6.4.2Deactivating a printer

To deactivate a printer, use the xpchange -devcommand. There are three options available for deactivation (you can only deactivate the printers you administer):

●You can deactivate a printer completely.

●You can deactivate spoolin.

●You can deactivate the printing itself (spoolout).

Deactivating a printer completely

Deactivating a printer completely means that it is not available for any actions in the system. A complete deactivation makes sense, for example, if the printer is not available for a long period of time due to repairs.

●Use the following command to deactivate a printer:

xpchange -dev [selection] -st NOT_ACTIVE [-jujustification]

If you do not specify a selection, all printers you manage in the Xprint V7.0 system are deactivated; otherwise you can either specify a list of the printers to be deactivated, or you can use the -scl“selection_criteria_list” option (see section “Selection criteria list” on page 266 in the Appendix) to define a list of criteria according to which the printers to be deactivated are selected.

If you de-/activate a printer with the -stoption, spoolin and spoolout (printing) are also de-/activated.

With the option -jujustification you specify a comment justifying the new spoolin status. You can display this comment with the xpstat -devcommand. The comment is deleted automatically when the -stoption is changed again with the xpchange -devcommand.
