Administering printer groups Configuring Xprint V7.0

6.5.4Deactivating a printer group

To deactivate a printer group, use the xpchange -dgrcommand. You can only change the current spoolin status of the printer groups you manage.

●Use the following command to deactivate a printer group: xpchange -dgr [selection] -si OFF [-jujustification]

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 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 printer groups to be deactivated are selected.

The option -si OFF specifies the new spoolin status (in this case OFF) for the selected printer group. When -si OFF is set, the print requests for the selected printer groups are rejected.

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

Examples

–To change the spoolin status of printer group group1 to OFF with the justifi- cation that the group is being modified:

xpchange -dgrgroup1 -si OFF -ju "group is being modified"

–To deactivate all printer groups which contain printer printer8 (remember that all criteria used for selecting the printer groups must be enclosed in quotes):

xpchange -dgr -scl "-dl printer8” -si OFF

–To deactivate all printer groups:

xpchange -dgr -si OFF -ju "complete reorganization"
