Configuring Xprint V7.0

To copy a form, use the following command:

xpcopy -frmold_form_name new_form_name [modifications]

old_form_name is the name of the existing form that is to be copied, new_form_name is the name of the new form file.

modifications represents a list of modified attributes which are to be different for the new form. Each entry in this list consists of an option of the xpadd -frmcommand plus a corresponding value.

6.9.2Deleting a form

You can delete from the Xprint V7.0 system any form you administer.

i

A form which is referenced by another object (e.g. the default form of an existing printer) cannot be deleted. Neither is it possible to delete the default form GENERIC supplied with Xprint V7.0.

To delete a form, proceed as follows:

Log in as the Xprint V7.0 administrator.

You can only delete a form if there are no references to other objects (e.g. default form of a printer). Check this with the xpshow command:

xpshow -frm [selection]form -diR

For form you specify the name of exactly one form you want to delete. If you want to delete several forms, you must repeat this command for each one.
