Currently, only postscript files are supported in this manner. Also, you must have a valid SP account to use this method. Any errors which occur during processing will not be evident to the person submitting the print file in this way. If you have waited an appropriate amount of time, and still do not receive output, please contact the system administrator. Print Distribution Printout is distributed along with other output from the mainframe printers.
Output is sorted into bins, according the the print job's banner page.
Below are the default values, and the qprt command flags to override them. On the SP, the qprt command is aliased to specify printing of a banner page. Therefore if you are using another AIX machine to send print jobs to the mainframe printers, you should make sure to either use the lpr command, or include the -Baa flag on the qprt command. You can explicitly include the -Ban flag on the qprt command to force a banner page. The default queue on the SP is currently landscape.
