Usage Guidelines

  • While this attribute is accessed through an actual destination, the information comes from the device the actual destination represents and not the actual destination, which is why InfoPrint considers this a device-specific attribute. This attribute is not contained in the actual destination's attributes set. You can list the device-specific attributes with the pdls command by specifying -r all-device.
  • If the value of the snmp-active actual destination attribute is false, this attribute is ignored.
  • The device must support this attribute to query this attribute.
