Rules for configuring the system Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0
5.4 Rules for configuring the system
This section describes the basic rules which must be observed when config-
uring 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 V7.0 domain with respect to
– the resources to be shared,
– the number of hosts,
– and some administration criteria.
Creating an Xprint V7.0 domain is always a compromise between
– the maximum number of hosts administered to provide a maximum of
print resources,
– the assignment of administrative tasks concerning print resources to a
person or association (e.g. resource locations, company strategy)
– and a high number of hosts which might slow Xprint V7.0 down, so that
there might be, say, a relatively long period of time between the
submission and execution of a print job.
