Printer attachment file structure

Edit online

Attachment files are ASCII files.

Each line in an attachment file defines a field using the following format:

FieldName = Value

The following field names have special meanings in the attachment file:

  • description
  • seq_num
  • supported
  • unsupported

The following field names define SMIT selector IDs. The Value variable must contain a SMIT selector ID. The selector ID value of each field specifies the target of the branch. The SMIT fields are:

  • submit_job
  • add_queue
  • add_printer
  • remove_queue
  • printer_conn
  • change_queue
  • change_filters

Every attachment file should contain the description, add_queue, and remove_queue fields. All other fields are optional. Fields with a null value are treated as if the field were missing. There is no restriction on the other contents of an attachment file.

The following example attachment file is named term_serv.attach:

description = term_serv.cat,1,3; Printer Attached to Terminal Server
seq_num = 2
submit_job = term_serv_start_job
add_queue = term_serv_add
add_printer = term_serv_printer
remove_queue = term_serv_remove
printer_conn = term_serv_printer_conn
change_queue = term_serv_change
change_filters = term_serv_change_filters
unsupported = ibm6252,ibm6262
