printer.
Response 1:
For each virtual printer defined in your virtual machine configuration, the first three
lines of the response are:
PRT vdev CL c { CONT} { HOLD} {COPY nnn} { READY} FORM userform
{NOCONT} {NOHOLD} {CPY *nnn} {NOTREADY}
vdev TO userid {RDR} DIST distcode FLASHC ccc DEST dest
{PRT}
{PUN}
vdev FLASH name CHAR char [char[char[char]]] MDFY cmod n FCB fcb LPP nnn
For 3800 printers only, an additional line follows:
vdev SIZE width length {2WCGM} {BTS} {DATCK }
{4WCGM} {CFS} {NODATCK}
The remaining lines of the response for all printers are:
vdev type { EOF} {OPEN spoolid} { KEEP} { MSG} { NAME fname ftype}
{NOEOF} {CLOSED } {NOKEEP} {NOMSG} {NONAME }
[vdev SUBCHANNEL = vsub]
