Specifying printer options

About this task

The Content Manager OnDemand application contains the printer options that Content Manager OnDemand specifies to Infoprint along with a copy of the document to be printed. The printer options are the same as those that can be specified with the Infoprint lp command.

Procedure

To specify printer options for a Content Manager OnDemand application by using the OnDemand Administrator client, do the following steps:

  1. Start the OnDemand Administrator client.
  2. Log on to the server.
  3. Point to Applications.
    • If you are adding an application, click the right mouse button. Then select New Application from the menu to open the Add an Application dialog box.
    • If you are modifying an application, point the application in the list and click the right mouse button. Then select Update from the menu to open the Update an Application dialog box.
  4. Move to the Print Options page.
  5. Optional: Specify a default server printer in the Default Server Printer field.
    The name of the default server printer will appear in the server printer name field when a user prints a document from the application by using the server print command from the Windows client. For more information, see the online help.
  6. Under Server Options, complete the Print Parameters field by specifying options that can be specified with the Infoprint lp command.
    For a list of the valid options for the lp command, see z/OS® Infoprint Server User's Guide.
    Note: The Infoprint lp command is not the same command as the lp command that is delivered with UNIX System Services. The UNIX System Services lp command will not work with Content Manager OnDemand.
  7. When you are finished adding or modifying the application, click OK to save the information that you specified.

Results

In addition to the Printer options in the application, you can specify additional parameters when you make a print request. You can save these options for future print requests. These parameters include class, dest, node, writer, pagedef, formdef, forms, and routing.
