It may be used by +clients such as mozilla. +.PP +Xprint is a very flexible, extensible, scaleable, 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 altername Xprinters file (see section FILES). +.TP +\fB\-XpSpoolerType \fIspoolername\fB\fR +Defines the spooler system to be used for print job spooling. +Supported values in xprint.mozdev.org release 009 are: + +aix + +aix4 + +bsd + +osf + +solaris + +sysv + +uxp + +cups + +lprng + +other + +none + +(multiple values can be specified, seperated by ':', the first active spooler will be chosen). +The default value is platform-specific and can be obtained via + +.nf +Xprt \-h +.fi + +\&. +.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${LANG}\fR is not set "C" is assumed. +.PP +.SH FILES +.TP +\fB${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.
