Installation (users only) Installing Xprint V7.0
8.5.1 Installation with pkgadd
The pkgadd command provides a menu-driven installation procedure; you only
need to follow the instructions or select one of the options offered by the
program.
Start the installation with the following command:
pkgadd -d <device_name>
device_name represents the identifier of the device from which you install the
software, i.e. the identifier of the magnetic tape drive. To install Xprint V7.0 from
CD-ROM, use the system administration interface sysadm.
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 response is 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 old
database is backed up in the directory DB.backup whether it is 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 allows you to have printers configured automatically during instal-
lation 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 “Predefined printers and
PCLs” in the Reference Manual.
