3.4.4.2Using Private Loadable Resources

Only administrators can create public loadable resources, but users can create private loadable resources. To do this, create a file named .Xprint in your home directory. You can insert as many comment lines as you like, which must start with the “#” character. The definition of a loadable resource starts with its name followed by any options allowed by xpadd -lrs. If a definition continues on the next line, the current line must end with a backslash character.

Resources first have to be created with dedicated tools such as FGL or SIEFONT from Siemens. These tools will generate the data to be downloaded to the printer. The name of the generated file can be saved in a loadable resource object. Each resource needs its own identifier in the printer. This identifier has to be reflected in the resource object as the “printer internal identifier”. The description of a resource can be registered in a loadable resource object.

Resources may be called from documents if they include printer commands that call the resource.

Examples

–The following example shows the definition of several loadable resource objects.

#Private .Xprint file

#Loadable resources

#everypage logo

mylogo -pi 101 -pc HP-LASERJET -tp Overlay -ec -fi $HOME/lrs/mylogo.hp -cr ALL

mybckgrd -pi 102 -pc HP-LASERJET -tp Overlay -ec -fi $HOME/lrs/mybckgrd.hp

–Jobs can use the loadable resources as follows:

xpadd -dr mydocument -lr mylogo

xpadd -dr mydocument -lr mylogo mybckgrd

iIf a private loadable resource has the same name as a predefined (public) loadable resource, the private one is given preference when the name is selected. This means that first your .Xprint file is searched for private loadable resoures. If none can be found, or the .Xprint file does not exist, or the .Xprint file is not readable, then the resource is assumed to be a public loadable resource.
