Administering devices Configuring Xprint V7.0
Once you have connected and configured a new printer, you must activate it.
● Activate the printer by entering the following command:
xpchange -dev printer_name
You can also use the -aa option (for automatic activation) of the xpadd -dev
command, in which case the printer is available immediately after xpstart is
executed.
6.4.2 Deactivating a printer
To deactivate a printer, use the xpchange -dev command. There are three
options available for deactivation (you can only deactivate the printers you
administer):
● You can deactivate a printer completely.
● You can deactivate spoolin.
● You can deactivate the printing itself (spoolout).
Deactivating a printer completely
Deactivating a printer completely means that it is not available for any actions in
the system. A complete deactivation makes sense, for example, if the printer is
not available for a long period of time due to repairs.
● Use the following command to deactivate a printer:
xpchange -dev [selection] -st NOT_ACTIVE [-ju justification]
If you do not specify a selection, all printers you manage in the Xprint V7.0
system are deactivated; otherwise you can either specify a list of the printers
to be deactivated, or you can use the -scl “selection_criteria_list” option
(see section “Selection criteria list” on page 266 in the Appendix) to define a
list of criteria according to which the printers to be deactivated are selected.
If you de-/activate a printer with the -st option, spoolin and spoolout
(printing) are also de-/activated.
With the option -ju justification you specify a comment justifying the new
spoolin status. You can display this comment with the xpstat -dev
command. The comment is deleted automatically when the -st option is
changed again with the xpchange -dev command.
