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.
– Access to systems via the BSD LPD protocol is effected from one or more
pseudo-printers in Xprint V7.0 by means of the fast filter bsd. Another
possible way of accessing the printers directly is via the BSD gateway. The
main difference between these two methods is the fact that in the case of the
fast filter bsd the document is formatted (e.g. font, paper layup), while print
jobs sent via the gateway are not converted.
– Access to printers via the network address is effected from one or more
Xprint V7.0 devices which have LAN defined as the connection type in their
device definition. As any host can be specified, you are advised to use the
host with the best availability. If a network printer is of importance, you can
define several logical printers on different hosts in the Xprint V7.0 system
which all have the same address. The advantage of this is that the printer is
already available when just one of the hosts is in operation.
