6.2.1Configuring Xprint V7.0 on a stand-alone system

Configuring an individual stand-alone system in Xprint V7.0 requires only a few steps. The only measures concerning the host are the configuration of an Xprint V7.0 administrator, and (in high-availability configurations) possibly changing the host name in the Xprint V7.0 configuration in the event that a reserve host is to assume the functions of the (failed) main host.

Configuring an Xprint V7.0 administrator

You should define an Xprint V7.0 administrator for managing Xprint V7.0 on your system. Except for starting the spooler system with the xpstart command, which requires root privileges, the Xprint V7.0 administrator can perform all the administrative tasks concerning Xprint V7.0 on your system.

The rest of this chapter assumes the existence of an Xprint V7.0 administrator. If you have not defined an Xprint V7.0 administrator, the specified actions must be performed by root instead.

You can assign this task to any existing user on your system or you can first set up a separate user ID.
