Resolution
Workaround 1: Change the Admin password
Change the iPrint Appliance eDirectory admin passwords on both the Driver Store server and the remote iPrint server to match. Do not use iManager to change the admin password. Instead, use this command at a terminal session:/opt/novell/bin/iprint_edir_change_passwd.shWorkaround 2: Don't use iManager to assign printer drivers
Use a command line tool to assign printer drivers to printer agents:
Note: driver-win1064 updates the driver associate for both Windows 10 64 bit and Windows 8 64 bit. The same is true for driver-win864Syntax:iprntman printer [PRINTERNAME] -m --driver-win1064 "[DRIVERNAME]" -u cn=admin,o=iPrintApplianceExample:iprntman printer HPLJ-3rdFloor -m --driver-win1064 "Xerox Phaser 6360 Series Class Driver" -u cn=admin,o=iPrintAppliance
Additional Information
Each iPrint server has the ability to host a Driver Store service. In the situation described in this document, one or more of the iPrint Servers does NOT host printer drivers, but instead points to a remote driver store. This remote driver store option is configured by:
- go the https://<ip or dns>:9443
- Choose Manage iPrint Appliance
- Choose Driver Store
- Left menu item
- Within this page, you can choose "Remote" under the "Store Printer Drivers:" section.
