piomkpq Command

Purpose

Creates a print queue.

Syntax

To add a new printer

piomkpq -A AttachmentType -p PrinterType -Q QueueName -D DataStream -v DeviceType -s Subclass -r ParentAdapter -w PortNumber [  -a { interface | ptop | autoconfig | speed | parity | bpc | stops | xon | dtr | tbc=DescValue } ] ...

To create a new print queue

piomkpq -A AttachmentType -p PrinterType {  -D DataStream |  -q QueueName } -s Subclass -r  ParentAdapter -w PortNumber -v DeviceType [  -a { interface | ptop | autoconfig | speed | parity | bpc | stops | xon | dtr | tbc=DescValue } ] ...

To create print queues for an existing printer

piomkpq -A AttachmentType -p PrinterType -d DeviceName { -D DataStream |  -q QueueName }

To add an existing printer to an existing print queue

piomkpq -A AttachmentType -p PrinterType -d DeviceName -D DataStream -q QueueName

Description

The piomkpq command creates print queues and printers. This command is used by SMIT dialogs that are created with the piomkapqd command. The piomkpq command performs the following functions:

Creates printer devices with various attachment types.
Creates print queues.
Creates queue devices.
Creates virtual printers.
Creates pseudo-devices.

Flags

Table 1. Flags
Item	Description
-a	Specifies a device attribute. This takes the form `Attribute=Value`, for example: `-a speed=9600.` The valid attributes are: `Interface` `ptop` `autoconfic` `speed` `parity` `bpc` `stops` `xon` `dtr` `tbc`
-A `AttachmentType`	Specifies the type of attachment that is used to connect the printer to the data source. Common values for the `AttachmentType` variable are: `local` Specifies a local attachment type. `ascii` Specifies an ASCII attachment type. `file` Specifies a file where the data is stored.
-d `DeviceName`	Specifies the name of the device, pseudo-device, or file where the output is directed, for example `lp0` or `tty1`.
-D `DataStream`	Specifies the datastream of a print queue to be created or an existing print queue.
-p `PrinterType`	Specifies the printer type as defined in the /usr/lib/lpd/pio/predef directory, for example `ibm4019`.
-q `QueueName`	Specifies a new queue name. The -q and -Q flags are exclusive.
-Q `QueueName`	Specifies an existing queue name. The -q and -Q flags are exclusive.
-s `Subclass`	Specifies the subclass type to which the printer belongs. The possible values for the `Subclass` variable are: `parallel` `rs232` `rs422`
-r `ParentAdapter`	Specifies the parent adapter for the printer.
-w `PortNumber`	Specifies the port number for the printer attachment.
-v `DeviceType`	Specifies the device type as defined in the ODM database.

Examples

To create a local print queue that is named castor of datastream ASCII for an existing IBM 4019 printer that is named lp0, enter:
```
piomkpq -A local -p ibm4019 -d lp0 -D asc -q castor
```
To add an existing local printer to an existing local print queue called pyrite for the datastream PostScript, enter:
```
piomkpq -A local -p ibm4019 -d lp0 -Q pyrite -D ps
```

To create local print queue called baker for a new printer, enter:

piomkpq -A local -p ibm4019 -D asc -Q baker -s parallel -r ppa0
-w p -v ibm4019 [-a ptop=120]

To create the clues file print queue, enter:

piomkpq -A file -p ibm4019 -d clues -D asc -q baker
