Using ZENworks to Distribute iPrint

Auto-client Update

posted on a Web server for users to access. As users view the maps, they find
a printer close to their location to install and then click a printer icon. The
client software (if not yet installed) and the printer are installed on their
workstation.

You can use ZENworks to distribute the Novell iPrint Client and printers to
users' workstations. Following the ZENworks instructions, you take a
snapshot of a workstation before installing the client and another snapshot
after. ZENworks creates a list of files to install and makes the necessary
changes to the Windows Registry.
You could also use ZENworks to install an HTML file on the users'
workstations that would take them to your iPrint Web site. This would save
you from having to distribute a URL to your users. Many other
implementations are at your fingertips depending on your specific needs. For
more information on using ZENworks, see the
www.novell.com/documentation)
Periodically, users will need to update their Novell iPrint client. When a user
boots his machine, iPrint checks the default printer to ensure the user is using
the latest Novell iPrint Client. When needed, a newer client is installed. Using
a configuration file, you can control how this update takes place.
An IPRINT.INI file is located in SYS:\LOGIN\IPPDOCS on each server
where iPrint is installed is This file controls if the user should be prompted
before the updated client is installed or if the updated client should be installed
without user intervention. When the client is installed without user
intervention, the user will still see the installation program.
Using a text editor, edit the IPRINT.INI file to reflect the settings you want.
Information on the different settings is contained in the file.
IMPORTANT:
The IPRINT.INI file should be synchronized across all servers
running where iPrint and a NDPS Manager are running.
