Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering printer groups

6.5.5Reactivating a printer group

To be able to assign print jobs to a printer group, the spoolin status of this printer group must be set to ON.

●To activate a printer group, use the following command: xpchange -dgr [selection] [-si ON] [-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 the names of the printer groups you want to activate, 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 activated are selected.

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

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 set the spoolin status of the printer group group1 to ONwith the justification that the group is now ready again:

xpchange -dgr group1 -si ON -ju "ready again"

–To set the spoolin status to ON for 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 ON

–To activate all printer groups: xpchange -dgr -si ON
