+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+
+ <para><command>Xprt</command> is the Xprint print server
+ for version 11 of the X Window system for non display devices
+ such as printers and fax machines.</para>
+
+ <para>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 <application>mozilla</application>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>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.
+ </para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>USAGE</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Although Xprt may be invoked from the command line, it is
+ preferable to run it as a daemon via the init script
+ <filename>/etc/init.d/xprint</filename> (where this script exists).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>Client programs such as mozilla will require environment
+ variable <envar>${XPSERVERLIST}</envar> to be set, identifying the
+ "display" on which Xprt is running. This variable may be set
+ for all users via <filename>/etc/profile</filename> (or similar), using
+ <userinput>/etc/init.d/xprint get_xpserverlist</userinput>:
+ <informalexample>
+ <programlisting>export XPSERVERLIST=`/etc/init.d/xprint get_xpserverlist`</programlisting>
+ </informalexample>
+ </para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>OPTIONS</title>
+
+ <para>Many of Xprt's command line options are shared in common
+ with the usual X servers (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>Xserver</refentrytitle><manvolnum>__appmansuffix__</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
+ Commonly used options include:</para>
+
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>:<replaceable>display</replaceable></option>
+ </term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para> 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 <filename>/etc/init.d/xprint</filename> is used
+ to invoke Xprt, it may be configured to automatically assign an available
+ display number.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>-ac</option>
+ </term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>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.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>-audit <replaceable>level</replaceable></option>
+ </term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>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.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>-fp <replaceable>fontpath</replaceable></option>
+ </term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>sets the search path for fonts. This path is a comma
+ separated list of directories which Xprt searches for
+ font databases.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>-pn</option>
+ </term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>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.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>-XpFile <replaceable>file</replaceable></option>
+ </term>
+ <listitem>

+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>-XpSpoolerType <replaceable>spoolername</replaceable></option>

+ <listitem>
+ <para> 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
+ <filename>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/</filename>,
+ <filename>/usr/lib/X11/xserver/</filename>,
+ <filename>/usr/share/Xprint/xserver/</filename> or

+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><envar>${LANG}</envar></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ This environment variable selects the locale settings used by the Xprint server.
+ Xprt allows language-specific settings (stored in <filename>${XPCONFIGDIR}/${LANG}/print/</filename>)
+ which will override the default settings (stored in <filename>${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/</filename>).
+ If <envar>${LANG}</envar> is not set "C" is assumed.

+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ `Xprinters' is the top most configuration file. It tells
+ Xprt which specific printer names (e.g. mylaser) should
+ be supported, and whether <citerefentry><refentrytitle>lpstat</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> or other commands
+ should be used to automatically supplement the list of

+ <term><filename>${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/attributes/printer</filename></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ 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 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>lpstat</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> in the Xprinters
+ file, setting up defaults in `printer' becomes all the
+ more important.

+ <para>
+ The `model-config' file has attributes that describe the

+ Printer model fonts may also be present. The model-config

+
+ For each printer model supported, a complete hierarchy of
+ files should exist. In most cases, these files do not
