1.4 Installing Printers
Depending on how your administrator has configured your iPrint system, you install iPrint printers
in one of the following ways. Contact your administrator for details on how you should access the
iPrint system.
•
Section 1.4.1, "Using the iPrint Printer List Web Page," on page 11
•
Section 1.4.2, "Using Location-Based Printing Web Pages," on page 11
1.4.1 Using the iPrint Printer List Web Page
iPrint generates a list of printers associated with a Print Manager that can be used to install the iPrint
Client, install an iPrint printer, or check the status and configuration of a printer including a list of
print jobs.
1 Enter the iPrint URL in your Web browser Address field.
The iPrint Printer List is located at http://server_IP_ address_or_dns_name/ipp.
2 From the list of available printers, select the printer you want to install.
During the printer installation, iPrint downloads and installs the printer driver called a PPD file,
if one is associated with the printer, and installs the printer on the user's workstation. The first
time a printer is installed, this PPD file is forced to the workstation, even if the workstation
contains a newer PPD file.
1.4.2 Using Location-Based Printing Web Pages
Location-based printing lets you use your Web browser to select printers based on locations by
using a list view or a map, both of which are created by your iPrint administrator.
1.5 Removing iPrint Printers
To remove iPrint printers, use the CUPS management utility included with your Linux distribution.
GNOME* users can use the printer folder in Computer > Control Center > Printers, and KDE users
can use the Printing Manager by clicking the main menu button > Tools > Printing > Printing
Manager.
GNOME users of SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop cannot delete printers. If security is not an issue
and you are running the low-security iPrint Linux Client, you can use the following instructions to
configure GNOME so that all desktop users can add and delete printers.
WARNING: The following procedure should be implemented only if security is not an issue,
because it lets all users of the desktop access the print system.
1 On the SLED workstation, log in as root.
2 Edit /etc/sudoers and add the following line to the end of the file:
ALL ALL = NOPASSWD: /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-cups-manager
3 Edit /opt/gnome/share/control-center-2.0/capplets/
printconf.desktop by doing the following:
• Change TryExec=gnome-cups-manager to TryExec=gnome-cups-manager-root.
