Installation (new) Installing Xprint V7.0
Initializing the Xprint V7.0 database
To be able to work correctly, Xprint V7.0 requires a database.
This database can be initialized automatically as part of the Xprint V7.0 instal-
lation process. The user is asked whether he/she wants a database to be
installed or not. If the user responds with yes, he/she will be asked whether the
database is to be installed in any case or only if an already existing database
has been found to be defective.
If an initialization is started even though there is an old database, this is backed
up in the directory DB.backup in any case, no matter if defective or not.
To restore such a backup database, you must first deactivate the Xprint V7.0
system. Then you must delete the directory config/DB and rename the directory
config/DB.backup to config/DB.
Automatic configuration of printers
Xprint V7.0 offers the option of having printers configured automatically during
installation of the packages. If you select this option, you will be asked to select
one or more printers from a menu in the course of the installation process. To
find out which devices are supported, see the section “Supported printers and
PCLs” in the Reference Manual.
In the case of installations with cpio, DBinstall must be called manually and
there is no automatic configuration of printers.
