Administering printer groups Configuring Xprint V7.0

Copying a printer group

If you want to set up a printer group which is very similar to an existing one, you can also copy the existing printer group and modify the copied group according to your requirements.

The new printer group is set up on the host on which the xpcopy -dgrcommand is executed; this is not true if you have specified a different host with the -ah(administration host) option.

●Copy a printer group with the following command: xpcopy -dgrsource_group target_group [modifications]

With source_group you specify the name of the printer group you want to copy. With target_group you must specify the name of the new printer group. If this name already exists (for a printer or a printer group), the xpcopy -dgrcommand is rejected.

For modifications you specify a list containing the new or changed values for the new printer group. The options in this list correspond to the options with which the printer group was added to the Xprint V7.0 system (see the previous section).

Examples

–To set up the printer group group1, which contains the printers printer1, printer2 and printer3 and is only to be used by the users in the permission list permission1:

xpadd -dgrgroup1 -dlprinter1 printer2 printer3 \ -up permission1

–To set up a new group group2 based on the existing group group1 without making any changes:

xpcopy -dgrgroup1 group2

–To set up a new group group2 based on the existing group group1 keeping all printers except for printer3:

xpcopy -dgrgroup1 group2 -dl-printer3
