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. For this
purpose you must gain an overview of all the computers and printers in this
network. You should gather data on every computer and printer. This data will
be required for configuring Xprint V7.0. The Appendix contains a worksheet in
which you can enter the relevant data. It is recommended that you make a copy
of this worksheet for every computer in your network and fill it out carefully. If
there is not enough space for the relevant printers and/or supervisors, use the
back of the copy or an additional sheet which you should clip to the worksheet.
Configuring the primary master host
When you have installed Xprint V7.0 on the host which is to be the primary
master host, you can start configuring Xprint V7.0 by preparing the selected
system as follows:
● Log in to the selected system as root.
● Configure the network services for the communication with Xprint V7.0
(/etc/services file, see section “Configuring the local area network
(LAN)” on page 235).
● 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 V7.0
administrator. To configure the Xprint V7.0 administrator proceed as follows:
● Define the Xprint V7.0 administrator xprintadm as a user of this host (e.g.
using the administrator interface sysadm).
