Resolution
Resolution #1:
Stop Zone Alarm. A reboot of the workstation may be required. If Zone Alarm is not installed on the workstation, then look for other firewall programs running on the workstation.
Resolution #2
1. Open up the registry using regedit and modify the following value.
Old Value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Providers\Novell iPrint Services]
"Name"="nipp95.dll"
"Name"="nipp95.dll"
New Value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Providers\Novell iPrint Services]
"Name"="nippnt.dll"
"Name"="nippnt.dll"
Resolution #3
Left-over data in the registry from a previous install can keep the printer from installing properly. This can be resolved via the following steps:
1. Start -> Run -> regedit
2. Browse to: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\<PLATFORM>\Drivers
3. If there is a key here that matches the printer description of the printer you are trying to install, delete that entire key.
4. Try the installation of the printer again.
Additional Information
A firewall installed on the workstation is preventing a successful connection between the iPrint client and IPPSRVR running on the NetWare server.
