Requirements Xprint V7.0 for Windows
9.2 Requirements
Xprint V7.0 is designed to run on Windows NT Server 4.0, Windows 2000
Server or on Windows 2000 Advanced Server for Intel processors, and
compatible platforms.
We do not recommend you to run Xprint V7.0 on Windows NT Workstation or
Windows 2000 Professional. The intrinsic restrictions on the number of connec-
tions that can be simultaneously open on these operating systems cause Xprint
V7.0 to be relatively unstable.
9.3 Differences from Xprint V7.0/UNIX
The Xprint V7.0 manuals describe Xprint V7.0 on UNIX. In general, their
contents also apply to Xprint V7.0 on Windows. However, there are a number of
differences due to the nature of the operating systems, and these differences
are described in this section.
9.3.1 Installation and license key
The installation of Xprint V7.0 for Windows conforms to the standards for this
platform: a setup wizard guides you in the successive steps of the installation.
The wizard is automatically started when you introduce the CD-ROM medium.
If the wizard does not appear, start it manually by executing D:\setup (if D is
your CD-ROM drive). Wprint, the client program to print from Windows applica-
tions, can optionally be installed along with Xprint V7.0.
During the installation you will be prompted for the Xprint V7.0_db entry. This
entry identifies the TCP port number for the Xprint V7.0 database. It is automat-
ically added to the file %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\services.
Xprint V7.0 must be installed on a local hard drive. The network shared drives
are not supported.
Be careful that temporary files will be stored in the selected installation path.
Indeed, the files to be printed are temporary stored in some installation subdi-
rectories.
At the end of the first installation, two GIP2 gateways are created (a LOCAL and
a PARTNER one) to allow the access from a Wprint client.
