Environment

iPrint Appliance 3.1

Situation

Some file types do not show the iPrint context menu when right clicking a file.

Resolution

This is working as designed.  iPrint Lite (iPrint context menu feature) identifies files based on the extension and renders them using the respective mime-types using the iPrint server renderer (local or remote).  Non-supported file types will not show the iPrint context menu icon.  The list of supported file types are:

.doc
.docx
.docm
.dotm
.gif
.png
.jpg
.jpeg
.xbm
.xpm
.pbm
.bmp
.odp
.ods
.odg
.odi
.odt
.xls
.xlsx
.xlsm
.xltm
.ppt
.pptx
.pptm
.ppsm
.potm
.tif
.tiff
.html
.pdf
.rtf
.csv
.js
.css
.txt
.xml

Additional Information

With the iPrint Client version 6.10 and later and the iPrint Appliance version 3.1 and later, an iPrint context menu icon will appear when right clicking a file.  The iPrint printer need not be installed for this feature to work.
