How to Set Print Option Values Only for the Duration of a Call

1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

   Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

2. Set option values.

   # /usr/lib/lpsched option value

   -f num_filters

   Specifies the number of concurrent slow filters that can be run on a print server.

   -n num_notifiers

   Specifies the number of concurrent notification processes that can run on a print server.

   -p fd_limit

   Specifies the file descriptor resource limit for the lpsched process.

   -r reserved_fds

   Specifies the number of file descriptors that the scheduler reserves for internal communications under heavy load.

Example 8–2 Setting Option Values Only for the Duration of a Call

This example shows how to set the number of filters to 2. The remaining options will use the defaults that are in the print scheduler.

# /usr/lib/lpsched -f 2

To use the default options that are in the print scheduler, run the /usr/lib/lpsched command without any options.

Note that starting the print scheduler by using the /usr/lib/lpsched command does not utilize the values that are set with the svccfg command.
