2 Introduction to Xprint V7.0 This chapter describes the concepts of Xprint V7.0, which you must be familiar with in order to use this product. It describes the objects comprising Xprint V7.0 and how these objects interact. 2.1 Xprint V7.0 from the user’s point of view From the point of view of the user, Xprint V7.0 represents a number of commands and a graphical interface used for printing files. For the user, the entire Xprint V7.
Xprint V7.0 from the user’s point of view Introduction to Xprint V7.0 case that you are unable to access some of the visible output devices because you have not been granted the necessary rights to use them. There may also be groups of output devices available. These device groups combine several output devices to provide quicker spoolout.
Introduction to Xprint V7.0 Xprint V7.0 from the user’s point of view As an Xprint V7.0 user you can also decide which interface you want to use on your system. See the following figure for your options: Figure 3: User‘s options The various interfaces offer you the following options: ● The menu interface allows you to perform all actions via a graphical user interface. ● Using the command line interface, you can perform all actions by entering Xprint V7.0 commands.
Mercator ● Introduction to Xprint V7.0 The application programming interface API enables applications to access the Xprint V7.0 system via C function calls. 2.2 Mercator Mercator is the graphical user interface for Xprint V7.0. It allows the administrator to have easy access to Host, Devices, Device groups and Job properties. It also provides a quick overview of what is happening in the whole print domain or a subset of it.
Introduction to Xprint V7.0 2.4.1 Xprint V7.0 elements Xprint V7.0 objects Xprint V7.0 is an object-oriented system. This is also reflected in the way Xprint V7.0 is used. Almost all the Xprint V7.0 commands can be used with the different object types, which is why the number of Xprint V7.0 commands is relatively low. The following section provides an overview of the available objects and their use. The following objects are defined in Xprint V7.0.
Xprint V7.0 elements Introduction to Xprint V7.0 The Xprint V7.0 database contains all the data Xprint V7.0 needs to access Xprint V7.0 resources. This includes information on the defined hosts, users, devices and device groups as well as on forms and all the other Xprint V7.0 objects. Only the print jobs are stored on the server responsible for their execution. ● Servers (-srv) Servers are the Xprint V7.0 objects which administer incoming print jobs and are responsible for scheduling them.
Introduction to Xprint V7.0 Xprint V7.0 elements the printer by default and usually only define the hopper or the page format (margins) or the font. If a specific form requires that special paper be mounted in the printer manually or that a font cassette be changed, a manual form makes sure that the job is only printed when the printer has been prepared. ● PCLs (-pcl) PCLs (printer capability lists) are used to define what printing options a device provides.
Xprint V7.0 elements ● Introduction to Xprint V7.0 Fonts (-fnt) Font types supported by the printers in use can be easily accessed through the definition of fonts. ● Job templates (-jtp) Job templates serve to simplify the use of frequent print commands by allowing the options of the xpadd command, which must normally be specified individually, to be combined in groups. These can then be specified via the job template.
Introduction to Xprint V7.0 2.4.2 Xprint V7.0 elements Options for printing documents In a network as well as on a stand-alone system, Xprint V7.0 provides extensive functionality for printing documents (see also the Reference Manual): ● Selecting the output device of your choice You can print your documents on any device in the Xprint V7.0 system which you are allowed to use. You can choose either an individual device or a device group as the destination.
Xprint V7.0 elements ● Introduction to Xprint V7.0 Printing confidential documents Every user and every device under Xprint V7.0 has what is called a “security level”. This allows you to ensure that confidential jobs are only printed on those devices which feature a corresponding security level. ● Selecting forms If there are several forms defined for a device, you can specify which of these forms you want to use for printing. Forms define the page format and the font attributes of a printout.
3 Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 This chapter describes how to print documents using the command line interface. To begin with, it introduces the basic structure of the Xprint V7.0 commands available to the normal Xprint V7.0 user and describes how and where you can obtain additional information on the commands. This is followed by several sections explaining the most important options for printing documents. 3.1 Basic information This section provides an introduction to using the Xprint V7.
Basic information Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Structure of Xprint V7.0 commands This section describes the general structure of the Xprint V7.0 commands. Command Object type [Selection] Options ---------------------------------------------------xpadd -job -dr file1 -ct SIMPLE xpshow -job 13 -di LONG xpdel -job 13 Every Xprint V7.0 command is called using this format. The name of the command, e.g. xpadd, is followed by the short identifier for the object type consisting of three characters, e.g.
Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 3.2 Printing files Printing files This section describes the simplest way of printing files with Xprint V7.0. This might be sufficient for some users while other users will require further options. Use the following basic command to print a complete document on your default printer: xpadd [-job] -dr selection If you want to print a file, you do not have to specify the object type -job for the xpadd command as this is the default for xpadd.

Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 3.3 Selecting a printer Selecting a printer Xprint V7.0 allows you to print documents on any printer within your Xprint V7.0 domain. You can select any printer for your printout for which you have the required privileges. There are two possible ways of selecting printers or printer groups for printing in Xprint V7.0.
Selecting a printer Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 To address a printer (group) via a gateway, you must specify both the name of the gateway and the name of the desired destination, separating the names with the ! character. Only the administrator can find out the name of all the gateways available using the xpshow -gtw command. To address a printer via a gateway, specify the combination gateway!printer as the printer name with the -de option.
Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Using Xprint V7.0 options To print file1 on printer printer2: xpadd -dr file1 – To configure printers printer1 and printer2 as the default destination: XP_DESTIN=“printer1 printer2" export XP_DESTIN To print the file file1 on one of the printers printer1 or printer2: xpadd -dr file1 3.4 Using Xprint V7.0 options This section describes further options for printing files with Xprint V7.0.
Using Xprint V7.0 options Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 --23 pages up to page 23 are printed. You can specify combinations of page ranges: --15,17all pages are printed except for page 16. --15,27-30,35all pages up to page 15, from page 27 through page 30, and from page 35 onward are printed. --15,30,35 all pages up to page 15, page 30, and all pages from page 35 onward are printed. Finally, you can combine individual pages and page ranges.
Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Using Xprint V7.
Using Xprint V7.0 options Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Otherwise, the content type is set to COMPATIBLE. ● If you are printing more than one document, then the content type than is determined for the first document will be used for all the other documents in the job. 3.4.3 Creating printouts with special formats Usually, a printer is not only capable of printing data on paper but can also do this in different formats. Therefore Xprint V7.
Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Using Xprint V7.0 options -vm vertical_motion This option is used to specify the number of lines to be printed per inch. Selecting the layup Many printers can print in PORTRAIT and in LANDSCAPE format. In most cases the default is PORTRAIT.
Using Xprint V7.0 options Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Defining the margin settings When printing under Xprint V7.0, you can also define which part of a page is to be printed on. The following figure provides an overview of the possible settings and is followed by a description of the individual options. -pw T, B, L and R mark the printer-dependent nonprintable area.
Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Using Xprint V7.0 options Xprint V7.0 always defines its printable area by means of the logical page specified with the options -pl (page length) and -ll (line length). The margin options -tm (top margin) and -lm (left margin) can also be used for defining the printable area within the physical page. If only the margin settings -tm and -lm are specified, the bottom and right margin of the logical page are defined via the non-printable area.
Using Xprint V7.0 options Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Switching double-sided printing on/off When printing jobs which comprise several pages, it often makes sense to change the page settings for even- and odd-numbered pages in such a way that they face each other as in a book. The margin settings should be set alternately to result in a symmetrical overall image. The following figure shows the various options for double-sided printing under Xprint V7.
Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Using Xprint V7.0 options Selecting specific character sets Depending on the PCL, a printer supports a number of special character sets, e.g. ENGLISH, FRENCH, INTERNATIONAL etc. If you want a job to be printed using a specific character set table, e.g. the character set INTERNATIONAL, you must specify this with the option -la character_set. The supported character sets can be seen in the Language field of the output of the xpshow -pcl pcl_name -di LONG command.
Using Xprint V7.0 options 3.4.4 Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Using Loadable Resources The figure below gives a simplified view of how loadable resources work. This is explained more fully in the following paragraphs. Data (document) This is sample text. This is another line. This is sample text. This is another line of sample text. This is a further line of sample text. This is one more line of sample text. This is a further line of sample text. This is one more line of... This is sample text.
Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Using Xprint V7.0 options Loadable resources (such as fonts, logos etc.) can be sent to the printer separately from the document. The printer will merge the data and the loadable resource to give the required printed output. The resources external to the document can be defined as Xprint V7.0 objects called “loadable resources”.
