Novell Open Enterprise Server Administrators Handbook, SUSE LINUX Edition

Installing and Configuring iPrint

• Install iPrint as part of the server installation, or install it after the fact through YaST.

• Configure the Driver Store, iPrint Manager, and Printer objects through iManager.

• The Driver Store and iPrint Manager daemons are automatically started after configuration. If necessary, the /etc/init.d/novell-idsd and /etc/init.d/novell-ipsmd scripts can be used to start and stop the daemons.

• Use the Manage Printers page in iManager to configure printer objects.

Working with iPrint

• The iPrint client is required to access and manage iPrint printers. Install the client by going to the iPrint home page on your OES Linux server at http://<server_IP_address or DNS_name>/ipp.

Defining Print Options

• To tell the printer how to print a job (the paper form to use, format, and so on), open iManager and choose Manage Printer. Specify the printer and select the Configurations page to change printer configuration.

Printing Jobs

• To print files from within an application, simply follow the application's normal printing procedures (making sure the application is configured to print to a network printer).

• To cancel or move a print job, open iManager and choose Manage Printer. Specify the printer and select Printer Control, Jobs.
