Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 Xprint V7.0 architecture
paper supply is refilled. By means of a recovery rule you could define a
different procedure (to suspend the print job and set the printer to
NOT_ACTIVE until the administrator intervenes, for example).
You can define, modify and delete recovery rules.
● Servers (-srv)
Servers are the Xprint V7.0 objects which administer incoming print jobs and
are responsible for scheduling them. Each server administers its own print
queue, which contains all the print jobs for the printers whose supervisors
are controlled by the server.
You can define and delete servers and change their status.
● Supervisors (-spv)
A supervisor is directly responsible for controlling one or more printers. It
obtains the job data from the responsible server and forwards it to the
backend program (see entry “Backend” on page 273 in the glossary). One
supervisor may control several local printers.
As the system or Xprint V7.0 administrator, you can set up and delete super-
visors, and change their status.
● Users (-usr)
Xprint V7.0 differentiates between two types of user: UNIX users, who are
not defined in the Xprint V7.0 system, and Xprint V7.0 users, who are
defined in the Xprint V7.0 system. UNIX users are all users of the UNIX
system on which Xprint V7.0 is running; the default settings for Xprint V7.0
apply to them. If these settings are not sufficient, the UNIX users can be
defined in the Xprint V7.0 system.
More settings can be made for Xprint V7.0 users than for UNIX users:
– Xprint V7.0 users can access their print jobs from all the hosts for which
they are registered.
– They can be assigned a security level and thus be granted access to
printers with a corresponding security level.
– Print quotas can be defined for the number of jobs or print pages
allowed, thus preventing users from making unlimited numbers of
printouts.
