Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering printer groups
6.5.1 Setting up a new printer group
There are two possible ways of setting up new printer groups: you can either
define a completely new printer group or you can copy an existing one and
modify it.
Setting up a completely new printer group
● Set up a new printer group with the following command:
xpadd -dgr group_name -dl device_list
With group_name you assign the new group a name. This name must be
unique among all printer groups and printers already defined in the system.
With device_list you specify the names of the printers which are to belong to
the new group. The printer names must be separated by blanks. Printer
groups must not be specified in the list. The following requirements must be
met for the specified printers:
– All printers must already be configured.
– You must have the permission required to address the printers in the
printer group.
– All printers must be controlled by the same server. A print job in the print
queue is always handled by a single server. If any printer in a printer
group were not controlled by the same server as the others in the group,
this printer would never be used for printing jobs (even if it were the first
printer available). If this is the case, use the xpmod -dev command to
assign the printer to the correct server.
– The spoolin status of the added printer group is automatically set to "ON".
Also, the date of the last modification is updated.
In addition, the following options are available for defining the attributes of
the printer group: -up user_permission, -ah administration_host,
-cu comment_for_user, -ca comment_for_administrator.
For more detailed information refer to the description of the xpadd -dgr
command in the “Xprint V7.0 - Reference Manual”.
