9.2.2 Creating a Print Manager

You need to create at least one Print Manager for your print system; however, depending on your
network setup, you can create additional Print Managers, for example, across a WAN link. The Print
Manager must be running in order to create printers.
NOTE: The Print Manager creates a URL for each printer based on the print manager configuration.
When you create the print manager, you can specify an IP address or DNS name for the iPrint
Service. You should always use a DNS name because using an IP address causes users to delete and
reinstall printers if the IP address changes.
1 In iManager, click iPrint > Create Print Manager.
2 Fill in the fields. Click the help for explanations about the fields.
3 Leave the Start Print Manager after Creation check box checked.
4 Click OK.

9.2.3 Creating a Printer

Before you can create a printer, you must first create a Print Manager on your server.
1 In iManager, click iPrint > Create Printer.
2 Follow the prompts and fill in the fields. Click the help for explanations about the fields.
3 Click Next, then select the drivers for this printer.
4 Click Next to create the printer.

After the Driver Store is created, the daemon is loaded on the server, and you can start
uploading drivers.
If you do not do this, you must start the Print Manager by using Manage Print Manager >
Manager Control in iManager or entering /etc/init.d./novell-ipsmd start at a
command prompt.
After the Driver Store is created, the daemon is loaded on the server and you can start adding
printer drivers.
If the printer drivers for this printer are not listed, you can still create the printer. After the
printer is created, add the printer drivers to the Driver Store and then associate the drivers to the
printer by clicking Manage Printer > Drivers.
