    • Infoprint Select README

    Infoprint Select allows you to submit |and track jobs from a Windows workstation to a destination that is managed by Infoprint Manager on either an AIX or Windows server. Through Infoprint Select, you can submit jobs to Infoprint Manager from word processors, spreadsheets, and other desktop applications. You can print from applications, or from the DOS command line.

    |If you apply Infoprint Manager for Windows Program Temporary Fix |(PTF) UR53705 (for Windows) or Infoprint Manager for AIX Program Temporary Fix |(PTF) U484268 (for AIX), your enhanced Infoprint Select client allows you |to: |

    |For more information on these specific enhancements, see the |Infoprint Manager for Windows: Getting Started or the |Infoprint Manager for AIX: Getting Started book, as |applicable for your system, and consult the help system provided with the |Service Update 1 level of Infoprint Select.

    This section contains procedures for installing and using Infoprint Select. The following topics are covered:

    Installing Infoprint Select

    Important Note:
    |If you plan to install one or both of the Infoprint Manager GUIs as |well as Infoprint Select, the sequence of the installs is important. |Since Infoprint Select requires a system re-boot, you may wish to install the |Infoprint Manager GUI(s) first. |

    Follow these steps to install Infoprint Select on a Windows system from the Infoprint Manager Common Clients, LCD4-1917, CD-ROM:

    Note:
    If you plan to use Infoprint Select to submit print jobs to an Infoprint Manager for AIX server that uses the IBM Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) for AIX, refer to Installing DCE support for Infoprint Select with an Infoprint Manager for AIX DCE server before you continue with the installation.
    1. Insert the Infoprint Manager Common Clients CD-ROM into the drive.
    2. The install program will start automatically.
    3. Select the Install Products button, and then select the Infoprint Select button.
    4. Follow the instructions on the installation screens to install the program.
    5. Choose the type of install based upon your installation:

    Installing DCE support for Infoprint Select with an Infoprint Manager for AIX DCE server

    If you have IBM Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) installed on your computer at version 2.0 or later and your Infoprint AIX server was installed using the Advanced Security/Scalability (DCE) feature, you may choose to install DCE Support through the Custom installation method on InstallShield. DCE Support will allow you to use more than the pdpr, pdls, and pdq Infoprint Manager commands when communicating with Infoprint Manager servers that require DCE authorization. In addition, the Infoprint Manager administrator may restrict access to a printer to users who are logged into DCE with a particular DCE user ID or DCE group ID so you would not be able to submit jobs without the DCE support.

    Before you can use the extra commands or print to a restricted printer, you must do the following during the install process:

    1. Ensure that both Program Files and DCE support are selected on the next window.
    2. Proceed with the install instructions.
    3. Log into DCE as an authorized user or member of an authorized group.

    Configuring your Infoprint Manager server to work with Infoprint Select

    In order for Infoprint Select to submit print, fax, or email jobs to Infoprint Manager properly, you must configure each Infoprint Manager logical destination to accept jobs from Infoprint Select. Use the Infoprint Manager Administration GUI as described in the following procedure to configure each logical destination correctly. If you want to use the command line instead of the GUI, use the pdset command to set the client-driver-names attribute.

    Note:
    It is highly recommended that users who submit jobs with Infoprint Select send them to Infoprint logical destinations, not to Infoprint actual destinations.
    1. Log on to a system that has the Infoprint Manager Administration GUI installed on it as a user with administrator privileges.
      Note:
      To be able to complete this procedure, you must have the authority to use the pdenable, pddisable, and pdset commands. If you do not have that authority, your user id must be added to the access control lists (ACLs) on your Infoprint Manager server.
    2. Launch the Infoprint Manager Administration GUI.
    3. Select one of the logical destinations that will receive print jobs from Infoprint Select by clicking on it once.
    4. On the menu bar, click Logical and select Properties.
    5. In the Properties notebook, click the Drivers tab.
      Note:
      If you do not see the Drivers tab, click Show more, then click the Drivers tab.
    6. In the New value field next to Windows client drivers, type the name of one of the print drivers that users will use to submit jobs in conjunction with Infoprint Select.
    7. Click Add >>.
    8. Repeat from 6 for all of the drivers that users will use with Infoprint Select.
    9. Click OK.

    Configuring for Fax and Email jobs with Select

    If your logical destination is configured to send jobs to either a fax or an email DSS, you also need to set the logical destination's destination-support-system attribute is set to either fax or email, whichever is appropriate. You can modify this value through the pdset command. For example, the following sets a destination-support-system value of fax for the logical destination fax1-ld. 

    pdset -x "destination-support-system=fax" fax1-ld

    Creating Infoprint Select printers

    This section describes how to configure Infoprint Select clients to allow print job submission from Windows applications to destinations managed by an Infoprint Manager server. This section includes the following topics:

    Collecting required information

    Before you can print to an Infoprint Manager destination from a Windows application, you must add an Infoprint Select printer to your Windows environment. Collect the following information before you begin:

    Verify that the Infoprint Manager server logical destinations have been configured correctly. Refer to Configuring your Infoprint Manager server to work with Infoprint Select for more information.

    Choosing the Right PPD
    If you plan to use Infoprint Select to print PostScript jobs to an AIX DSS (Infoprint Manager for AIX only), BSD DSS, or Passthrough DSS (Infoprint Manager for Windows only) printer, be sure to use the PostScript printer driver that came with your printer when you create an Infoprint Select printer on your desktop. These drivers include PostScript Printer Definitions (PPDs) that are specific to your printer. If you submit jobs to either the AIX, BSD, or Passthrough DSS printers, do not use the printer drivers and PPDs that are provided with Infoprint Select. They contain specific actual destination attributes that apply only to PSF DSS printers.

