Interoperability Gateways
7.3 Gateways
Gateways allow access to various other spooler systems: to other Xprint V7.0
domains, to systems with BSD spoolers and to BS2000 systems on which the
DPRINT spooler is installed. This section describes the characteristics of
gateways and how they are configured.
7.3.1 Gateway characteristics
Gateways allow the bidirectional connection of an Xprint V7.0 domain with:
– other Xprint V7.0 domains
– lpd spoolers in BSD-UNIX systems (e.g. SunOS
®
, Linux, Ultrix32
®
)
– lpd daemons in Novell NetWare
®
servers, UNIX
®
SVR4 systems,
Microsoft
®
Windows NT
®
servers, Microsoft
®
Windows 2000
®
servers etc.
– DPRINT spoolers in BS2000 systems
This allows you to make the printers in remote Xprint V7.0 systems also
available to users of the local Xprint V7.0 domain and, vice versa, the printers
of the local Xprint V7.0 domain can be made available to users of remote
spooler systems.
7.3.2 Setting up a gateway connection
This section first describes the general rules for and the basic procedure of
configuring a gateway connection to another printer spooler. A detailed
description of how to establish a gateway connection to another printer spooler
can be found in the following sections:
Only the Xprint V7.0 administrator can configure gateways.
