.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
Xprt is the Xprint print server
|
||
|
|
for version 11 of the X Window system for non display devices
|
||
|
|
such as printers and fax machines.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Xprint is an advanced printing system which enables X11
|
||
|
|
applications to use devices like printers, FAX or create
|
||
|
|
documents in formats like PostScript, PCL or PDF. It may be used by
|
||
|
|
clients such as mozilla.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Xprint is a very flexible, extensible, scalable, client/server
|
||
|
|
print system based on ISO 10175 (and some other specs) and the X11
|
||
|
|
rendering protocol.
|
||
|
|
Using Xprint an application can search, query and use devices like
|
||
|
|
printers, FAX machines or create documents in formats like PDF.
|
||
|
|
In particular, an application can seek a printer, query supported
|
||
|
|
attributes (like paper size, trays, fonts etc.), configure the printer
|
||
|
|
device to match it's needs and print on it like on any other X device
|
||
|
|
reusing parts of the code which is used for the video card Xserver.
|
||
|
|
.SH USAGE
|
||
|
|
Although Xprt may be invoked from the command line, it is
|
||
|
|
preferable to run it as a daemon via the init script
|
||
|
|
\fB/etc/init.d/xprint\fR (where this script exists).
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Client programs such as mozilla will require environment
|
||
|
|
variable \fB${XPSERVERLIST}\fR to be set, identifying the
|
||
|
|
"display" on which Xprt is running. This variable may be set
|
||
|
|
for all users via \fB/etc/profile\fR (or similar), using
|
||
|
|
\fB/etc/init.d/xprint get_xpserverlist\fR:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.nf
|
||
|
|
export XPSERVERLIST=`/etc/init.d/xprint get_xpserverlist`
|
||
|
|
.fi
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
Many of Xprt's command line options are shared in common
|
||
|
|
with the usual X servers (see \fBXserver\fR(__appmansuffix__)).
|
||
|
|
Commonly used options include:
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB:\fIdisplay\fB\fR
|
||
|
|
The X server runs on the given display. If multiple X
|
||
|
|
servers are to run simultaneously on a host, each must
|
||
|
|
have a unique display number. Note that the standard X
|
||
|
|
server (for video displays) typically runs on display
|
||
|
|
:0. If \fB/etc/init.d/xprint\fR is used
|
||
|
|
to invoke Xprt, it may be configured to automatically assign an available
|
||
|
|
display number.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\-ac\fR
|
||
|
|
disables host-based access control mechanisms. Enables access
|
||
|
|
by any host, and permits any host to modify the access control
|
||
|
|
list. Use with extreme caution. This option exists primarily
|
||
|
|
for running test suites remotely.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\-audit \fIlevel\fB\fR
|
||
|
|
sets the audit trail level. The default level is 1, meaning
|
||
|
|
only connection rejections are reported. Level 2 additionally
|
||
|
|
reports all successful connections and disconnects. Level 4
|
||
|
|
enables messages from the SECURITY extension, if present,
|
||
|
|
including generation and revocation of authorizations and
|
||
|
|
violations of the security policy. Level 0 turns off the audit
|
||
|
|
trail. Audit lines are sent as standard error output.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\-fp \fIfontpath\fB\fR
|
||
|
|
sets the search path for fonts. This path is a comma
|
||
|
|
separated list of directories which Xprt searches for
|
||
|
|
font databases.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\-pn\fR
|
||
|
|
permits the server to continue running if it fails to
|
||
|
|
establish all of its well-known sockets (connection
|
||
|
|
points for clients), but establishes at least
|
||
|
|
one.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\-XpFile \fIfile\fB\fR
|
||
|
|
Sets an alternate Xprinters file (see section FILES).
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\-XpSpoolerType \fIspoolername\fB\fR
|
||
|
|
Defines the spooler system to be used for print job spooling.
|
||
|
|

