Xprint V7.0 for Windows Differences from Xprint V7.0/UNIX

One special situation that must be described in more detail is the case where root is configured as Xprint V7.0 administrator (which is the default after installation). The mapping of the Windows members of the Adminis- trators group to the UNIX root user when root is configured as Xprint V7.0 administrator means that any member of this group is recognized as Xprint V7.0 administrator. On Windows, it is possible to exclude a member of the Administrators group from the Xprint V7.0 administration privilege merely by creating a user with his login name in the Xprint V7.0 database. So, if root is set as Xprint V7.0 administrator of the domain, only those members of the Administrators group who are not registered in the database will be recognized as Xprint V7.0 administrator. However, the members of the Administrators group who are registered in the database retain their system administrator rights in Xprint V7.0.

9.3.5Printer support

Xprint V7.0 for Windows supports the following printers:

–network printers which can be accessed at a given IP address and TCP port number

–Windows workgroup shared printers

–directly attached printers, connected locally to a serial or parallel port.

The detection of printer errors (for example end of paper) and the related recovery procedure are only provided on network printers. The directly attached Windows printers and workgroup shared printers can be used for printing, but without any polling of the device status.

LAN printers

The configuration is the same as with Xprint V7.0 on UNIX, for example:

xpadd -dev LANpr -da “193.220.12.12 9100” -coLAN -pcHP-LASERJET

Workgroup Shared printers

Xprint V7.0 for Windows can print to printers shared by a Windows station. The Xprint V7.0 device must be defined with a PARALLEL connection type and the Windows UNC for device address, i.e. the device address is in the form \\<hostname>\<printer>, as in the following example:

xpadd -dev NTPr -da “\\D241PCNT\HP” -coPARALLEL -pc HP-LASERJET

where D241PCNT is the name of the Windows computer sharing the printer HP.
