Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 Administrative tasks under Xprint
5.3.3 Modifying Xprint V7.0 objects
With the xpmod command, you can modify the static attributes of all Xprint V7.0
objects. Dynamic attributes such as the printer status or the status of the current
print quotas of a user can be changed with the xpchange command (see the
following section “Changing the status of Xprint V7.0 objects” on page 82). The
Xprint V7.0 administrator can modify all objects in the system, while the system
and local Xprint V7.0 administrators can only modify those objects which are
administered on their 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 modifying objects:
– Printers (-dev), gateways (-gtw), servers (-srv) and supervisors (-spv) must
be deactivated before they can be modified. 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).
Remember to reactivate the object after modifying it!
– Basically you can use any option which can also be used when adding the
object. However, there are a few special cases, which are described below:
Options representing Boolean values (e.g. the option -aa for printers which
switches on automatic activation) can be removed by specifying a minus
sign - after the option (example: xpmod -dev printer1 -aa-).
Options defining lists (e.g. the -dl option for printer groups which defines the
printers belonging to this group) can be modified in three different ways:
– If a minus sign is specified after the option, the objects specified behind
it are removed from the list (example: xpmod -dgr pgroup1 -dl- printer4
printer5).
– If a plus sign + is specified after the option, the objects specified behind
it are added to the list (example: xpmod -dgr pgroup1 -dl+ printer6).
– If the objects are specified directly after the option, the existing list is
replaced by the specified objects (example: xpmod -dgr pgroup2
-dl printer1 printer2 printer6).
