Configuring Advanced Server for UNIX
Setting up the spool server
The spool server administers several supervisors and the jobs that you have processed.
Among other things, it distributes the print jobs to the different supervisors.
Log onto the system as system administrator root.
Ê
Check whether SPOOL V4.x has been started using xpstat for example; if necessary,
Ê
start it with:
xpstart
i
Set up the spool server srv_asx for Advanced Server for UNIX server:
Ê
xpadd -srv srv_asx
Activate this spool server with:
Ê
xpchange -srv srv_asx -stACTIVE -siON -soON
You can also use an existing spool server for AS/X.
Setting up the supervisor
The supervisor is responsible for printing jobs which it receives from the spool server. The
jobs are printed on printers which are controlled by this supervisor.
Ê Add the supervisor spv_asx to the spool server srv_asx:
xpadd -spv spv_asx -se srv_asx
Activate the supervisor with:
Ê
xpchange -spv spv_asx -stACTIVE
You can also use an existing supervisor for AS/X.
Adding the printer to the supervisor
A supervisor can manage several printers with different printer drivers (e.g. PostScript
HP Laserjet
Ê Add a printer (e.g. with the name asxp_hpl for HP Laserjet printer driver) to the super-
visor spv_asx, in which case the PCL (Printer Control Language) HP-LASERJET should
be set:
xpadd -dev asxp_hpl -da <devicename> -ho <host name> -pc HP-LASERJET -su
spv_asx -aa

executed print job, for example. For accurate identification, the spool server must
be assigned a name with a maximum of 7 characters. Use the lowercase letters
