Environment

Micro Focus iPrint Client for Windows

Situation

When submitting a print job to an iPrint printer, the name of the document shows within the Windows Printer Queue (Devices and Printers -> double-click the printer -> Job List dialog). All users which have that iPrint printer installed can see this list of document names.  This is a feature is a security risk for some organizations.

Resolution

With the following two requirements met, the document titles will not show in the Windows Printer Queue job dialog:
  • Install the Micro Focus iPrint Client version 6.09 or later.
  • Add the following string to the /var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/iprint.ini file
    • HideDocumentsOnWindowsPrintQueue=1