Using Xprint V7.0 options 3.4.4.2 Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Using Private Loadable Resources Only administrators can create public loadable resources, but users can create private loadable resources. To do this, create a file named .Xprint in your home directory. You can insert as many comment lines as you like, which must start with the “#” character. The definition of a loadable resource starts with its name followed by any options allowed by xpadd -lrs.
Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Using Xprint V7.0 options For inter-domain printing, resources are assumed to be available in the remote domain. This restricts resources to public ones. 3.4.5 Copying print files before printing and deleting them after printing The basic command xpadd -dr file prints the specified file by adding to the job queue a reference to the original file.
Using Xprint V7.0 options 3.4.6 Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Defining separator pages With printers which are used by many users at the same time or when listing paper is used, it can make sense to add separator pages between the different print jobs. This makes it easier to distinguish the print jobs of the individual users or two different print jobs. For this purpose, Xprint V7.0 offers the option of defining print jobs with a start or end sheet.
Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 3.4.7 Using Xprint V7.0 options Printing several copies of a document There are two possible ways of printing several copies of a document. Firstly, you can print the entire document, and secondly you can print each page of the document several times. The difference is that in the first case the copies of the document are sorted while in the second case they are not.
Using Xprint V7.0 options 3.4.8 Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Requesting notification of the result Xprint V7.0 allows you to have a message about the result of a print job sent to you. This is particularly useful if the period of time between the job’s submission and its execution is fairly long (e.g. in the case of scheduled print jobs and jobs with a low priority). For this purpose, Xprint V7.
Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 3.4.9 Using Xprint V7.0 options Using further options This section describes further useful options of the xpadd command. Printing in raw mode Besides printing on predefined forms, Xprint V7.0 allows you to specify formatting and printer control sequences for the printer yourself. This can be done with the -rw option (raw mode). Xprint V7.0 sends the document to the selected printer without making changes to your formatting.
Using Xprint V7.0 options Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 The -wa option (wait activation) allows you to assign the status SCHEDULED to the print job. This means that the print job is added to the print queue and moves in it according to its priority. When it comes to the top position, the printer to which the job is assigned is no longer available for other jobs. Only when the print job is explicitly assigned the status ACTIVE (xpchange -job, option -st ACTIVE), is printing started.
Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Using Xprint V7.0 options – the e-mail adress of a user – the operating system of a host... It consists in a list of strings that can be stored in all Xprint V7.0 objects. Each string must respect the following format: “=”. Example: name [...] [operand] [options] ex "variable1=value1" "variable2=value2" [...] Besides the options mentioned above, there are numerous additional options for printing files with Xprint V7.0.
Using other Xprint V7.0 objects 3.5 Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Using other Xprint V7.0 objects The previous section has already mentioned a number of options which are in some cases closely related to each other. For example, the options for defining font settings and the options for defining page settings are logically connected. Xprint V7.0 responds to this fact by providing two objects which combine logically connected settings. These are the objects font (-fnt) and form (-frm).
Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 i Using other Xprint V7.0 objects Jobs using forms of the type MANUAL, which require manual intervention at the printer, are only printed when Xprint V7.0 is informed that the required steps for printing these jobs have been performed. For this purpose Xprint V7.0 provides the xpmount command which sends this information to Xprint V7.0.
Using other Xprint V7.0 objects Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Examples – To display all defined forms : xpshow -frm A list of all the available forms is displayed, which might read as follows: Name ---GENERIC LETTER A5LAND MANUAL i Default font -----------GENERIC COURIER GENERIC GENERIC Layup ----PORTRAIT PORTRAIT LANDSCAPE LANDSCAPE User perm.
Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Using other Xprint V7.0 objects Selection: 1. printer1 2. printer2 3. printer3 Type number or”?” for help: Input: 1 Device”printer1" has been selected. Please mount”A5LAND" on device”printer1". Type "y" when finished or"?" for help: Input: y Form"A5LAND" is now mounted on device"printer1". The printer now starts printing the document file1.
Job templates 3.6 Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Job templates Just as different font settings can be combined in the font objects, print job settings can be combined in an Xprint V7.0 object. This is called a job template (-jtp). Job templates can either be predefined by the administrator for the entire system and made available to all users, or they can be defined by each individual user as private job templates. In Xprint V7.
Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Job templates Examples – To display the job templates available in the system: xpshow -jtp The system displays a list of all the job templates the Xprint V7.0 administrator has defined. This list can look, for example, as follows: Name rm ---letter1 letter2 template1 Destination ----------printer1 printer1 Form Font ---- ---- A5LAND TIMES fc -001 001 001 -020 001 001 pr -RESET RESET RESET You can use any of the listed templates for your print jobs.
Job templates 3.6.2 Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Defining customized job templates Not only the system administrator but also the users themselves can define job templates. To do this, create a file named .Xprint V7.0 in your home directory. You can insert as many comment lines as you like. Comment lines must start with the ’#’ character. The definition of the job template starts with the template name. This is followed by the options for this template. All xpadd options are allowed.
Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 i Job templates If a customized job template has the same name as a predefined job template, the customized one is given preference over the predefined template when this name is selected. This means that your .Xprint V7.0 file is searched first for the customized job template. If it cannot be found, the .Xprint V7.0 file does not exist or is not readable, the job template is assumed to be a globally defined template.
4 Managing print jobs This section shows the possible ways of displaying, modifying or deleting a submitted print job. The following table serves as a guide through this section: If you want to ... Read ...
Selecting a print job Managing print jobs The global ID consists of the name of the server which processes the print job and a serial job number for this server. This ID can be used from any host on which you are registered as a user. The permanent ID is an extension of the local ID, intended to be unique in time, i.e. never reused for another job. The permanent job ID is made of the client host name, a counter that garantees the permanence of this identifier and the local ID.
Managing print jobs Selecting a print job The permanent job identifier The permanent job identifier is usable in the same way as the local job id in the PRISMAnet domain. A new key has been integrated in the job structure to garantee the permanence of the job identifier, which means it will never be assigned to another job. The permanent job identifier format is: H@C@L Where H:is the client host name to make the permanent id single in a domain. @:is the first separator character.
Selecting a print job Managing print jobs XP000002: Job () added The permanent job id is only usable locally on the submission host as it is the case with the local job id. Example: A job with the permanent job id "host1@0000003049@5" has been added on host1 and the following command is submitted from host2: # xpshow host1@0000003049@5 L.
Managing print jobs Selecting a print job – To display all print jobs with the priority 5 and the content type SIMPLE: xpshow [-job] -scl "-pr 5 -ct SIMPLE" – To display all print jobs for which the option -cp was specified: xpshow [-job] -scl "-cp+" or xpshow [-job] -scl "-cp" – To display all the print jobs for which the option -cp was not specified: xpshow [-job] -scl "-cp-" U23841-J-Z915-6-76 53
Selecting a print job Managing print jobs Examples of the output formats SHORT and LONG – To obtain a SHORT display, enter the following command: xpshow [-job] -scl "-de printer1" [-di SHORT] You will obtain the following display: L.
Managing print jobs 4.2 Displaying print jobs Displaying print jobs You can display individual or all print jobs in the print queue. Information on your print jobs can be obtained with the commands xpshow and xpstat which also allow you to view the status of your print jobs : i The xpshow and xpstat commands can be used to display the attributes of all objects in Xprint V7.0. Therefore the following applies not only to print jobs but to all Xprint V7.0 objects.
Displaying print jobs Managing print jobs Selected information on print jobs You can also display only specific attributes of print jobs. This is again achieved by means of parameter lists or templates. Displaying attributes via parameter list If you only want to display specific attributes for print jobs, use the following command: ● xpshow -di "parameter_list" The selected attributes must be specified for parameter_list, listing the individual parameters in one string.
Managing print jobs Displaying print jobs where display_template represents the name of the template you want to use. Defining a display template To define a display template, proceed as follows: ● Open the .Xprint V7.0 file in your login directory. ● Enter the new display template as follows: display_template parameter_list display_template is the name of the template under which the display template will be called with the xpshow ... -di display_template command.
Displaying print jobs Managing print jobs Basically, there are two ways of setting these variables: You can define them globally, i.e.
