Appendix Checklist for adding a printer
When you have entered all the given data in the worksheet, you can fill out the
other fields concerning printers (“Name” and “Supervisor name”). It makes
sense to have the Xprint V7.0 administrator assign these globally to make sure
that the names are unique within the Xprint V7.0 network. You can choose any
name you wish, but every printer must be given a unique name. The printers can
be named, for example, according to their type, their location, or the computer
to which they are connected. It is only important that the names are unique
throughout the network.
On every computer to which printers are connected, there must be at least one
supervisor defined which controls these printers. Whether several printers are
to be controlled by one supervisor or whether each printer is to have its own
supervisor, depends on the resource requirements (processes) and on avail-
ability considerations. Each supervisor entered in the “Connected printers” table
in the worksheet must also be entered in the “Name” field in the “Supervisors
used” table.
Each supervisor is controlled by a server, for which purpose any server in the
network can be used. For each local supervisor on the computer, enter the
name of the server responsible for this supervisor (“Server name” field) and on
which computer the server runs (“Host name” field).
As already described, a default supervisor/server can be used for each host. By
default, these are named after the corresponding host.
When you have completed the worksheet, the computer can be added to the
Xprint V7.0 system.
Checklist for adding a printer
There are a large number of options available for the xpadd -dev command,
which allow you to optimally adjust every printer in the Xprint V7.0 system to
meet the requirements of your environment. To be able to make the best
possible use of these options, you may have to set up permission lists, forms,
fonts, filters etc. before adding a new printer to the system. Furthermore, you
should know which printer attributes are supported by the PCL of the new
printer. Use the following questions to check whether all the requirements for
using the
xpadd -dev command are fulfilled.
