17.7. Data Manipulation in the Logical Printer Layer

Note: Skip Section 17.7 if you will not be working with data manipulation in the logical printer layer.

17.7.1. Examples of Logical Printer Definitions

If you work in a complex environment where you really want to get the most of each multi-protocol print server, it would be a good idea to make a table showing the kinds of capabilities you want to use in each logical printer.

Figure 8. is an example of how to do this. It shows a set of defi- nitions for logical printers, using every day descriptions instead of a printer control language. Even if you only need a few logi- cal printers, it can be inspiring to consider the examples of how the different processing capabilities can be combined. There are two assumptions made in this example:

aSixteen sets of input and output strings have been (or will be) defined on the [Substitution Strings] page (refer to the chapter on “[Substitution Strings]” [page 157] when you need to do an actual configuration).

Each “substitution string” has a number. To tell a logical printer that it should use a substitution string, you list the number in the logical printer definition, just as it is shown on the table below.

bThe Network Destination Option (NDO) is not enabled, so the only target printer available is “local”. Later in this chapter we will see what happens when network printers are added.
