BSD DSS can print. You can update the destination attribute document-format-supported to include any or all of these values.
Default Value
The server identifies the document format. If the format cannot be determined, ascii
Usage Guidelines
- If you or a default document you specify do not provide a value for this attribute with the pdpr command, the server tries to determine the file format. If it cannot determine the format, InfoPrint uses the default.
- InfoPrint validates and schedules jobs using this attribute against the destination attribute document-formats-supported.
- You cannot print ASCII documents and documents with other formats in the same job, except for CUPS DSS.
