Mackie V7.0 manual Selecting a printer, Defining a default destination, Examples

Selecting a printer Producing Output with Xprint V7.0

To address a printer (group) via a gateway, you must specify both the name of the gateway and the name of the desired destination, separating the names with the ! character. Only the administrator can find out the name of all the gateways available using the xpshow -gtwcommand.

To address a printer via a gateway, specify the combination gateway!printer as the printer name with the -deoption.

Defining a default destination

With the shell variable XP_DESTIN you can define one or more printers of your Xprint V7.0 domain as the default destination for your print jobs. In this case, each print job for which you do not explicitly specify a target printer will be printed on this default destination. If you have defined more than one printer as the default destination, Xprint V7.0 will select a suitable printer.

To define a default destination, you must set the shell variable XP_DESTIN to the names of the desired printers and export it before submitting a print job. The individual printers must be separated by spaces. If you want to define the default destination for every session with your computer, it is recommended that you set XP_DESTIN in a file which is processed for every login (e.g., depending on the shell, the file .profile or .xsession in your HOME directory).
