Configuring Xprint V7.0

Administering printer groups

6.5.2Adding a printer to a printer group

If you want to add a printer to a printer group, this printer must already be configured in the spooler system. If this is not the case, you must add the printer with the xpadd -devcommand; for more detailed information on this, see the section “Adding a printer” on page 116. Proceed as follows:

Add additional printers to the printer group: xpmod -dgr [selection] -dl+new_printer

If selection is not specified, the command refers to all the printer groups in the Xprint V7.0 system. Otherwise you can either specify a list of the printer groups to be added, 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 relevant printer groups are selected.

Example

To add the printers printer4 and printer5 to the printer group group1. xpadd -dgr group1 -dl+ printer4 printer5

6.5.3Removing a printer from a printer group

The xpmod -dgrcommand allows you to delete any printer you manage from a printer group that you have access to.

Proceed as follows:

Remove the printer:

xpmod -dgr [selection] -dl-printer_name

If selection is not specified, the command refers to all the printer groups in the Xprint V7.0 system. Otherwise you can either specify a list of the printer groups to be removed, 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 relevant printer groups are selected.

Example

To delete the printer printer3 from the printer group group1, retaining all the other printers:

xpmod -dgr group1 -dl- printer3