Managing print jobs Displaying print jobs Display examples – Job status display (SHORT): L jid ----1 Global jid ---------se1:511 Destination ----------P1 Rank ---0001 Percentage ---------000 State ----WAIT – Job status display (LONG): LOCAL JOB ID.: 3 Global job id.
Displaying print jobs Managing print jobs XP_FS=... export XP_FW XP_FS – To use the display settings of the previous example only once for a display with my_template: XP_FW=0 XP_FS=...
Managing print jobs 4.3 Modifying a submitted print job Modifying a submitted print job When a print job is submitted, you can still modify its attributes as long as the job has not yet been printed. You can, for example, redirect a print job to another printer or select a different form. You can also redirect a print job to a remote domain.
Modifying a submitted print job Managing print jobs – To redirect a print job: Spoolin print job job1 on printer printer1, which only supports the data format POSTSCRIPT; there is a filter available, however, for converting the format SIMPLE to POSTSCRIPT: xpadd -job -dr job1 -de printer1 -ct SIMPLE If the print job is then redirected to the printer printer2, this must be able to handle the data format POSTSCRIPT, as job1 was automatically converted at spoolin: xpmod -job job1 -de printer2 – To redirect
Managing print jobs 4.4 Redirecting print jobs Redirecting print jobs The xprdir command can be used to redirect print jobs assigned to a specific printer to another printer, but you can only redirect the entire print queue of a printer, not individual print jobs. This redirection is permanent, i.e. it also applies to all subsequent jobs for the original printer, and must be canceled explicitly. Please note that xprdir is provided for compatibility purpose only. You should use xpchange -dev -rd instead.
Redirecting print jobs Managing print jobs RESTART-BEGINNING When the job has been redirected to the new destination it is put at the top of the job queue and printed from the beginning. RESTART-FROM When the job has been redirected to the new destination it is put at the top of the job queue and printed starting with the page specified with option -p. SUSPEND When the job has been redirected to the new destination it is assigned the status SUSPEND.
Managing print jobs 4.5 Deleting print jobs Deleting print jobs You can delete a print job that is in the print queue or is being printed. ● To delete a print job, use the xpdel command: xpdel selection For selection you can either specify a list of job identifiers or, with the option -scl “selection_criteria_list”, define a list of criteria according to which the jobs to be deleted are to be selected. Every entry in this list consists of an option of the xpadd -job command with a value assigned to it.
5 Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 This chapter describes the concepts of Xprint V7.0, which you must be familiar with in order to use this product. It describes the objects comprising Xprint V7.0 and provides the basic knowledge you require for administering Xprint V7.0. 5.1 Responsibilities To allow the privileges and tasks within Xprint V7.0 to be clearly delimited, several types of Xprint V7.0 user are distinguished: ● users / Xprint V7.0 users Users, whether registered in the Xprint V7.
Responsibilities Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 A local Xprint V7.0 administrator has the same privileges as the system administrator (see below), except for starting Xprint V7.0 and defining local Xprint V7.0 administrators. ● Xprint V7.0 administrator The Xprint V7.0 administrator has absolute control over the Xprint V7.0 system throughout an entire Xprint V7.0 domain, i.e. over all the systems defined in the Xprint V7.0 database. He/she can administer Xprint V7.
Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 Responsibilities The system administrator of host B can administer all those Xprint V7.0 objects for which host B is defined as the administration host. Similarly, the local Xprint V7.0 administrator of host C can only administer those Xprint V7.0 objects for which host C is defined as the administration host. However, this also means that, for example on a host which is not interconnected with other hosts via a network, Xprint V7.
Xprint V7.0 architecture 5.2 Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 Xprint V7.0 architecture Xprint V7.0 is an object-oriented system consisting of various objects. As an administrator you can define, modify, delete and, if appropriate, activate and deactivate Xprint V7.0 objects. The following figure shows the most important Xprint V7.0 components and how these interact. Figure 10: Xprint V7.0 architecture The client (xpadd command or API function) requests the printing of a job.
Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 5.2.1 Xprint V7.0 architecture The Xprint V7.0 objects The following objects are defined in Xprint V7.0 (the parentheses contain the short name of the Xprint V7.0 objects for use in Xprint V7.0 commands): ● Filters (-flt) Filters have the function of converting the data sent to the printer by the user into the format required by the printer. This makes it possible, for example, to print normal ASCII files on PostScript printers as Xprint V7.
Xprint V7.0 architecture ● Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 Fonts (-fnt) Usually, various fonts are available for printing your documents under Xprint V7.0. These are composed of the following attributes: – typeface (e.g. Courier, Helvetica, Times Roman etc.
Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 Xprint V7.0 architecture Gateways allow you to make a connection from one Xprint V7.0 domain to another Xprint V7.0 domain or to other spooler systems. Via these gateways you can use the printers and printer groups of the other system involved. Gateways to other Xprint V7.0 domains simplify the administration of Xprint V7.0 in very large networks. In this way, the hosts of the entire network can be distributed over different Xprint V7.0 domains (e.g.
Xprint V7.0 architecture Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 assumes its function as the active master. The ranks of the potential masters can be defined by the order of their installation and can later be modified via specific commands. Slave hosts are hosts that hold a complete copy of the Xprint V7.0 database but cannot become the active master host. This is useful, for example, for computers which are shut down frequently, are not very reliable, or which are still using an old Xprint V7.
Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 Xprint V7.0 architecture common printers, and with one generic PCL which in most cases also allows printing on unknown printers. A list of the PCLs supported by Xprint V7.0 is provided in the Reference Manual. As an administrator you can define, modify and delete PCLs. ● Permission lists (-prm) With permission lists, you can define the following privileges under Xprint V7.0: – Which users may/may not use a printer, a printer group or a gateway.
Xprint V7.0 architecture Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 The printers are controlled by a supervisor and assigned tools, called backends. A PCL is assigned to the printer. The process of printing is controlled by a backend using the appropriate printer’s PCL to provide printer details. Xprint V7.0 provides a generalpurpose backend but additional specific backends can be defined by the administrator and incorporated into the Xprint V7.0 system.
Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 Xprint V7.0 architecture paper supply is refilled. By means of a recovery rule you could define a different procedure (to suspend the print job and set the printer to NOT_ACTIVE until the administrator intervenes, for example). You can define, modify and delete recovery rules. ● Servers (-srv) Servers are the Xprint V7.0 objects which administer incoming print jobs and are responsible for scheduling them.
Xprint V7.0 architecture ● Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 The Xprint V7.0 system (-sys) The Xprint V7.0 system refers to all the Xprint V7.0 objects which are combined in a local administrative unit, what is called an Xprint V7.0 domain. Within the Xprint V7.0 system the Xprint V7.0 administrator is allowed to perform all the administrative tasks. The only operations that can be executed for the Xprint V7.0 system are displaying or changing the Xprint V7.
Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 Administrative tasks under Xprint 5.3 Administrative tasks under Xprint Administering Xprint V7.0 involves a number of tasks which must be performed by the administrator. This section gives a general description of the different tasks and describes the basic procedures. For detailed information on administering the individual objects, see the next chapter. 5.3.1 Configuring Xprint V7.0 objects With the xpadd command you can add Xprint V7.
Administrative tasks under Xprint Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 whenever the host is started. Supervisors are activated automatically when Xprint V7.0 is started if a printer they administer was configured with the -aa option. Objects are always activated using the xpchange command (see section “Changing the status of Xprint V7.0 objects” on page 82). 5.3.2 Deleting Xprint V7.0 objects With the xpdel command you can delete Xprint V7.0 objects from the Xprint V7.0 database.

Administrative tasks under Xprint Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 When starting Xprint V7.0, you can also specify whether jobs which were not finished in a previous session are to be retained (setting WARM; default) or deleted (setting COLD). Such a setting is useful, for example, if you shut down your system while there were still print jobs on it with the status ACTIVE or jobs still in the print queue. After a WARM start, these print jobs are processed again. Start Xprint V7.
Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 Administrative tasks under Xprint ● Now specify the name of a host on which Xprint V7.0 is running. Selecting the language For the language interface Xprint V7.0 uses the value of the NLS environment variable LANG. The following language environments are available: Environment definition Language En English De German Table 6: Language environment variables If the environment variable LANG is incorrectly or not at all defined, Xprint V7.
Rules for configuring the system 5.4 Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 Rules for configuring the system This section describes the basic rules which must be observed when configuring the Xprint V7.0 system; it does not cover the actual steps that are required. You should use these guidelines to check the configuration of your Xprint V7.0 system at regular intervals in order to maintain its performance. 5.4.1 Defining an Xprint V7.0 domain The print manager must define the Xprint V7.
Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 5.4.2 Rules for configuring the system Configuring hosts – All UNIX hosts belonging to an Xprint V7.0 domain and on which Xprint V7.0 has been installed must be defined in the Xprint V7.0 configuration. – Every host which is to provide its print services must be defined as POT_MASTER, even if it is the only host in operation. – The hierarchy of potential master hosts should be defined such that the host with the best equipment ranks first.
Rules for configuring the system Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 Servers – A server can control any number of supervisors. In practice, however, three supervisors is a good number. – Where possible the server should be defined on the host of the supervisors. ! Note that in this case the availability of the printers depends exclusively on this particular host.
Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 Rules for configuring the system Initialisation time: before xpadd -dev Possible values: from 1 to 15 Behaviour if unspecified: 15 is used Behaviour if a value larger than 15 is specified: 15 is used Printers – Each printer connected to the Xprint V7.0 system must be defined in the database in order to be accessible. Furthermore the host to which the printer is attached must be defined in the Xprint V7.0 database.
Rules for configuring the system 5.4.4 Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 Configuring gateways Gateways provide interoperability between different Xprint V7.0 domains and between Xprint V7.0 and other spooler systems. There are two types of gateway: The BSD gateways These allow Xprint V7.0 users to access BSD LPD printer servers (e.g. Novell Netware with the BSD LPD emulation Flex/IP) and to share Xprint V7.0 resources with BSD LPD users (e.g. a WPRINT PC user).
Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 Rules for configuring the system servers and for receiving jobs sent from partner systems. Gateways of the type PARTNER represent remote spooler clients as possible job originators for Xprint V7.0 resources or print service providers. Notes on the configuration – Every gateway of the type PARTNER which supports a print protocol must have at least a gateway of the type LOCAL with the same print protocol assigned in the backward-link list (-bl option).
6 Configuring Xprint V7.0 This chapter describes how to configure Xprint V7.0 on your system. It comprises various sections, each dealing with different activities. The following table will help you to quickly find the section you need: If you want to... Read... manage hosts section “Administering hosts” on page 96 add a predefined printer to Xprint section “Configuring predefined printers” V7.
Administering hosts i Configuring Xprint V7.0 Not all the possible options for each command can be described in this chapter but only the most important ones. For more detailed information see the description of the relevant command in the “Xprint V7.0 Reference Manual”. For every command, you can call online help with the -? option. This online help works on two levels: command and option level. If you call help on command level, the general form of this command will be displayed.
Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering hosts may be one of the system administrators of the computers involved. If you, as the Xprint V7.0 administrator, want to introduce Xprint V7.0 into an existing network, you must perform the following tasks in the order given below: – first study the network structure – define a (primary) master host which first manages the Xprint V7.0 database (later you can specify additional computers which are to serve as reserve masters in case the defined master fails).
Administering hosts ● Configuring Xprint V7.0 If the database was not installed in the course of product installation or has failed for any reason, you must initialize it now as follows: /var/spool/Xprint/config/bin/DBinstall -f ● Start the Xprint V7.0 system: xpstart Now define the new Xprint V7.0 administrator if you do not want to perform this task any longer as root on the host now defined as the primary master. In this manual the user ID xprintadm is used as an example ID for the Xprint V7.
Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering hosts As a guideline, experience has shown that there is a practical limit of 50 potential masters/slave hosts in a single domain. If there are too many potential master/slave hosts, it is difficult to keep all the databases updated. If more than 50 hosts are needed then parasite hosts can be defined, or the domain can be divided into a number of smaller domains.
Administering hosts i Configuring Xprint V7.0 If a computer has been set up as a PARASITE host, its supporting host must be running and Xprint V7.0 must be active on it for the PARASITE host to be able to access Xprint V7.0. Both systems must have the same hardware. The administrator must make sure that the supporting host exports the /var/spool/Xprint/config/DB directory to the PARASITE host and enters it in the parasite host’s directory under the same name.
Configuring Xprint V7.0 6.2 Administering hosts (users only) Administering hosts (users only) This section deals with the Xprint V7.0 objects of type host which must first be edited for new computers in an Xprint V7.0 configuration. The following table serves as a guide through this section: If you want to... Read.... configure a local host which is not connected to other systems in a network section “Configuring Xprint V7.0 on a stand-alone system” on page 101 introduce Xprint V7.
Administering hosts (users only) Configuring Xprint V7.0 ● Log in to your system as root. ● If required, set up a separate user ID for the Xprint V7.0 administrator. ● Define the Xprint V7.0 administrator him-/herself with the following commands: xpadd -usr xprintadm xpmod -sys -ad xprintadm where xprintadm (-ad stands for administrator) represents the user ID of the user who is to be the Xprint V7.0 administrator.
Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering hosts (users only) To rename a host computer, proceed as follows: ● Log in to the system as the system administrator (root). ● Stop the Xprint V7.0 system: xpstop ● Rename the host: xppatch -hostname oldname newname [-dg n] oldname is the host name to be changed, newname is the name that is to replace oldname. The -dg n option allows you to control the error message output of the xppatch command.
Administering hosts (users only) Configuring Xprint V7.0 This section of the chapter deals with the first three items in this list. How to configure the other computers and printers in the network is described in separate sections later in this chapter. Determining the network structure So that Xprint V7.0 can be introduced into an existing network without problems, you must study the network structure before configuring Xprint V7.0.
Configuring Xprint V7.0 ● Administering hosts (users only) Add the user xprintadm to the Xprint V7.0 configuration: xpadd -usr xprintadm ● Modify the Xprint V7.0 configuration such that xprintadm becomes the new Xprint V7.0 administrator: xpmod -sys -ad xprintadm Once you have performed these steps, you, as the Xprint V7.0 administrator, can configure printers and other Xprint V7.0 objects on the host. Configuring the other hosts Configure all the other hosts as described in the following section. 6.
Administering hosts (users only) Configuring Xprint V7.0 If you divide the original domain into several smaller domains, printers that are now in a different domain can be accessed by prefixing their names with a gateway name. If the devices must be accessed with the same name from every host, independently of which host they belong to, then this can be achieved by replicating the definition of the network devices in each domain.
Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering hosts (users only) You can also specify additional options which above all affect the host hierarchy and which might depend on the network structure (see the description of the command xpadd -hos in the “Xprint V7.0 - Reference Manual”). ● If the Xprint V7.0 administrator is also to manage Xprint V7.0 from other hosts, use the following command: xpmod -usr xprintadm -ho+ host_names For host_names you specify all hosts on which the administrator is to be known.
Predefined printers 6.3 Configuring Xprint V7.0 Predefined printers Xprint V7.0 allows you to configure a set of predefined printers quickly and easily. This section describes how to add such printers to the system. Xprint V7.0 provides a special command for this purpose: xpconf_dev. With this command you can configure a printer defined in the /var/spool/Xprint/config/data/conf_dev file with the default parameters. This file contains a list of printers which can also be extended individually.
Configuring Xprint V7.0 6.3.1 Predefined printers Configuring predefined printers The xpconf_dev command provides a quick and easy method of adding a predefined printer: Xprint V7.0 automatically selects the suitable emulation for the specified printer model and it suggests a default configuration which you only need to adjust, if necessary.
Predefined printers ● Confirm again with "Enter". ● Next you must specify a printer address: Configuring Xprint V7.0 Please give a device address. Type device address, ’q’ to quit or ’?’ for help : Here you must specify to which port the printer is attached.
Configuring Xprint V7.0 Predefined printers When you have performed these steps, Xprint V7.
Predefined printers 6.3.2 Configuring Xprint V7.0 Extending the list of predefined printers If you need to configure a non-predefined printer type frequently in Xprint V7.0, you can enter this printer type in the /var/spool/Xprint/config/data/conf_dev file with the corresponding default values. This allows you to configure printers of this type with the xpconf_dev command. By default you require system administrator privileges to be able to edit this file.
Configuring Xprint V7.0 Predefined printers Field Meaning 6 Significant bits - for a connection via a serial interface, the number of bits for transferring a character is specified here. Possible values are 7 and 8. 7 Protocol - for a connection via a serial interface, the handshake protocol for the connection is specified here. Possible values are XON, ETX and RXON 8 Polling - this field specifies whether polling is enabled or not. Possible values are Y (yes) and N (no).
