Configuring iPrint


Using iManage for Network Management

iManage is a Web-based management utility to administer eDirectory objects. For information on using and configuring iManage, see the Novell iManage Administration Guide. Once iManage is installed and configured, you can manage iPrint. This includes the ability to create, delete, and modify printers and other NDPS objects.

The iPrint Management plug-in for iManage works only with Internet Explorer 5.5 with Service Pack 2.

If you encounter a "Page Not Found" error while running iManage, do the following:

  1. Check that you are running Internet Explorer 5.5 with Service Pack 2 installed.

  2. From Internet Explorer, click Tools > Internet Options > Advanced.

  3. Uncheck Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages.


Configuring iPrint Printers

Complete the following steps for printers that are already set up in NDPS. For more information on creating an NDPS printer, see Creating NDPS Printers in the Novell Distributed Print Services Administration Guide.

  1. From iManage, click iPrint Management > Manage Printer.

  2. Browse to and select the printer you want to enable IPP printing for.

  3. Click Client Support > IPP Support.

  4. Check the Enable IPP Access check box.

    The URL that appears in the Accepted IPP URL(s) box is the URL used when the printer is created on a workstation. This is also the URL you should use when creating map. For more information, see Using the iPrint Map Designer.

  5. (Optional) For secure printing, check the Require Security check box.

    This requires users to authenticate to eDirectory using their usernames and passwords.

  6. Click Apply or OK to update the printer settings.

The IPPSRVR.NLM is automatically loaded on the server where the printer's print services manager is running.


Disabling iPrint Services

  1. From iManage, click iPrint Management > Manage Printer.

  2. Browse to and select the Printer you want to modify.

  3. Click Client Support > IPP Support.

  4. Uncheck the Enable IPP Access check box.

  5. Click Apply or OK to update the printer settings.


Enabling iPrint on All Printers

To enable iPrint on all printers associated with a print services manager, complete the following:

  1. From iManage, click iPrint Management > Enable iPrint Access.

  2. Browse to and select the print service manager you want to enable IPP printing for.

  3. To enable all printers associated with this print services manager, check the first check box next to Enabled. To select printers individually, check the check boxes next to the printers in the Enabled Column that you want iPrint enabled for.

  4. (Optional) To enable all printers associated with this print services manager to use Secure printing, check the first check box next to Secure.

    To select secure printers for specific printers, check the check boxes next to each printer in the Secure column.
