Interoperability Gateways

7.3Gateways

Gateways allow access to various other spooler systems: to other Xprint V7.0 domains, to systems with BSD spoolers and to BS2000 systems on which the DPRINT spooler is installed. This section describes the characteristics of gateways and how they are configured.

7.3.1Gateway characteristics

Gateways allow the bidirectional connection of an Xprint V7.0 domain with:

–other Xprint V7.0 domains

–lpd spoolers in BSD-UNIX systems (e.g. SunOS®, Linux, Ultrix32®)

–lpd daemons in Novell NetWare® servers, UNIX® SVR4 systems, Microsoft® Windows NT® servers, Microsoft® Windows 2000® servers etc.

–DPRINT spoolers in BS2000 systems

This allows you to 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.

7.3.2Setting up a gateway connection

This section first describes the general rules for and the basic procedure of configuring a gateway connection to another printer spooler. A detailed description of how to establish a gateway connection to another printer spooler can be found in the following sections:

Type of gateway	Description
connecting Xprint V7.0 and a BSD printer spooler	page 214
connecting two Xprint V7.0 domains	page 219
connecting Xprint V7.0 and a DPRINT printer spooler	page 223

Only the Xprint V7.0 administrator can configure gateways.
