Allowing print jobs to be submitted by users of the other Xprint V7.0 domain

If you want to allow users of the other Xprint V7.0 domain to submit print jobs for local printers via the gateway, the partner gateway must be defined as an allowed gateway at the local gateway. To do this, use the following command:

xpmod -gtwlocal_gw -ag+spool_partner

With this command, the partner gateway spool_partner is assigned to the local gateway local_gw as an allowed gateway. Only the Xprint V7.0 domains which are connected to the local Xprint V7.0 domain via allowed partner gateways are allowed to use its print services.

You can also define all partner gateways as allowed gateways by using the keyword ALL:

xpmod -gtw local_gw -ag ALL

In this case only the value ALL needs to be specified with the -agoption. Therefore, the + character is not specified after the -agoption in the example above.

i

Please note that when the option -ag ALL is used, any partner gateway added is automatically granted permission to access the local gateway.

Activating the gateway connection

To be able to print via the gateways, the corresponding local gateway must be activated. Activation with the xpchange command can be effected on several levels: you can allow only the export of print jobs via the assigned partner gateways, only the import from these gateways, or both. The following command allows both the import and export of print jobs:

xpchange -gtw local_gw

If only the import of print jobs is to be allowed, you can use the -gi ON option; to only allow the export, use the -go ON option.

Restrictions of gateways to other Xprint V7.0 domains

Working with gateways to other Xprint V7.0 domains is subject to certain restric- tions which the users of these gateways must be familiar with:

– The -rmoption of the xpadd -jobcommand cannot be used.
