You can configure iPrint printers by using ZENworks Control Center or by using the zman command line utility. In addition, you can use the IPPman utility to perform repetitive and mass operations on printer policies that have an iPrint printer matching a specific iPrint URI or matching a specific search criteria.
For more information on creating printer policies by using ZENworks Control Center, see Section 3.5, Printer Policy.
For more information on creating printer policies by using zman command line utility, see ZENworks Command Line Utilities
.
Review the following sections for more information on using the IPPman commands:
To create a new iPrint printer configuration for all the policies that match specific printer URI criteria:
Create the iPrint printer configuration file.
For information on creating the iPrint printer configuration file, see Section C.3, Understanding the Format of the iPrint Printer Configuration File.
Use the ippman create command to create a new iPrinter printer for all the printer policies that have an iPrint printer with the URI specified in the command.
The printer name and the printing preferences for the new iPrinter printer are specified in the iPrint printer configuration file.
On a ZENworks server, enter the command as follows:
ippman create -uri iprint_printer_uri -conf iprint_printer_configuration file -username username -password password
Example:
ippman create -uri ipp://10.0.0.0/ipp/Printer1 -conf "c:\\printerdata.xml" -username Administrator -password xxxxx
On a device other than the ZENworks server, enter the command as follows:
ippman create -uri iprint_printer_uri -conf iprint_printer_configuration file -server ZENworks_server_ip -port port_number -username username -password password
Example:
ippman create -uri ipp://10.0.0.0/ipp/Printer1 -conf "c:\\printerdata.xml" -server 10.0.0.0 -port 80 -username Administrator -password xxxxx
