Installation (new) Installing Xprint V7.0

8.4.1Installing with cpio

To install Xprint V7.0, you require a minimum of 15 megabytes free storage space. Also, the Xprint V7.0 database requires additional storage space the size of which directly depends on the contents of the database (the number of servers, printers, PCLs etc.).

To install the Xprint V7.0 software, proceed as follows:

●log in as root, change to the /tmp directory and enter the following command:

cpio -icvBd Install < <device>

Where device represents the path of the device from which you install the software, i.e. the pathname of the special file of the magnetic tape drive or of the CD-ROM drive.

●Enter the following command:

/tmp/Install `pwd`

Then the Xprint V7.0 directory is created in which the entire software is going to be installed.

Xprint V7.0 can also be installed in another directory. In this case you should create a link between the actual Xprint V7.0 directory and the /var/spool/Xprint directory.

In the case of installations with cpio, DBinstall must be called manually and there is no automatic configuration of printers.

8.4.2Installing with pkgadd

The pkgadd command provides another way of installing Xprint V7.0. In the case of this command, the installation procedure is menu-driven, you only need to follow the instructions or select one of the options offered by the program.

Start the installation with the following command:

pkgadd -d <device_name>/Xprint V7.0.pkg

device_name represents the identifier of the device from which you install the software, i.e. the identifier of the magnetic tape drive or of the CD-ROM drive.
