19.2 Planning for Print Services
Consider the following information as you plan your iPrint installation:
Š
We recommend that you record your decisions in planning notes for future reference.
Access Authentication Printing Services
The iPrint Client must be installed
on each workstation accessing
iPrint services.
A user needing to use a printer
for the first time accesses the
organization’s print page on the
Web.
When the user selects the target
printer, its platform-specific driver
is automatically installed and
configured.
After printer installation, users
can print to the printer from any
application.
You can require authentication for
Windows users if needed. The
option to require authentication is
not available for Linux and
Macintosh users.
Although shown separately,
eDirectory could be installed on
the OES 2 server.
Users with the iPrint Client
installed and access to the OES 2
server can install printer drivers
and print to iPrint printers.
By default, iPrint generates a
printer list for the printers hosted
on the server.
A customized Web page lets
users browse to the target printer
by using location lists and maps
that you have previously created
for the site where the printer is
located.
