To enable users to use iPrint, you must give them the iPrint URL, which is http://server_IP_ address_or_dns_name:631/IPP.
For example, if the DNS name is printing.mycompany.com, then the user would access IPP from the following URL:
http://printing.mycompany.com:631/ipp
If users need to print through a secure port using SSL, they should use port 443. This requires users to authenticate using their eDirectoryTM usernames and passwords. Using the above example, this URL would be the following:
https://printing.mycompany.com:443/ipp
From a Netscape or Internet Explorer browser, users enter the URL provided. A Web page displays a listing of available printers they can install and a link to install the client software. Users should select Install iPrint client software to install the client pieces required. If they try to install a printer before installing the iPrint client software, they are prompted to install the client software first.
If you associate a printer driver with a printer being installed, the driver is automatically installed on the user's workstation. If the driver already exists, the driver is overwritten even if it is a newer driver.
After installing a printer, it is added to the user's Printer folder. Users can print to the printer by selecting the printer from any application. For more information on using Resource Management Systems in NDPS® to distribute and update printer drivers, see Designating Printers to Be Automatically Installed in the Novell Distributed Print Services Administration Guide.
