2.9 What’s New (OES 11 SP1)

This section describes enhancements and changes to Novell iPrint for Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) 11 SP1.

  • Novell iPrint now runs on the OES 11 SP1 platform. Novell iPrint supports the SLES 11 base completely, along with its enhancements and hardware for its lifecycle.

  • Novell secure printing and iPrint Client Management features can now function without the Novell Client component. Users working on Windows / Active Directory environments now can have ICM and shared login abilities with or without the Novell Client.

  • Print driver transfer methods in iPrint Migration have been improved, and dependencies on other stacks have been reduced to increase reliability and robustness. iPrint Migration has also been enhanced in areas such as Print Driver transfer and Driver Platform selection.

  • The iprintman utility now runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux clients, and has been rewritten to use the Java IPP libraries for performing various operations.

    NOTE:This feature is under development and might not function as expected in all cases. Novell plans to complete development in a future OES release.

Novell iPrint in OES 11 SP1 has been modified to run on 64-bit SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 SP2. In addition to bug fixes, iPrint provides the following enhancements and behavior changes in the OES 11 SP1 release:
