Installing the iPrint

Printer on the

Workstation

An iPrint printer can by locally installed on the workstation in two ways:

Using the iPrint Client

Using the MS Add Printer Wizard at the workstation.
See “Using the Add Printer Wizard” on page 64.

Installing the iPrint

Printer using the

iPrint Client.

In order for users to use iPrint, they need to install the Novell iPrint Client

software and a printer. When a user selects a printer to be installed by

iPrint, iPrint checks to see if the Novell iPrint Client software is installed

and then installs it if necessary. Then the printer driver is downloaded

and the printer is installed in the user's Printer folder.

In order for iPrint to work properly, the workstation should have the

following:

Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003

Web browser with JavaScript enabled:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later
• Netscape 4.76 (iPrint is not supported on Netscape 6)

The user should use the following iPrint url:

http://<IP address of your NW server>:631/IPP

1. From a Netscape or Internet Explorer browser, enter the provided URL.

A Web page displays a listing of available printers to install and a link to
install the client software.

2. Select

Install iPrint client software to locally install the iPrint printers. If

you try to install a printer before installing the iPrint client software, you
will be prompted to install the client software first.
If you associate a printer driver with a printer being installed, the driver is
automatically installed on the user's workstation. If the driver already exists,
that driver is overwritten even if it is a newer driver.

3. After installing a printer, it is added to the user's

Printer folder. Users can

print to the printer by selecting it from any application.
