You can configure the local and remote renderer to use multiple drivers for different mobile enabled printer agents. The renderer installs the unique drivers associated with various mobile enabled printer agents, on the renderer machine. During the rendering of jobs, the correct printer driver is selected based on the printer agent to which the job is being submitted for rendering.If a printer agent does not have any driver associated with the renderer platform, the renderer uses the default driver for rendering the jobs sent to those printer agents. You can select a default driver when adding a renderer from the iPrint Console. Also, an option to change the default drivers is available.
For information on how to upload drivers to the Driver Store, see Managing Printer Drivers in the OES 2018 SP2: iPrint Administration Guide.
The remote renderer can communicate over secure and non-secure channels with the iPrint server. By default, the iPrint Advanced server is set to communicate in non-secure modes.
Secure Communication Mode: When this mode is used, only the secure remote renderers can communicate with the iPrint server.
Non-secure Communication Mode: When this mode is used, both secure and non-secure remote renderers can communicate with the iPrint server.
You can verify the mode of the renderer in the Renderers page under the Secure Mode column.
If the Secure Mode column displays false, then the renderer is in a non-secure communication mode.
If the Secure Mode column displays true, then the renderer is in a secure communication mode.
The local and remote renderer supports the Automatic Driver Update feature. When a printer driver is updated on the Drive Store, or if the association of a particular printer agent is changed, the driver is automatically updated on the renderer.
Local Renderer: All the jobs submitted for printing is rendered by the driver that is currently associated with the printer. However, the first print job that is sent for printing after the driver association change may take some time to be rendered depending on the size of the driver.
Remote Renderer: All the jobs submitted for printing is rendered by the driver that is currently associated with the printer. However, the first print job that is sent for printing after the driver association change may take some time to be rendered depending on the size of the driver. This is because the remote renderer installs the driver first and then processes it for rendering.
If a printer is renamed or redirected through the iPrint Console, the remote renderer automatically updates its Advanced server to associate the correct printer drivers with the printer.
When you redirect a printer, the printer driver associated with the destination printer is used for rendering.
