Environment
Micro Focus iPrint Appliance 3.0
Situation
iPrint Appliance version 3.0 introduces the ability to hide printers from end users within the new iPrint Portal page (https://<address>/print/). However, the printers are still accessible through the /ipp page (http://<address>/ipp).
Resolution
The /var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/pcontrol.htm file is called when attempting to load the /ipp page. To disable the /ipp page, rename the pcontrol.htm file. An example command to do this is:
mv /var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/pcontrol.htm /var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/pcontrol.bak
With the pcontrol.htm file renamed, end users will see the generic Object not found! Error 404 when attempting to load the /ipp page.
mv /var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/pcontrol.htm /var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/pcontrol.bak
With the pcontrol.htm file renamed, end users will see the generic Object not found! Error 404 when attempting to load the /ipp page.
Additional Information
To manage which printers are visible from the iPrint Portal page:
- https://<address>:9443
- Click the Printers link on the left pane.
- Click the name of the printer.
- Manage this feature through the "Visible to all users in the iPrint Portal" check box.
