Scenario 1: Printing across the Internet

Scenario 2: Mobile Users

John is an employee working at home who wants to send a document to a
printer at his office. John does not remember how to dial into the company's
network, but he has access to the Internet.
1. After the administrator has set up iPrint, he will need to enable a port on
his firewall to allow access to the company's intranet from the Internet.
For security, the administrator should enable port 443, which uses SSL.
Port 443 requires users to authenticate using their eDirectory username
and password. If a user does not have an eDirectory account, then the
administrator can use the unsecured port 631.
2. John points his Web browser to the URL, http://server_IP_address_
or_DNS_name:443/ipp.
3. From the Web page, John selects the printer to install. The iPrint client is
automatically downloaded and installed on the computer. The printer
driver is also downloaded and the printer installed in the workstation's
Printer folder.
4. From any application on his home computer, John can now print to the
company's printer.
Gail is visiting her company's branch office in Dallas, Texas. She needs to
print a presentation for an upcoming meeting. Outside of the office she is
using is a printer, but she does not know the printer's name, eDirectory
context, make, model, or required print driver. Gail has used iPrint in a
different branch office and she knows that a link to iPrint is available from the
company's intranet Web page.
1. Gail connects her laptop to the company network, clicks the iPrint link on
the company's intranet Web page, and then clicks a link for the branch
office she is visiting. A map of the branch office and iPrint printers
displays.
2. Gail locates the office she is using and clicks the printer icon just outside
the office door.
3. The print driver is dowloaded and a printer is created in the user's Printer
folder. She didn't need to install the iPrint client software again because
she had used iPrint previously at a different branch office.
4. From her presentation application, Gail prints her presentation for the
upcoming meeting.
