Default Values For Attributes; Syntax For Attribute Values; Single-Value Attributes - HP 9000 User Manual

Command Syntax
There are likewise other attributes such as total-job-octets,
current-job-state, or job-copies-completed that are determined
and set by HPDPS.

Default Values for Attributes

For some attributes, the default value is "no value".
• When you create an object, HPDPS assigns a default value (or values,
for some multi-value attributes) to each attribute. You can override
these default values by specifying a different value using the -x and -
X flags.
• The values can be changed back to their default values using the
pdmod or pdset commands and specifying the attribute name
followed by == without any attribute value.
For example, the following command sets the value assigned to
content-orientations-supported for the physical printer
PhysPrt3 back to its default value:
pdset -x "content-orientations-supported==" SUPER1:PhysPrt3
• Deleting all the values from a multi-valued attribute or deleting the
value of a single-valued attribute sets the attribute value to the
default values.

Syntax for Attribute Values

This section describes the syntax for some types of attributes and the
values that can be assigned to them. Most attributes are either single
valued (they can have only one value at a time) or multi-valued (they
can have multiple values). There are also some attributes identified as
complex attributes.

Single-Value Attributes

For single-valued attributes, the syntax is:
AttributeName=AttributeValue
Use single quotes if the value includes spaces (such as the message
value for a notification profile). An example is:
-x "media-supported=iso-a4-white \
message=`These attributes are for LogPrt2'"
