5.4.4Configuring gateways

Gateways provide interoperability between different Xprint V7.0 domains and between Xprint V7.0 and other spooler systems. There are two types of gateway:

The BSD gateways

These allow Xprint V7.0 users to access BSD LPD printer servers (e.g. Novell Netware with the BSD LPD emulation Flex/IP) and to share Xprint V7.0 resources with BSD LPD users (e.g. a WPRINT PC user). The functionality includes:

–the basic job administration functions: xpadd -job,xpdel -job,xpstat -job,xpshow -job

–restricted functions concerning the print resources: xpshow -dev,xpstat -dev

As only the BSD LPD functions are accessible with this type of gateway, the additional Xprint V7.0 options are not available.

The GIP2 gateway

This offers two possibilities:

1.Connecting two Xprint V7.0 domains. This provides the following function- ality:

–the complete functionality concerning job administration: xpadd -job,xpmod -job,xpchange -job,xpdel -job,xpshow -job,xpstat -job

–access to some options concerning Xprint V7.0 resources: xpshow -dev/-dgr/-flt/-fnt/-frm/-jtp/-lrs/-pcl,xpstat -dev/-dgr

2.Connecting Xprint V7.0 and DPRINT. This provides the following function- ality:

–job administration functions: xpadd -job,xpdel -job,xpstat -job,xpshow -job

–several functions concerning the printer resources: xpshow -dev/-dgr,xpstat -dev

In addition to the supported print protocols (e.g. BSD or GIP2) the gateways can be of the type LOCAL or PARTNER. Gateways of the type LOCAL represent active Xprint V7.0 objects which are responsible for exporting jobs to partner print
