Additional Configuration for Secure Printers with GNOME

Users of the GNOME desktop that are printing to secure printers (printers that require you to authenticate) must add the iprint-listener to the list of applications launched at login; otherwise, print jobs are not be submitted to the secure printer.

NOTE:  This does not apply when printing to nonsecure printers or using the KDE desktop.

  1. From the GNOME desktop, click System > Personal Settings.

  2. Under the System section, click Sessions.

  3. Click the Startup Programs tab > Add.

  4. For the Startup Command, enter /opt/novell/iprint/bin/iprint-listener.

  5. Click OK > Close.

  6. Load the iprint-listener by either running the command in Step 4 or by logging out and logging in again.

The iprint-listener is automatically loaded the next time you log in.

If iprint-listener is not running, jobs submitted to secure iPrint printers are held in the local client queue. To release the jobs, start iprint-listener, and then resume the job on the printer.
