iPrint Administration Guide
To enable users to use iPrint, you must give them the iPrint URL, which is
http://server_IP_ address_or_dns_name:631/IPP.
For example, if the DNS name is printing.mycompany.com, then the user
would access IPP from the following URL:
http://printing.mycompany.com:631/ipp
If users need to print through a secure port using SSL, they should use port
443. This requires users to authenticate using their eDirectory
and passwords. Using the above example, this URL would be the following:
https://printing.mycompany.com:443/ipp
From a Netscape or Internet Explorer browser, users enter the URL provided.
A Web page displays a listing of available printers they can install and a link
to install the client software. Users should select Install iPrint client software
to install the client pieces required. If they try to install a printer before
installing the iPrint client software, they are prompted to install the client
software first.
If you associate a printer driver with a printer being installed, the driver is
automatically installed on the user's workstation. If the driver already exists,
the driver is overwritten even if it is a newer driver.
After installing a printer, it is added to the user's Printer folder. Users can print
to the printer by selecting the printer from any application. For more
information on using Resource Management Systems in NDPS
and update printer drivers, see
Installed in the Novell Distributed Print Services Administration Guide.
Location-based printing lets users select printers based on location by using a
list view or a map. Using a list view, printer locations can be displayed by
building, office location, eDirectory context, etc. You can configure the lists
in a way that best suits the users' needs.

Using the iPrint Map Designer, you can create maps of printer locations by
using drag-and-drop technology. Once the maps are created, they can be
