Administering devices Configuring Xprint V7.0
6.4.1 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.
You can also add a printer without first having defined a server and
supervisor. In this case, the following applies: if you add a printer with the
xpadd -dev command and no server or supervisor are defined on the
local host, Xprint V7.0 automatically configures a server and supervisor
with the name of the host on which they are defined. The new printer is
automatically assigned to these objects.
Selecting a server
● To display a list of all the available servers in order to select one for your
supervisor or to define a unique name, use the following command:
xpshow -srv
A list of all the defined servers is displayed, which has the following structure:
Name User perm. Host Administrator
---- ---------- ---- -------------
srv_colorado colorado root
missouri_server missouri xprintadm
delaware_srv delaware root
● If you want to define a new server on your system, enter the following
command:
xpadd -srv server_name
Defining a supervisor
● If the new printer on your system requires its own supervisor, you can now
define this supervisor with the following command:
xpadd -spv supervisor_name [-se server_name]
Assign a unique name to the supervisor and specify with server_name which
server is to manage your supervisor.
