Producing Output with Xprint V7.0 Using Xprint V7.0 options

For inter-domain printing, resources are assumed to be available in the remote domain. This restricts resources to public ones.

3.4.5Copying print files before printing and deleting them after printing

The basic command xpadd -dr file prints the specified file by adding to the job queue a reference to the original file. If there is some time between job submission and the actual printing, any changes made to the document during this time also affect the printout. This is not always desirable. For this reason, Xprint V7.0 allows you to make a copy of the data to be printed. This can be done using the following option:

-cp(cp stands for copy file)

This option causes a copy to be made of the document to be printed. This way the original file can immediately be edited further or can be deleted without these modifications affecting the printout.

Another option causes a file to be deleted immediately after printing:

-rm(rm stands for remove file after printing)

This option causes all the specified files to be deleted after the printout. If the printout is not finished, for example due to an error or because the job was canceled, the files are not removed from the system. If a retention period was specified with the -rpretention_period option, this file is only deleted when this period of time has elapsed. If Xprint V7.0 is not active on the relevant host system at the scheduled delete time, the files cannot be removed.

If the options -cpand -rmare used simultaneously, the -rmoption is ignored without notice and only -cpis interpreted.