.SH ENVIRONMENT
|
||
|
|
The following environment variables are recognized by the X print server
|
||
|
|
(environment variables recognized by Xprint clients are described in
|
||
|
|
\fBXprint\fR(__miscmansuffix__)):
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB${XPCONFIGDIR}\fR
|
||
|
|
This environment variable points to the root
|
||
|
|
of the Xprint server configuration directory hierarchy.
|
||
|
|
If the variable is not defined, the default
|
||
|
|
path is be assumed. The default path may be
|
||
|
|
\fB/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/\fR,
|
||
|
|
\fB/usr/lib/X11/xserver/\fR,
|
||
|
|
\fB/usr/share/Xprint/xserver/\fR or
|
||
|
|
\fB/usr/openwin/server/etc/XpConfig\fR, depending on the
|
||
|
|
system, and may be configured in \fB/etc/init.d/xprint\fR.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB${LANG}\fR
|
||
|
|
This environment variable selects the locale settings used by the Xprint server.
|
||
|
|
Xprt allows language-specific settings (stored in \fB${XPCONFIGDIR}/${LANG}/print/\fR)
|
||
|
|
which will override the default settings (stored in \fB${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/\fR).
|
||
|
|
If \fB${LANG}\fR is not set "C" is assumed.
|
||
|

\fB${XPCONFIGDIR}/${LANG}/print/Xprinters\fR, \fB${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/Xprinters\fR
|
||
|
|
`Xprinters' is the top most configuration file. It tells
|
||
|
|
Xprt which specific printer names (e.g. mylaser) should
|
||
|
|
be supported, and whether \fBlpstat\fR(1) or other commands
|
||
|
|
should be used to automatically supplement the list of
|
||
|
|
printers.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB${XPCONFIGDIR}/${LANG}/print/attributes/printer\fR, \fB${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/attributes/printer\fR
|
||
|
|
The `printer' file maps printer names to model
|
||
|
|
configurations (see `model-config' below). For example,
|
||
|
|
"mylaser" could be mapped to a "HPDJ1600C", and all other
|
||
|
|
arbitrary printers could be mapped to a default, such as
|
||
|
|
"HPLJ4SI". When depending on \fBlpstat\fR(1) in the Xprinters
|
||
|
|
file, setting up defaults in `printer' becomes all the
|
||
|
|
more important.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB${XPCONFIGDIR}/${LANG}/print/attributes/document\fR, \fB${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/attributes/document\fR
|
||
|
|
The `document' file specifies the initial document values
|
||
|
|
for any print jobs. For example, which paper tray to
|
||
|
|
use, what default resolution, etc.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB${XPCONFIGDIR}/${LANG}/print/attributes/job\fR, \fB${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/attributes/job\fR
|
||
|
|
The `job' file specifies the initial job values for any
|
||
|
|
print jobs. For example, "notification-profile" can be
|
||
|
|
set so that when a print job is successfully sent to a
|
||
|
|
printer, e-mail is sent to the user.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/models/PSdefault/model\-config\fR, \fB${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/models/PSdefault/fonts/fonts.dir\fR, \fB${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/models/PSdefault/fonts/9nb00051.pmf\fR, \fB${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/models/PSdefault/fonts/9nb00093.pmf\fR
|
||
|
|
The `model-config' file has attributes that describe the
|
||
|
|
printer model's capabilities and default settings.
|
||
|
|
Printer model fonts may also be present. The model-config
|
||
|
|
file also identifies the print ddx driver to be used.
|
||
|
|
For each printer model supported, a complete hierarchy of
|
||
|
|
files should exist. In most cases, these files do not
|
||
|
|
need to be modified.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|

\fB${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/ddx\-config/raster/pdf\fR, \fB${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/ddx\-config/raster/pcl\fR, \fB${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/ddx\-config/raster/postscript\fR
|
||
|
|
The print ddx drivers can have highly specific
|
||
|
|
configuration files to control their behavior. In most
|
||
|
|
cases, these files do not need to be modified.
