7 Interoperability

This chapter describes how you can interact with other spooler systems.

7.1Introduction

Xprint V7.0 allows you to interact with other spooler systems. The following figure illustrates the various possibilities:

Figure 12: Interoperation with other spooler systems

This means that you can make the printers in remote Xprint V7.0 systems also available to users of the local Xprint V7.0 domain and, vice versa, the printers of the local Xprint V7.0 domain can be made available to users of remote spooler systems.
