11.8 Windows Terminal Servers

You can set up iPrint on a terminal server to allow terminal server clients to install the iPrint Client and print to iPrint printers.

11.8.1 Installing the iPrint Client on a Terminal Server

  1. Log in to the terminal server with Administrator or equivalent rights.

  2. Install the iPrint Client.

    You can download the iPrint Client from the iPrint Appliance Welcome page or copy and execute nipp.exe from the iPrint server in sys:\apache2\htdocs\ippdocs.

NOTE:On terminal servers, the client auto-update does not work. To update the client with a newer release, you must install it manually.

11.8.2 Configuring iPrint for Terminal Server Clients

You can configure iPrint to work in any of the following ways, depending on the rights the terminal server client has.

  • Install user printers only: User printers can only be installed and deleted by the user who installed the printer. User printers are not available to other users on the workstation.

  • Install workstation printers only: Workstation printers can be installed and deleted only by users with sufficient rights. After a workstation printer is installed, all users using the workstation can print to it.

  • Try to install workstation printer first: If the user has insufficient rights to install the printer, the printer is installed as a user printer.

To configure iPrint for terminal server clients:

  1. Log in to the terminal server with Administrator or equivalent rights.

  2. Click Start > Programs > Novell iPrint > iPrint Settings.

  3. Click Terminal Server, then select the configuration option you want.

  4. Click OK.
