Determining Which Printer Device

Printed the Job

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
