Xprint V7.0 is an object-oriented system consisting of various objects. As an
administrator you can define, modify, delete and, if appropriate, activate and
deactivate Xprint V7.0 objects.
The following figure shows the most important Xprint V7.0 components and how
these interact.

The client (xpadd command or API function) requests the printing of a job. This
job is directly processed by the server (except in the case of what is called
direct printing). The server passes the printout on to a suitable supervisor
which itself communicates with the printer via the backend assigned to the
printer.
The following section provides a more detailed description of the available
objects. Almost all the Xprint V7.0 commands can be used with the different
object types.
