Checklist for adding a printer Appendix

Questions

1Has the address of the new printer been defined in the system?

2If you do not want to use the default supervisor: does the supervisor of the new printer already exist on the host on which the printer is to be added?

If this is not the case, first set up the supervisor and then add the printer.

3Are the attributes you have selected for the new printer compatible with its PCL?

Compare the attributes with the LONG display of the xpshow -pclcommand for the PCL you have selected. In the event of inconsistencies, the xpadd -devcommand is rejected.

4If use of the new printer is to be restricted to a specific group of users: is there a suitable permission list already available in the Xprint V7.0 system?

The section “Creating a permission list” on page 144 contains a description of how to set up a permission list.

5If you want to define a default form for the printer: is this form already defined in the Xprint V7.0 system?

For information on how to add a form, see the section “Administering forms” on page 156.

6Can the form you have selected as the default form for the printer be mounted automatically?

If this is not the case, select another form or change the option -mmto AUTOMATIC for the selected form.

7Is the layup of the default form of the printer compatible with the PCL of the printer?

See the LONG displays of the commands xpshow -frmand xpshow -pclto check this. If the layup is not compatible, modify the -lsoption of the form accordingly.

8Is the font of the default form compatible with the printer’s PCL? See the LONG displays of the commands xpshow -fntand xpshow -pclto check this. If it is not compatible, modify the form accordingly. If there is no suitable font available, you might have to add a font to the Xprint V7.0
