Rules for configuring the system Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0
5.4.4 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). The functionality
includes:
– the basic job administration functions: xpadd -job, xpdel -job, xpstat -job,
xpshow -job
– restricted functions concerning the print resources: xpshow -dev,
xpstat -dev
As only the BSD LPD functions are accessible with this type of gateway, the
additional Xprint V7.0 options are not available.
The GIP2 gateway
This offers two possibilities:
1. Connecting two Xprint V7.0 domains. This provides the following function-
ality:
– the complete functionality concerning job administration: xpadd -job,
xpmod -job, xpchange -job, xpdel -job, xpshow -job, xpstat -job
– access to some options concerning Xprint V7.0 resources: xpshow
-dev/-dgr/-flt/-fnt/-frm/-jtp/-lrs/-pcl, xpstat -dev/-dgr
2. Connecting Xprint V7.0 and DPRINT. This provides the following function-
ality:
– job administration functions: xpadd -job, xpdel -job, xpstat -job,
xpshow -job
– several functions concerning the printer resources: xpshow -dev/-dgr,
xpstat -dev
In addition to the supported print protocols (e.g. BSD or GIP2) the gateways can
be of the type LOCAL or PARTNER. Gateways of the type LOCAL represent active
Xprint V7.0 objects which are responsible for exporting jobs to partner print
