Mackie manual Displaying the attributes of an Xprint V7.0 object

Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0 Administrative tasks under Xprint

With the option -didisplay you can determine the scope of the display as described for print jobs in the section “Displaying print jobs” on page 55.

Displaying the attributes of an Xprint V7.0 object

●To obtain more detailed information on the definition of an Xprint V7.0 object, use the following command:

xpshow object_type [selection] [-didisplay]

For object_type you specify the object whose attributes you want to display (e.g. -devfor printer). If the object type is not specified, the command refers by default to print jobs (-job).

If selection is not specified, the command refers to all the objects of the specified type in the Xprint V7.0 system. Otherwise you can either specify the name(s) of the objects whose attributes you want to display, or you can use the -scl“selection_criteria_list” option (see section “Selection criteria list” on page 266 in the Appendix) to define a list of criteria according to which the relevant objects are selected.

To display information on printers or printer groups which can only be reached via gateways, you must specify the name of the printer or printer group in the format gateway!printer_name. Which details of the printer or printer group are displayed in such a case depends on the gateway type.

With the option -didisplay you can determine the scope of the display as described for print jobs in the section “Displaying print jobs” on page 55.

Besides the standard values SHORT, LONG and specifying a list of output parameters as for print jobs, you can also use the keyword REFERENCED_BY here, which returns a list of the Xprint V7.0 objects referring to the specified object. If you specify the option -di REFERENCED_BY (short -diR), you must specify exactly one object of the desired type!

This list is useful if you want to remove an Xprint V7.0 object from the Xprint V7.0 system as you can only remove an object if it is no longer referenced by any other object.
