The Novell iPrint app prints documents from mobile devices using the IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) method. IPP is a standard network protocol for remote printing and print management. The print server converts the documents to a printer friendly format, and sends it to the printer for printing.
There are two kinds of email printing:
Printing using the email client: Novell iPrint contains an email printing feature. You can print documents from any device capable of sending emails. Using just a few commands in the subject line of the email, you can print documents by emailing them to your printer as attachments. For more information on email printing and commands, see Section 3.0, Novell iPrint Email Commands.
Email printing through the app: The Novell iPrint app uses Direct IPP printing by default. If Direct IPP printing fails, and if email printing is enabled by the administrator, the app switches over to email printing as a fallback option. The Novell iPrint app generates an email, attaches the document to the email, and sends the email to the print server for printing.
IMPORTANT:For enhanced security, email printing to secure printers is disabled.
AirPrint is a printing technology created by Apple for iOS devices. iOS devices can print to any AirPrint-enabled printer, wirelessly, using Appleās driverless printing architecture. Novell iPrint takes advantage of this technology by enabling non-AirPrint-enabled printers to be published as AirPrint printers over the wireless network. You can print documents and images seamlessly from your iOS devices over the wireless network. iOS devices do not require a software download or driver installation. With just a few taps from any AirPrint-enabled iOS application (for example, Mail, Photos, Safari, and iBooks), you can print to an iPrint AirPrint-enabled printer.
NOTE:AirPrint credentials are managed by the iOS device. If you print to a secure AirPrint printer by providing your credentials, the credentials are stored, and you are not prompted for the credentials when you print to that printer in future.
QR code is a machine-readable code which consists of a matrix of white and black squares. It is used to store URLs and other information that smart phone cameras can read.
The Novell iPrint app on iOS and Android platforms enables you to print documents and images by simply scanning the QR Code of a printer.
