When generating reports, filtering with the Contains option fails.

2.9.3 Landscape Mode

Driver profiles with Landscape mode do not work properly with some text editors like Notepad. In such cases, users must set Landscape mode manually.

Only Mozilla* Firefox* is supported for this task.

2.9.5 Vista

  • Windows Vista Home edition is not a supported iPrint platform in OES 2 SP1. Random issues have been reported by a few customers. Novell currently plans to address this issue after SP1 is released.

  • Admin credentials are needed to delete a printer on Vista 32-bit. However, it can be deleted by using the iprntcmd utility.

  • The iPrint dialog box on Vista and Windows Server* 2008 64-bit is intercepted by the Interactive Services dialog box. Click show the message to proceed. For more details, refer to Interactive Service dialog in the OES 2 SP2: iPrint for Linux Administration Guide.

  • A confusing error message displays if you attempt to upload print drivers from non-Vista workstations, such as Windows XP or Windows 2000.

    A more accurate message would be: Only Vista print drivers can be uploaded from Vista workstations.
