Configuring Xprint V7.0

6.3Predefined printers

Xprint V7.0 allows you to configure a set of predefined printers quickly and easily. This section describes how to add such printers to the system.

Xprint V7.0 provides a special command for this purpose: xpconf_dev. With this command you can configure a printer defined in the /var/spool/Xprint/config/data/conf_dev file with the default param- eters. This file contains a list of printers which can also be extended individually. By default, this list comprises all the printers of Siemens AG.

The xpconf_dev command is the quickest method of configuring an Siemens printer. Also, if you want to configure several similar printers not contained in the list, it is often better to first extend the list and then call the xpconf_dev command instead of configuring these printers individually with the xpadd -devcommand.

The following table serves as a guide to the subsections dealing with configuring predefined printers:
