1.0 Overview

The organizational needs of printing have changed from traditional desktop printing to printing from mobile devices, email-enabled devices, and so on.

All these features and much more are available with Micro Focus iPrint Appliance, a standalone version of iPrint. For more information, see Micro Focus iPrint Appliance Feature Tour.

With iPrint Advanced we are making all of these features available for our OES customers. The existing desktop printing features continues to work with OES iPrint.

The iPrint Advanced service would be running on an iPrint server. Hence, this guide refers the server running the iPrint Advanced service as an iPrint server.
