The above clients do not affect installation of the iPrint Client, just access to the workstation print
system. To install the iPrint Client you still need root permissions. Also, these clients do not limit
printing capabilities.
IMPORTANT: To install the iPrint Client you need root permissions. To upload drivers from the
system, you need to be defined with lppasswd or know the root password; otherwise, when you
attempt to add drivers from the system, the driver list is blank. To define a user to be part of
lppasswd, you can use the following command:
lppasswd -a linux_user_account -g sys
For more information on the client installed on your SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop workstation,
consult with your network administrator.
1.2.1 Printing to Secure printers
When installing a secure iPrint printer, you might be prompted twice for your username and
password. First you are prompted to provide your network credentials to verify that you have access
to the printer (it would be no use installing a printer that would not allow you to print). The second
prompt is for CUPS to ensure you have rights to install printers on the client machine. Each time you
perform a print operation with a secure printer, you are prompted for your username and password.
If you installed CASA (Common Authentication Services Adapter), your credentials are cached.
Printing to secure printers is supported only when you are logged in to the desktop. If for any reason
the CUPS iPrint backend cannot deliver the job to a secure printer, the job is requeued on the client
with a hold. You can then see the held job and release it after you log in to the desktop.
