6.4.1Adding a printer

If your system has a printer attached, this printer must be managed by a local supervisor, which itself must be controlled by a server in the network. You can use a default supervisor, an existing defined supervisor or you can define a new one. If you define a new supervisor, you can assign it to any existing server in the network or define a separate new server for it or use a predefined default server.

You can also add a printer without first having defined a server and supervisor. In this case, the following applies: if you add a printer with the xpadd -devcommand and no server or supervisor are defined on the local host, Xprint V7.0 automatically configures a server and supervisor with the name of the host on which they are defined. The new printer is automatically assigned to these objects.

Selecting a server

●To display a list of all the available servers in order to select one for your supervisor or to define a unique name, use the following command:

xpshow -srv

A list of all the defined servers is displayed, which has the following structure:

Name	User perm.	Host	Administrator
----	----------	----	-------------
srv_colorado		colorado	root
missouri_server		missouri	xprintadm
delaware_srv		delaware	root

●If you want to define a new server on your system, enter the following command:

xpadd -srv server_name

Defining a supervisor

●If the new printer on your system requires its own supervisor, you can now define this supervisor with the following command:

xpadd -spvsupervisor_name [-seserver_name]

Assign a unique name to the supervisor and specify with server_name which server is to manage your supervisor.