Administering devices 6.4 Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering devices This section describes all the steps required for configuring and modifying printers. It presents simple procedures which allow you to quickly configure standard situations without referring to the Reference Manual.

Administering devices 6.4.1 Configuring Xprint V7.0 Adding a printer If your system has a printer attached, this printer must be managed by a local supervisor, which itself must be controlled by a server in the network. You can use a default supervisor, an existing defined supervisor or you can define a new one. If you define a new supervisor, you can assign it to any existing server in the network or define a separate new server for it or use a predefined default server.
Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering devices Configuring printers ● First use the checklist in the Appendix on page 263 to check if all the required preparatory steps for adding printers have been taken or if you want to use any of the further configuration options mentioned there (forms, filters, permission lists, etc.).
Administering devices Configuring Xprint V7.0 Once you have connected and configured a new printer, you must activate it. ● Activate the printer by entering the following command: xpchange -dev printer_name You can also use the -aa option (for automatic activation) of the xpadd -dev command, in which case the printer is available immediately after xpstart is executed. 6.4.2 Deactivating a printer To deactivate a printer, use the xpchange -dev command.
Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering devices Deactivating spoolin You can deactivate a printer, but still have it print the print jobs waiting in the print queue. To do this set its spoolin status to OFF. In this case all print jobs which have the status ACTIVE or WAIT are still printed; however, at the same time you lock the spoolin of new print jobs with this command. ● Use the following command: xpchange -dev [selection] -si OFF [-ju justification] The -si option stands for spoolin.
Administering devices 6.4.3 Configuring Xprint V7.0 Reactivating a printer To be able to submit print jobs for a printer or start printing, you must first activate the printer.
Configuring Xprint V7.0 6.4.4 Administering devices Removing a printer To remove a defined printer because it is no longer available on your system, use the following procedure: ● Log in as root or, if defined, as the Xprint V7.0 administrator. ● Check first whether the printer you wish to delete is referenced by other Xprint V7.0 objects. If so, these references must be removed.
Administering devices 6.4.5 Configuring Xprint V7.0 Reconnecting a printer to another system To move a printer from one system to another, use the following procedure: ● Deactivate the relevant printer: xpchange -dev printer_name -st NOT_ACTIVE where printer_name represents the name of the printer to be reconnected.
Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering devices number apply for a LAN printer (e.g.: "132.82.127.34 9100", as the Internet address for your LAN printer). Instead of the Internet address and port number you can also specify the host name provided it is defined in the /etc/hosts file. If the connection type changes (e.g. up to now the first serial port; now the second parallel port), you must also specify with type the new connection type your printer will use.
Administering devices Configuring Xprint V7.0 Example – The old printer printer1 used the PCL HP_LASERJET but the new printer is a PostScript printer: xpmod -dev printer1 -pc POSTSCRIPT -ct- The -ct- option makes sure that the data format of the printer is adjusted to the default, which depends on the PCL. i You can only modify a PCL assigned to a printer if all the other printer options are compatible. Example: A printer is defined via -pc HP_LASERJET and the default form LANDSCAPE (-ls LANDSCAPE).
Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering devices If selection is not specified, the command refers to all the printers in the Xprint V7.0 system. Otherwise you can either specify the name(s) of the printers to which you want to assign a security level, or you can use the -scl “selection_criteria_list” option (see section “Selection criteria list” on page 266 in the Appendix) to define a list of criteria according to which the relevant printers are selected.
Administering printer groups 6.5 Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering printer groups Under Xprint V7.0 you can set up printer groups to speed up the output of print jobs. If a print job is submitted for a printer group, the job is printed on the first printer to become available in the printer group. This section describes the possible steps required for configuring printer groups. The following table serves as a guide through this section: If you want to... Read...
Configuring Xprint V7.0 6.5.1 Administering printer groups Setting up a new printer group There are two possible ways of setting up new printer groups: you can either define a completely new printer group or you can copy an existing one and modify it. Setting up a completely new printer group ● Set up a new printer group with the following command: xpadd -dgr group_name -dl device_list With group_name you assign the new group a name.
Administering printer groups Configuring Xprint V7.0 Copying a printer group If you want to set up a printer group which is very similar to an existing one, you can also copy the existing printer group and modify the copied group according to your requirements. The new printer group is set up on the host on which the xpcopy -dgr command is executed; this is not true if you have specified a different host with the -ah (administration host) option.
Configuring Xprint V7.0 6.5.2 Administering printer groups Adding a printer to a printer group If you want to add a printer to a printer group, this printer must already be configured in the spooler system. If this is not the case, you must add the printer with the xpadd -dev command; for more detailed information on this, see the section “Adding a printer” on page 116.
Administering printer groups 6.5.4 Configuring Xprint V7.0 Deactivating a printer group To deactivate a printer group, use the xpchange -dgr command. You can only change the current spoolin status of the printer groups you manage. ● Use the following command to deactivate a printer group: xpchange -dgr [selection] -si OFF [-ju justification] If selection is not specified, the command refers to all the printer groups in the Xprint V7.0 system.
Configuring Xprint V7.0 6.5.5 Administering printer groups Reactivating a printer group To be able to assign print jobs to a printer group, the spoolin status of this printer group must be set to ON. ● To activate a printer group, use the following command: xpchange -dgr [selection] [-si ON] [-ju justification] If selection is not specified, the command refers to all the printer groups in the Xprint V7.0 system.
Administering printer groups 6.5.6 Configuring Xprint V7.0 Deleting a printer group The xpdel -dgr command allows you to delete any printer group you can access. In this case, the individual printers of the printer group are not deleted. ● Check first whether the printer group you wish to delete is referenced by other Xprint V7.0 objects: xpshow -dgr [selection]printer_group -diR With printer_group, you specify exactly one printer group to be deleted.
Configuring Xprint V7.0 6.6 Administering users Administering users This section describes the possible ways of administering various users in the Xprint V7.0 system. The following table serves as a guide to this section: If you want to... Read... define a user locally or globally for the section “Defining a user” on page 133 entire Xprint V7.
Administering users Configuring Xprint V7.0 These users do not have to be registered as SINIX users on the specified hosts. If the -ho option is not specified, only the local host is added to the list. Examples – To add user smith locally to the Xprint V7.0 system: xpadd -usr smith – The Xprint V7.0 administrator enters the following command on a spooler system with the hosts colorado, nashua and hudson: xpadd -usr smith -ho colorado nashua smith is now an Xprint V7.
Configuring Xprint V7.0 6.6.3 Administering users Deleting a host from a user’s host list If a defined user is no longer to be able to access his/her print jobs from a specific host, e.g. because there is now another user with the same user ID on this host, you can delete this host from the list. ● Delete the host from the user’s host list with the following command: xpmod -usr [selection] -ho- host If selection is not specified, the command refers to all the users in the Xprint V7.0 system.
Administering users Configuring Xprint V7.0 “selection_criteria_list” option (see section “Selection criteria list” on page 266 in the Appendix) to define a list of criteria according to which the relevant users are selected. For modifications you can specify any combination of the following options: – With the option -pv privileges you assign specific privileges to a user. Possible categories are: ALL the user is given all privileges. NONE (default) the user is granted no privileges.
Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering users – With the option -sl security_level you can define the maximum security level with which a user can submit print jobs. The following values are allowed: UNCLASSIFIED (default), SENSITIVE, CONFIDENTIAL, SECRET, TOP_SECRET.

Configuring Xprint V7.0 6.7 Administering permission lists Administering permission lists Xprint V7.0 offers various means of ensuring the security of the data to be printed. These include creating permission lists for printers, printer groups and forms, which restrict or deny use of the relevant object to the specified names. Permission lists also allow other users restricted administration of supervisors for a specific server.
Administering permission lists 6.7.1 Configuring Xprint V7.0 Creating a permission list If you want to create a new permission list you have two options: you can either create a new permission list from scratch or you can copy an existing one and modify it. Creating a new permission list To create a new permission list, proceed as follows: ● Log in as the Xprint V7.0 administrator.
Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering permission lists If you want to create a list of forms, you must additionally specify the option -pt FORM (pt = permission type). comment is an optional comment describing the permission list. Comments can make using these permission lists later much easier. If a comment contains blanks it must be enclosed in double quotes.
