Administrative tasks under Xprint Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0
whenever the host is started. Supervisors are activated automatically when
Xprint V7.0 is started if a printer they administer was configured with the -aa
option.
Objects are always activated using the xpchange command (see section
“Changing the status of Xprint V7.0 objects” on page 82).
5.3.2 Deleting Xprint V7.0 objects
With the xpdel command you can delete Xprint V7.0 objects from the Xprint
V7.0 database. The Xprint V7.0 administrator can delete all objects from the
system with the exception of the Xprint V7.0 system object (-sys), which cannot
be deleted. System and local Xprint V7.0 administrators can only delete those
objects which are administered on the local host. For a detailed description of
using this command for each object type see the “Xprint V7.0 - Reference
Manual”.
The following rules apply for deleting Xprint V7.0 objects:
– Only Xprint V7.0 objects which are no longer used by any other Xprint V7.0
object can be deleted. Before deleting an object you should therefore make
sure that there are no references to the specified object. Any references can
be displayed using the xpshow command with the option -di REFERENCED_BY
(see section “Displaying the attributes of an Xprint V7.0 object” on page 83).
Any objects with references to the object to be deleted must be modified
such that theses references are canceled.
–Printers (-dev), gateways (-gtw), servers (-srv) and supervisors (-spv) must
be deactivated before they can be deleted. If necessary, this can be checked
with the xpstat command (see section “Displaying the status of an Xprint
V7.0 object” on page 82).
If an object to be deleted is still active, it must be deactivated with the
xpchange command used with the option -st NOT_ACTIVE (see section
“Changing the status of Xprint V7.0 objects” on page 82).
– When deleting an object of the type server, you must always make sure that
the print queue assigned to the server does not contain any print jobs as
these will be lost when the server is deleted. For servers you are therefore
advised to deactivate spoolin some time before deleting the server. In this
case, any print jobs in the print queue can still be printed without any more
jobs being added. Another possibility is to redirect the print queues of a
printer assigned to the server to another printer.
