Environment

OES 2018 SP1 
iPrint for OES 2018 SP1
WebAccess 2018

Situation

When trying to install a printer from the /printer page, an error is displayed:
Error installing printer
iPrint printer unknown printing error 1344

Resolution

Configure Webaccess rewriter to not intercept iPrint calls.

Follow TID 7023766, Resolution B

Then restart apache, idsd and ipsmd services:
rcapache2 restart;rcnovell-idsd restart;rcnovell-ipsmd restart

Cause

Webaccess rewriter is intercepting the Apache calls to idsd, hence the driver associated to that printer could not be copied to the mod_ipp directory.