Administering permission lists 6.7.2 Configuring Xprint V7.0 Modifying a permission list You can modify a permission list by adding new entries to it or removing entries from it. Adding entries to the list To add new entries to a permission list, proceed as follows: ● Log in as the Xprint V7.0 administrator. ● Add an entry to the list with the following command: xpmod -prm list_name additions where list_name is the name of the permission list to be modified.

Administering servers Configuring Xprint V7.0 Procedure There are two possible ways of adding a server to the system: you can either add a completely new server to the system with the xpadd -srv command, or you can copy an existing server with the xpcopy -srv command and then modify the relevant attributes. If you want to allow administrators of other hosts to assign supervisors to a new server, you must define a corresponding permission list.
Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering servers Note that Xprint V7.0 creates a default server when you define a new supervisor without specifying an associated server (xpadd -spv -se). Similarly, a default server is created when you add a new printer without specifying a supervisor (xpadd -dev -su). This default server is then assigned the name of the supervisor or printer. It is only created if it does not yet exist in the system.
Administering servers Configuring Xprint V7.0 – To add a new server nashua on the remote host colorado: xpadd -srv nashua -ho colorado xpchange -srv nashua -st ACTIVE – To add the new server delaware based on server nashua on the remote host nile, and to specify that the new server delaware is to process the biggest print jobs first: xpcopy -srv nashua delaware -ho nile -sp BIG xpchange -srv delaware -st ACTIVE 6.15.

7 Interoperability This chapter describes how you can interact with other spooler systems. 7.1 Introduction Xprint V7.0 allows you to interact with other spooler systems. The following figure illustrates the various possibilities: Figure 12: Interoperation with other spooler systems This means that you can make the printers in remote Xprint V7.0 systems also available to users of the local Xprint V7.0 domain and, vice versa, the printers of the local Xprint V7.
Introduction Interoperability Xprint V7.0 can assume the role of a client that uses the print services of the other spooler system involved, or the role of a server that makes its printers available to other systems. In the previous figure this is illustrated by two arrows from and to the other spooler system. If the arrows are of different colors, there are two possible ways of interoperation which depend on the software used.
Interoperability 7.2 Accessing BSD printers Accessing BSD printers This section describes how you can allow access to the printers of a BSD spooler from within Xprint V7.0 via the fast filter bsd. 7.2.1 Basic information You can allow users of the local Xprint V7.0 domain access to BSD printers which meet the following requirements: – the printers are defined on a computer with a BSD printer spooler (e.g. a BSD system, Novell Netware®, Windows NT® Servers, Windows 2000® Servers, LINUX etc.
Accessing BSD printers Interoperability Figure 13: Accessing BSD printers To establish the connection to a BSD printer, you must configure a pseudo printer on one system in your Xprint V7.0 domain which the Xprint V7.0 users can specify as the target for their print jobs and which forwards the print jobs it receives to the BSD printer by using the fast filter bsd for printing.
Interoperability ● Accessing BSD printers Make sure the fast filter bsd is already configured: xpshow -flt If the filter bsd is not displayed, you must first add it to the system (the filter is supplied with Xprint V7.0).
Accessing BSD printers Interoperability xpadd -dev BSD_PS -da /var/tmp/PS1 -fl bsd \ -ca "queue=PS1 host=host3" -pc POSTSCRIPT -aa Troubleshooting If your print jobs are rejected by the remote system, add "--compatible" in the comment field. This is necessary if the remote system is an ATT lp spooler.
Interoperability 7.3 Gateways Gateways Gateways allow access to various other spooler systems: to other Xprint V7.0 domains, to systems with BSD spoolers and to BS2000 systems on which the DPRINT spooler is installed. This section describes the characteristics of gateways and how they are configured. 7.3.1 Gateway characteristics Gateways allow the bidirectional connection of an Xprint V7.0 domain with: – other Xprint V7.0 domains – lpd spoolers in BSD-UNIX systems (e.g.
Gateways Interoperability To configure a gateway, you must first define the host of the local Xprint V7.0 domain that is to be used as the gateway to the other printer spooler. For this purpose, you can use any host in the local Xprint V7.0 domain which has access to the physical connection to the target system. This host must be reliable, robust and fail-safe as the connection to the other printer spooler should always be available. First, a local gateway object is defined for this host.
Interoperability Gateways The following figure shows the basic structure of such a gateway connection and the possibilities it offers: Figure 14: Structure of a gateway connection Requirements Configuring a gateway to a BSD spooler in a remote system requires that an LPD spooler be active on the remote host to which the gateway connection is established.
Gateways Interoperability Defining the local gateway The local gateway is defined as follows on a host which, if possible, should have a constant connection to the BSD spooler to which the connection is to be established: xpadd -gtw local_gw -tp LOCAL -ho local_host -ga 515 \ -np TCP -pp BSD [-aa] [-op option_list] This command configures a local gateway named local_gw which administers the physical connection to the BSD system.
Interoperability Gateways “GTW_START_PAGE=YES/NO" provides a way to enforce ("YES") or suppress ("NO") the header page. “GTW_SEPARATOR_PAGE=YES/NO" provides a way to enforce ("YES") or suppress ("NO") the separator sheet. “GTW_END_PAGE=YES/NO" provides a way to enforce ("YES") or suppress ("NO") the trailer page. Other interesting options are described in the Reference Manual.
Gateways Interoperability The partner gateway must be assigned with the -bl local_gw option to the local gateway administering the physical connection. local_gw can be an individual gateway or a list of local gateways. In the latter case, the first active gateway in the list is used to send a request to the partner gateway. The option -np TCP defines that the TCP/IP protocol is used. No other protocol can be specified. In addition, the print protocol must be selected with the -pp BSD option.
Interoperability Gateways In this case only the value ALL needs to be specified with the -ag option. Therefore, the + character is not specified after the -ag option in the example above. i Please note that when the option -ag ALL is used, any partner gateway added is automatically given the permission to contact the local gateway. Activating the gateway connection To be able to print via the gateways, the corresponding local gateway must be activated.
Gateways Interoperability Figure 15: Gateway connection to another printer domain Defining the local gateway The local gateway is defined as follows on a host which, if possible, should have a constant connection to the other Xprint V7.0 domain to which the connection is to be established: xpadd -gtw local_gw -tp LOCAL -ho local_host \ -ga gtw_port -np TCP -pp GIP2 [-aa] This command configures a local gateway named local_gw which administers the physical connection to the other Xprint V7.0 domain.
Interoperability Gateways The option -ga gtw_port specifies which TCP/IP port number is to be used. The default is 9999. i The port number is very important as no two gateways with the same port number can run on a system at any one time. The option -np TCP defines that the TCP/IP protocol is used. No other protocol can be specified. For the connection to other Xprint V7.0 domains the print protocol must be selected with the option -pp GIP2.
Gateways Interoperability Allowing print jobs to be submitted by users of the other Xprint V7.0 domain If you want to allow users of the other Xprint V7.0 domain to submit print jobs for local printers via the gateway, the partner gateway must be defined as an allowed gateway at the local gateway. To do this, use the following command: xpmod -gtw local_gw -ag+ spool_partner With this command, the partner gateway spool_partner is assigned to the local gateway local_gw as an allowed gateway.
Interoperability Gateways Example To configure a gateway connection from the local host hudson to host purple of another Xprint V7.0 domain: xpadd -gtw GTW_hudson -tp LOCAL -ho hudson -np TCP \ -pp GIP2 - ga 5300 -aa xpadd -gtw GTW_purple -tp PARTNER -ho purple -ga 5300 \ -bl GTW_hudson -np TCP -pp GIP2 xpmod -gtw GTW_hudson -ag GTW_purple xpchange -gtw GTW_hudson 7.3.5 Gateways to DPRINT spoolers Gateways to DPRINT spoolers allow the users of the local Xprint V7.
Gateways Interoperability Requirements If a gateway to a DPRINT spooler in a BS2000 system is to be configured, the software openFT must be installed on the host for which the local gateway is to be configured. For the openFT root user, OBS, IBR and IBP must be set to the value 100 (see openFT command ftmoda). Defining the local gateway If a local gateway to another Xprint V7.
Interoperability Gateways This command configures a partner gateway named dprint_partner which administers the logical connection to a special DPRINT spooler. For dprint_partner any name can be used; it does make sense, however, to use a name which indicates to which DPRINT spooler the gateway is configured. With the option -oh dprint_host you specify the name of the remote host on which the gateway to the DPRINT spooler is configured.
