iPrint Administration Guide
Before you set up iPrint, you must have the following:
NDPS Broker:Provides network support services. For more information,
see Creating NDPS Brokers
Administration Guide.
Print Services Manager: Provides a platform for printer agents. When
IPP printing is configured for a printer, the print services manager loads
the IPP software, IPPSRVR.NLM.
For more information, see
Distributed Print Services Administration Guide.
NDPS Printer Object: Represents the printer and is associated to a
printer agent that combines the functions previously performed by a
printer, print queue, print server, and spooler.
For more information, see
Distributed Print Services Administration Guide.
iManage : Provides browser-based management of Novell eDirectory
For more information on iManage, see
Guide.
Each server that is running the print services manager loads IPPSRVR.NLM
when iPrint is enabled for a printer associated with that manager. Prior to
configuring printers for iPrint, you should configure a DNS name for each
print services manager. This lets you move the print services manager to a
different server while maintaining the iPrint URLs for the associated printers;
otherwise, iPrint will no longer work.
To correctly enable DNS for each print services manager, first

NOTE:
If DNS is not set up for the print services manager and the manager is
moved to another server, users will have to reinstall their iPrint printers.
If a DNS name is added to the print services manager after iPrint is set up, iPrint
printers enabled before the DNS will not use the DNS name until the manager is
restarted.
If users install printers prior to the DNS name being added, their printing will work
only until the IP address of the print services manager changes. Then users will
have to reinstall their printers.
