2 Add a printer driver to the Driver Store or Broker for each printer/platform combination
needed.
For example, If you have Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Novell Linux Desktop (NLD)
workstations on your network and you have four different printer types, you need to add four
printer drivers for each platform (a total of 12 printer drivers) to the Driver Store or Broker.
You add printer drivers to the store through iManager. For specific instructions, see
Printer Drivers" in the
3 Create a Print Manager object.
The Print Manager receives print jobs from users and forwards them to the target printer when
it is ready. The Print Manager must be running for you to create Printer objects.
The Print Manager is an object you create in eDirectory and is usually started and stopped
through iManager.
You create the Print Manager object through iManager. For specific instructions, see
a Print Manager" in the
4 Create Printer objects.
You must create a Printer object for each printer you want users to access through iPrint. These
objects store information about the printer that is used each time the printer is installed on a
workstation.
You create Printer objects through iManager. For specific instructions, see
in the OES 2 SP3: iPrint for Linux Administration Guide
5 (Optional) Create location-based, customized printing Web pages.
By default, each iPrint installation includes the creation of a Default Printer List Web page that
users can access to install iPrint printers.
You have the option of enhancing the browsing experience by creating location-based printing
Web pages that feature either lists of printers by location, maps of the buildings showing each
printer, or a combination of both.
If your organization is located at multiple sites or even in a building with multiple floors,
providing location-based print Web pages can greatly simplify printing for your users.
Your iPrint installation contains the iPrint Map Designer to help you easily create location
maps with clickable printer icons. For more information, see
Printing" in the OES 2 SP3: iPrint for Linux Administration Guide
6 Provide instructions to users for accessing iPrint printers.
After performing the steps above, your network is ready for iPrint functionality. You need only
tell users how to access your printing Web pages; Novell iPrint does the rest.