Gateways Interoperability Restrictions of gateways to DPRINT spoolers Wildcards (* or ?) are not allowed but you can specify xpshow -dev dprint_gateway! without a printer name and xpshow -dgr dprint_gateway! without a printer group name. In this case all corresponding resources are displayed. If information on a printer of a DPRINT spooler is displayed, you should be aware that some of the requested items of information are not supported by the DPRINT spooler.

Interoperability 7.4.2 Administering gateways Deleting a gateway connection A gateway connection that is no longer needed, for example because the remote partner computer no longer exists, can be deleted. If you only want to stop the use of a gateway connection temporarily, you can deactivate it completely or only in one direction (see section “Deactivating a gateway” on page 230). i A gateway can only be deleted by the Xprint V7.0 administrator. You must first log in accordingly.

Interoperability Administering gateways Deactivating a local gateway completely ● Use the following command to completely deactivate a gateway: xpchange -gtw gateway -st NOT_ACTIVE where gateway is the local gateway to be deactivated. This deactivates the connections to all remote partner gateways connected to the local gateway. The option -st NOT_ACTIVE may be abbreviated to -stN. Once the gateway is deactivated, you can modify or delete it. Deactivating the export of jobs from the local Xprint V7.
Administering gateways 7.4.4 Interoperability Activating a gateway Three points are important for activating a gateway: – Activation of the local gateway itself. Only an active gateway can be used by local and remote users. – Setting up a backward link from a partner gateway to the local gateway. A connection between two gateways requires such a backward link. – Allowing a partner gateway access.
Interoperability 7.4.5 Administering gateways Obtaining information on a gateway As an administrator, you can display the status and the definition of local or partner gateways. Displaying the definition of gateways ● Information on the definition of gateways can be obtained with the following command: xpshow -gtw [selection] [-di display] If selection is not specified, the command refers to all the gateways in the local Xprint V7.0 system.
8 Installing Xprint V7.0 This chapter describes how to install and configure Xprint V7.0 on a system. 8.1 Considerations Before installing Xprint V7.0 you should define the individual parameters of the spooler configuration. If you are not familiar with Xprint V7.0, you should first read the chapter “Introduction to Xprint V7.0” starting on page 5 to get acquainted with the concepts of Xprint V7.0 and to understand the basic terms used in this section.
Setting the language for the Xprint V7.0 system Installing Xprint V7.0 To configure a network of type TCP/IP you only need to add an entry to the file /etc/services on each host in the network. This entry must have the identifier Xprint V7.0_db; the connection number must be the same on all hosts: Xprint V7.0_db 5999/tcp # Xprint V7.0 service , the distributed print The files /etc/hosts and /etc/services should at least have the access rights -r--r--r--; otherwise Xprint V7.0 might not run smoothly. 8.
Installing Xprint V7.0 8.4 Installation (new) Installation (new) Xprint V7.0 is delivered on a data medium (CD-ROM or magnetic tape cartridge) which contains several packages. Depending on the platform, two installation procedures are possible: pkgadd and cpio.
Installation (new) 8.4.1 Installing Xprint V7.0 Installing with cpio To install Xprint V7.0, you require a minimum of 15 megabytes free storage space. Also, the Xprint V7.0 database requires additional storage space the size of which directly depends on the contents of the database (the number of servers, printers, PCLs etc.). To install the Xprint V7.
Installing Xprint V7.0 8.4.3 Installation (new) Installing with sd method After inserting the media in the correct device, enter the following command and just follow the guided dialogue: swinstall In case of migration from earlier version, it is suggested to take a backup of the current DB before starting the installation.
Installation (new) Installing Xprint V7.0 Initializing the Xprint V7.0 database To be able to work correctly, Xprint V7.0 requires a database. This database can be initialized automatically as part of the Xprint V7.0 installation process. The user is asked whether he/she wants a database to be installed or not. If the user responds with yes, he/she will be asked whether the database is to be installed in any case or only if an already existing database has been found to be defective.
Installing Xprint V7.0 8.5 Installation (users only) Installation (users only) Xprint V7.0 is delivered on a data medium (CD-ROM, magnetic tape cartridge) which contains several packages. These packages are installed with the pkgadd command.
Installation (users only) 8.5.1 Installing Xprint V7.0 Installation with pkgadd The pkgadd command provides a menu-driven installation procedure; you only need to follow the instructions or select one of the options offered by the program. Start the installation with the following command: pkgadd -d device_name represents the identifier of the device from which you install the software, i.e. the identifier of the magnetic tape drive. To install Xprint V7.
Installing Xprint V7.0 8.5.2 Installation (users only) Product licensing The execution and some features of Xprint V7.0 are protected by a license key. When you have installed Xprint V7.0 you can use its full functionality without a key for an evaluation period. At the end of this period, Xprint V7.0 will become unusable unless a valid key has been installed. 8.5.3 Types of licenses Different types of licenses can be supplied, depending on the Xprint V7.
Installation (users only) Installing Xprint V7.0 devices in a domain is basically limited to 32, independently of the number of Net Clients and Net Servers. This limit can be increased with device upgrade licenses. Device upgrade licenses These licenses can be installed to increase the number of devices that can be configured in Xprint V7.0. Without printer upgrade license, a host with Xprint V7.0 Local is limited to two devices, while a domain is limited to 32 devices.
Installing Xprint V7.0 8.5.4 Installation (users only) Installing a license key Where to install a license key Basic license keys and extra feature keys need to be installed on every host where Xprint V7.0 functions are to be enabled. Device upgrade licenses and site licenses are global to a domain: only one such key has to be installed in a domain. One key may cover several features, including the maximum number of devices. But if several keys are found on a host, Xprint V7.
Installation (users only) Installing Xprint V7.0 Example 2 A site license needs to be installed only once in an Xprint V7.0 domain. It is propagated throughout the domain by Xprint V7.0’s internal mechanisms. Host B Host C Site NeT Server Net Server + SAP Host A 256 devices Host D A site license is available on B, which offers Net Server. This privilege is given to all the hosts in the domain. No keys are thus needed on A, C and D. If keys are found locally while a site key is active, Xprint V7.
Installing Xprint V7.0 Installation (users only) The license string must be on first column of first line of the file. The string in some cases may be on two lines each ended with the ’:’ character. Example: mkdir chmod cat > JG he ^D chmod /etc/.OSL_LICENCE 0555 /etc/.OSL_LICENCE /etc/.OSL_LICENCE/ DPM.0998 iM X3 Ln Fs PM g1 Th FH Gj Dq 0L gf: 0555 /etc/.OSL_LICENCE/DPM.
9 Xprint V7.0 for Windows 9.1 Approach Xprint V7.0 for Windows is the port of Xprint V7.0 (UNIX) to the Windows Server platform. It brings the rich functionality of Xprint V7.0 as a print server to the PC world and co-exists amiably with the native Windows spooler. Xprint V7.0 on Windows is not a complete rewrite of Xprint V7.0. It is delivered with a run-time environment that allows UNIX applications to run on Windows NT or Windows 2000. Only the graphical Xprint V7.
Requirements 9.2 Xprint V7.0 for Windows Requirements Xprint V7.0 is designed to run on Windows NT Server 4.0, Windows 2000 Server or on Windows 2000 Advanced Server for Intel processors, and compatible platforms. We do not recommend you to run Xprint V7.0 on Windows NT Workstation or Windows 2000 Professional. The intrinsic restrictions on the number of connections that can be simultaneously open on these operating systems cause Xprint V7.0 to be relatively unstable. 9.3 Differences from Xprint V7.
Xprint V7.0 for Windows Differences from Xprint V7.0/UNIX You need a license key to use Xprint V7.0. If this key is available to you at installation time you can introduce it during the setup. Otherwise, Xprint V7.0 will run with the full functionality during a limited period, giving you sufficient time to get an official license key. If the product has already been installed you can introduce the definitive key or an upgrade key using the command xpkey -i, which is described in the Reference Manual. 9.
Differences from Xprint V7.0/UNIX 9.3.3 Xprint V7.0 for Windows Start-up and shutdown Xprint V7.0 appears as a Windows service, which can be controlled from the Control Panel. The default start-up mode is automatic, meaning that Xprint V7.0 is started and stopped at system boot-up and shutdown respectively. To start and stop Xprint V7.0, the administrator can either use the xpstart /xpstop commands or operate the service from the Windows Control Panel. 9.3.