    Drivers and Finishing
    The automatic data stream transforms that PSF printers use do not support finishing (stapling). As a result, if you plan to use Infoprint Select to submit PCL or PostScript jobs to a PSF printer (destination), you cannot specify finishing options when you submit a job, even if the print driver you use supports those options. It is recommended that you either use a different method to submit those print jobs, or that you submit them to an Infoprint printer that does not transform the data stream (such as a Passthrough printer on Infoprint Manager for Windows or an AIX printer on Infoprint Manager for AIX).

    If you cannot use a different submission method and cannot submit your jobs to a different type of Infoprint printer, the only way to request finishing options on PCL and PostScript jobs submitted to a PSF destination is to use a default job. A default job is a list of attributes that is applied to every job that a particular logical destination receives. You can use the Infoprint Manager Administration GUI to modify the default job for the logical destination that Infoprint Select sends jobs to so that it requests the appropriate finishing options. However, this method is not recommended for two reasons:

    1. Every job that you send to that logical destination will be finished the same way. For example, if you set the Finishing options attribute of the default job to staple-top-left, every job that is submitted to that printer will be stapled.
    2. A logical destination can only have one default job, and a default job can only have one finishing option set. If you want to use different finishing options, you must create multiple logical destinations, each with different options set on the default jobs. Then, you must create a different printer on your desktop to submit jobs to each logical destination.

    Creating Infoprint Select printers on Windows 98 systems

    Commands you can use with Select

    Typically, Infoprint Select is used to allow users to print to Infoprint Manager destinations from existing Windows applications (usually through the Print option on the File menu). In addition, you can use several Infoprint commands that can be issued at a Command Prompt on the client system.

    Information about security and how users can be authorized to Infoprint Manager is found in the topics "Managing Infoprint security with DCE" and "Managing non-DCE security for Infoprint Manager for AIX" in the IBM Infoprint Manager for AIX: Procedures manual.

    Information about security and how users can be authorized to Infoprint Manager is found in the topic "Managing Security" in the IBM Infoprint Manager for Windows: Procedures manual.

    Infoprint Manager allows authorized users (normally all users) to use the following Infoprint commands:

    pdls
    Lists selected attribute values for a job, destination, or other Infoprint object

    pdpr
    Submits a job to a logical destination

    pdq
    Queries the status of selected jobs, of all jobs submitted to a logical destination, or of all jobs assigned to an actual destination

    Infoprint Manager allows authorized users (the job owner is usually authorized) to use the following Infoprint commands:

    pdmod
    Modifies the attributes of submitted jobs or of the documents in them

    pdrm
    Deletes jobs

    Infoprint Manager allows only authorized users to use the following Infoprint commands:

    pdaccount
    Collects summary accounting information for a specified time period in a comma delimited format about actual destinations on one or more servers. This information can be filed and imported into a spread sheet to calculate the cost of consumables, the usage rate of printers, the cost for each user, and so forth.

    pdcreate
    Creates logical destinations, queues, actual destinations, default jobs, default documents, media, auxiliary sheets, and resource contexts

    pdclean
    Removes all jobs from a server, logical destination, queue, or actual destination

    pddelete
    Deletes servers, logical destinations, queues, actual destinations, default jobs, default documents, media, auxiliary sheets, resource contexts, and jobs

    pddisable
    Prevents destinations from accepting jobs and logs from logging

    pdenable
    Enables destinations to accept jobs and logs to log

    pdpause
    Pauses a job, actual destination, queue, or all the queues and actual destinations in a server

    pdpromote
    Advances a job to the head of the queue

    pdreorder
    Reassigns a job to an actual destination or to the unassigned jobs area in the same server or in another server, and allows you to schedule it immediately before or after another job

    pdresubmit
    Resubmits a job, all the jobs submitted to a logical destination, or all the jobs in a queue to another logical destination

    pdresume
    Enables paused objects to resume operation

    pdset
    Sets or changes the values of attributes describing Infoprint objects

    pdshutdown
    Stops servers or actual destinations

    pdspace
    Backspaces or forward spaces a PSF physical printer
    Note:
    For more information about Infoprint commands and attributes, refer to Infoprint Manager: Reference, or to the man pages. Command man pages have the same name as the command.

    Querying destination attributes

    To determine whether the logical destination london is ready to receive jobs, enter: 

    pdls -c destination -r "destination-state" london

    Submitting a job

    To submit the file myjob.ps to the logical destination london and request two-sided printing, enter: 

    pdpr -d london -x "sides=2" myjob.ps
    Note:
    The Infoprint Manager: Reference lists all the attributes and values that you can specify on the pdpr command.

    Querying jobs

    To query all the jobs that you submitted to logical destination london, enter: 

    pdq -d london

    Infoprint returns information similar to the following: 

                                            Intervening Destination Destination
Job ID               Name      State    Jobs        Requested   Assigned
--- ---------------- --------- -------- ----------- ----------- -----------
13  Serv1:1104221000 report.ps printing 0           london       caxton
14  Serv1:1104221023 myjob.ps  pending  8           london       morris    

    |Specifying the logical destination name

    |If you want to print from the command line to a single logical |destination without having to specify the -p flag or its argument |with each job, you can define the logical destination name on your system by |doing the following: |

    1. |Open a Command Prompt window and edit the autoexec.bat |file.
    2. |Add the following line to the file: 
      |SET PDPRINTER=logicaldestinationname
    3. |Save your changes and close the autoexec.bat |file.
    4. |Restart the Windows system to make this change effective. |
