring Initial-Value-Job and
Initial-Value-Document Objects ” in Chapter 6 for details.
By you when you create an initial-value-job or initial-value-document object
with the pdcreate command and associate the objects with HPDPS logical
printers. You use the printer-initial-value-job and printer-initial-value-document logical printer attributes to make the associations.
See “Creating an Initial Value Object ” in Chapter 6 for instructions on creating
these HPDPS objects.
By HPDPS using server default values if neither
your users nor you have specified attributes and values.
