Depending on your current print system, you can upgrade to iPrint running on Linux by using one of the following methods:
To upgrade from iPrint on OES 1 to OES 2, follow the steps in Upgrading to OES 2 SP3
in the OES 2 SP3: Installation Guide.
To upgrade from iPrint on OES 1 to OES 2, follow the steps in Upgrading to OES 2 SP3
in the OES 2 SP3: Installation Guide.
To upgrade iPrint on an existing OES 2 Linux server, apply the latest Support Pack patches. For more information, see Upgrading to OES 2 SP3
in the OES 2 SP3: Installation Guide.
IMPORTANT:When you upgrade or apply a support pack, the existing iprint.ini file is overwritten by the one in the update. If you made changes to the iprint.ini file, you should back up the file before installing the updates, and then copy your old one over the new file. If you want new functionality included with the latest iprint.ini, you should duplicate the settings in iprint.bak in the new iprint.ini. For more information on iprint.ini refer, Section 4.5.6, Manage Global Actions through Iprint.ini.
See Section 5.0, Migrating iPrint from NetWare 6.5 SP8 to OES 2 SP3 Linux for more information.
To migrate your existing NDPS print system serviced by NetWare 6.5 SP8 to an OES Linux server, complete the following tasks:
Set up DNS for your existing system.
For more information, see Setting Up DNS for the Print Manager
in the NW 6.5 SP8: iPrint Administration Guide.
Upgrade your NDPS Print system to iPrint.
For more information, see Upgrading from NDPS to iPrint
in the NW 6.5 SP8: iPrint Administration Guide.
Distribute the iPrint Client.
For more information, see Windows: Distributing the iPrint Client
in the NW 6.5 SP8: iPrint Administration Guide.
Edit the UpgradeNDPSPrinters entry in iprint.ini.
For more information, see Upgrading NDPS Printers to iPrint Printers
in the NW 6.5 SP8: iPrint Administration Guide.
Run the Server Consolidation Utility.
For more information, see Consolidating NDPS Printer Agents
in the Novell Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit Administration Guide.
Reconfigure DNS to point to the new server.
To replace an existing Windows Print System with an OES Linux iPrint server, use the iPrint Migration Utility for Windows Printing, which is available separately. See the documentation included with the Migration Utility for more information.
