
iPrint has no additional RAM requirements.

Most iPrint installations (even in large enterprises) do not require additional disk space for
associated print job spooling.
However, if you anticipate very heavy print usage and want to plan for additional disk space in
that regard, the iPrint spooler area is located in the
2 servers. On NetWare servers, you designate the location when creating the Print Manager
object.

To finish planning your iPrint installation, refer to the information in
2 SP3: Installation Guide

19.3 Coexistence and Migration of Print Services

If you select iPrint during the OES server installation, the iPrint software components are
automatically installed on the server. Although the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS)
software is also installed with SLES 10, CUPS is disabled to avoid port 631 conflicts.
For information on upgrading from NetWare queue-based printing, Novell Distributed Print
Services (NDPS), or previous versions of iPrint, see
iPrint Administration
For more information on configuring iPrint on OES, see
Server" in the
In OES SP2, migrating iPrint services from a NetWare server to an OES 2 server is supported by the
OES 2 Migration Tool. For more information, see

19.4.1 Initial Setup

After your OES 2 server is installed, you must do the following to complete your iPrint installation:
1 Create a Driver Store on OES 2 or a Broker on NetWare 6.5 SP8 to store the print drivers.
These eDirectory objects store the drivers for your network printers on Linux and NetWare
servers, respectively. Each Printer object you create for your network needs to reference a
printer driver in Driver Store/Broker. When users subsequently install printers, the correct
drivers for the platform running on their workstation are downloaded from the Driver Store and
installed.
You create the Driver Store through iManager. For specific instructions, see
