Administering devices Configuring Xprint V7.0
Example
– The old printer printer1 used the PCL HP_LASERJET but the new printer is
a PostScript printer:
xpmod -dev printer1 -pc POSTSCRIPT -ct-
The -ct- option makes sure that the data format of the printer is adjusted
to the default, which depends on the PCL.
You can only modify a PCL assigned to a printer if all the other printer
options are compatible.
Example: A printer is defined via -pc HP_LASERJET and the default
form LANDSCAPE (-ls LANDSCAPE). In this case, you can only modify the
printer to EPSON-FX with the -pc option if you first modify the default
form to PORTRAIT.
6.4.8 Assigning a security level to a printer
Under Xprint V7.0 one of five security levels can be assigned to printers as well
as to print jobs and users.
Xprint V7.0 assigns print jobs to a printer according to the security level of the
job and the printer. This means that a print job can only be printed on a printer
with at least the same security level. A print job with the security level
CONFIDENTIAL, for example, can only be printed on printers with the security level
CONFIDENTIAL or higher (SECRET, TOP_SECRET).
● Log in as the Xprint V7.0 administrator.
● If required, deactivate the printer:
xpchange -dev printer_name -st NOT_ACTIVE [-ju justification]
For printer_name specify the name of the printer whose security level you
want to modify.
With the -ju justification option, you can define a comment justifying the new
security level. This comment can be displayed with the xpstat -dev
command. The comment is automatically deleted when the -st option is
changed again with the xpchange -dev command.
● To assign a specific security level to a printer, use the following command:
xpmod -dev [selection] -sl security_level
