Predefined printers Configuring Xprint V7.0

6.3.2Extending the list of predefined printers

If you need to configure a non-predefined printer type frequently in Xprint V7.0, you can enter this printer type in the /var/spool/Xprint/config/data/conf_dev file with the corresponding default values. This allows you to configure printers of this type with the xpconf_dev command.

By default you require system administrator privileges to be able to edit this file.

The file consists of a number of lines, each of which corresponds to one entry. The entries could read as follows:

SNI-4007 ! EPSON-LQ ! EPSON-LQ ! NONE ! 9600		! 8	! XON ! N !
SERIAL !
SNI-4009 ! EPSON-FX ! EPSON-FX ! NONE ! 9600		! 8		! ETX ! N !
SERIAL !
SNI-4009 ! PROPRINTER ! PROPRINTER ! NONE ! 9600 ! 8				! XON ! N !
SERIAL !
SNI-4010 ! EPSON-LQ ! EPSON-LQ ! NONE ! 9600		! 8		! XON ! N !
SERIAL !
SNI-4011 ! ECMA-9097 ! E-9097	! NONE ! 9600	! 8		! XON ! Y !
SERIAL ! ( users only).

Each entry consists of nine fields which are separated by the exclamation mark !. The individual fields have the following meanings:

Field	Meaning
1	Printer type - the name under which the printer can be selected. For
	new entries any name can be used.
2	Emulation - if a printer supports more than one emulation, a separate
	entry with the same printer type and a different emulation should be
	specified for each different emulation.
3	PCL - here, the name of the PCL suitable for the printer type and
	emulation is specified. If this PCL is not yet defined in the Xprint V7.0
	configuration, xpconf_dev will add it.
4	Parity - for a connection via a serial interface, the type of parity bit
	must be specified here. Possible values are ODD, EVEN and NONE.

5Baud rate - for a connection via a serial interface, the baud rate of the connection is specified here.