Xprint V7.0 for Windows Differences from Xprint V7.0/UNIX One special situation that must be described in more detail is the case where root is configured as Xprint V7.0 administrator (which is the default after installation). The mapping of the Windows members of the Administrators group to the UNIX root user when root is configured as Xprint V7.0 administrator means that any member of this group is recognized as Xprint V7.0 administrator.
Differences from Xprint V7.0/UNIX Xprint V7.0 for Windows Under Windows, the printer must be shared in a way that allows the operation Print for the account System of the Windows station where Xprint V7.0 runs. Directly attached printers (serial or parallel connection) Xprint V7.0 for Windows is able to print to devices connected to the local ports of the computer. The device address must be the path to the corresponding Windows reserved file.
Xprint V7.0 for Windows Differences from Xprint V7.0/UNIX Be careful, the minimal version of openFT supported is the 6.0C00 and this product must be installed in "multi-user" mode. To configure the openFT product and GIP2 gateways please refer to the manuals of this product. The specific Windows operations to be performed are the following ones: Concerning openFT: - a password must be provided to openFT in order to enable the asynchroneous file transfers.
Differences from Xprint V7.0/UNIX Xprint V7.0 for Windows 2. To deal with encrypted files without using the -cp option, Xprint V7.0 has to impersonate a privileged user before accessing encrypted files. The xpsetuser command can be used to store in a file privileged users accounts and passwords that Xprint V7.0 will use later to gain access to the encrypted data. Two different kinds of accounts can be stored: – Personal user accounts can be stored by all users in a Xprint V7.0 data file.
Xprint V7.0 for Windows Limitations and restrictions – The user “supervisor” can print the files d:\bills\april.prt and d:\bills\june.prt. – The user “revisor” can print the files d:\bills\july.prt and d:\bills\june.prt. See reference guide for a complete description of xpsetuser command. Migrated files Migrated files are located on removable storage media.
10 Appendix This Appendix contains various informative sections, tables and worksheets for configuring and using Xprint V7.0.
Worksheet Appendix Worksheet Host name Location Disk capacity (MB) Free capacity (%) Copy of database/host type Yes No Connected printers Type Name Port type Device address Supervisor name Supervisors used Name Server name Host name Figure 19: Worksheet 260 U23841-J-Z915-6-76
Appendix Worksheet Filling out the worksheet You should fill out a separate worksheet for every host in the network that is to use the distributed spooler system. First enter the name of the relevant host in the network in the top left field “Host name”. The computer will later be entered as an Xprint V7.0 host under this name. In the field to the right of it you can enter the location of the computer for your reference.
Worksheet Appendix For “Port type” you have four options: SERIAL if the printer is connected to a serial port of the computer PARALLEL if the printer is connected to a parallel port of the computer LAN if the printer is a LAN printer that is directly integrated in the network. In this case, the printer is not directly connected to a computer, but Xprint V7.0 requires that it be monitored from one of the computers involved. LAN printers also have an Internet address and a port number.
Appendix Checklist for adding a printer When you have entered all the given data in the worksheet, you can fill out the other fields concerning printers (“Name” and “Supervisor name”). It makes sense to have the Xprint V7.0 administrator assign these globally to make sure that the names are unique within the Xprint V7.0 network. You can choose any name you wish, but every printer must be given a unique name.
Checklist for adding a printer Appendix Questions 1 Has the address of the new printer been defined in the system? 2 If you do not want to use the default supervisor: does the supervisor of the new printer already exist on the host on which the printer is to be added? If this is not the case, first set up the supervisor and then add the printer.
Appendix Checklist for adding a printer system. For information on adding a font, see the section “Administering fonts” on page 152. 9 Is the printer to use a specific set of recovery rules for error recovery? In this case make sure that a suitable object is available in the Xprint V7.0 system. The section “Administering recovery rules” on page 186 contains detailed information on creating and setting up recovery rules.
Selection criteria lists Appendix Selection criteria list General requirements In many cases you will directly enter specific names for your operations. However, there may be times when you will want to apply changes, for example, to several users with the same privileges, or you might not know the exact name. In such cases you can use specific criteria to select all the objects corresponding to these criteria.
Appendix Selection criteria lists Example The following command deletes all the devices with the XON protocol: xpdel -dev -scl "-po XON" Special cases This section describes all the xpadd options which are not available as criteria or which are available additionally. All objects Except with -job, -hos and -usr, you can additionally use the option -ad. This option is used to select the objects which are assigned to an existing administrator.
SNMP Agent Appendix – You can use the -ik option to select jobs with a specific status by means of a keyword (e.g. NOT_ACTIVE) (see xpstat -job) – The options -jt, -te and -sx cannot be used for job selection. Supervisors With the -st option you can select supervisors with a specific status; possible values are ACTIVE or NOT_ACTIVE. Servers – With the -st option you can select servers with a specific status; possible values are ACTIVE, NOT_ACTIVE or SHUTDOWN.
Appendix SNMP Agent The Xprint V7.0 objects supported by the SNMP agent are hosts, devices, device groups, servers, supervisors, gateways and jobs. For each of these objects, there is a table in the Xprint V7.0 MIB. These tables contain all the attributes displayed by the xpshow and xpstat commands for the corresponding objects. The description of each attribute can be found in the comments of the MIB file. The MIB file (Xprint V7.0-MIB.txt) is installed in the SNMP subdirectory of the Xprint V7.
Axis box support Appendix – XP_SNMP_SYNC_TIME: Validity period for the SNMP agent copy of the Xprint V7.0 information. Any access to Xprint V7.0 agent after this time will enforce a resynchronization of the SNMP agent copy with the "Cache Area". The value must be number expressing the time in seconds. The default value is "10" (10 seconds). The value "0" means that the resynchronization with the "Cache" information occurs at each SNMP access. The installation aspects are detailed in the release notice.
Appendix Fax and mail support Fax and mail support Xprint V7.0 fax and mail support is available on the Unix platforms. The fax/mail software supported by Xprint V7.0 as well as the versions and the platforms on which the fax/mail solution is certified are given in the following. Even if not listed, other versions or platforms may be compatible with Xprint V7.0 . VSI-FAX version 3.5.2 on SCO UNIX Optio FaxFX version 2.54 on SCO UNIX TOPCALL version 3.0 runs on Windows NT. The TOPCALL support in Xprint V7.
Glossary Backend This is a driver program responsible for controlling printers. In addition, it is responsible for error recovery and printer status information. Character set The letters, digits, punctuation marks and symbols available for a font. Direct printing Under Xprint V7.0 you do not necessarily have to place a print job in the print queue. You can also send a print job directly to a printer; in this case, however, the job cannot be modified after submission.
Glossary Gateway Gateways are Xprint V7.0 objects which allow the connection of an Xprint V7.0 domain with different systems (other Xprint V7.0 domains, BSD-UNIX systems, etc. Jobs can be exported as well as imported via gateways. There may be several gateways running simultaneously on one host. HOME directory This is the directory in which a user is located after logging in to the Outputware system. Host This is the central computer to which the terminals and printers of the users are connected.
Glossary Master host A master host holds the master copy of the Xprint V7.0 database. When Xprint V7.0 is introduced in a network, the first computer on which Xprint V7.0 is installed and started assumes the role of the active master host. If Xprint V7.0 is terminated on the active master, the next potential master host in what is called the host hierarchy assumes its function as active master host.
Glossary Permission list Permission lists are Xprint V7.0 objects, in which access rights for other objects are defined. There are permission lists for users (USER) and forms (FORM) and Xprint V7.0 distinguishes two types of permission list: allowed lists and denied lists. The former comprise lists of users (or forms) that are allowed to access specific objects, e.g. printers (or which may be used on the printers to which the list is assigned, respectively).
Glossary Raw mode When a print job is spooled in in raw mode, Xprint V7.0 sends this file to the specified printer without any formatting or processing by a filter. Recovery rule Recovery rules are used to define the error recovery procedure in the case of specific printer conditions. SCSI driver The SCSI peripheral driver communicates with the SCSI host adapter server instead of directly with the hardware.
Glossary SNMP agent The Simple Network Management Protocol, abbreviated SNMP, is the Internet standard protocol for exchanging management information between management console applications and managed entities. SNMP uses a distributed architecture consisting of managers and agents. An agent is an SNMP application that responds to queries from SNMP manager applications.
