4.1 Overview

After you install the Open Enterprise Server components on your server (including iPrint), you need to start and configure iPrint. For complete management, you need to access iManager and iPrint Management Client. See, Section 10.0, OES iPrint Advanced on Client Workstations.

For a review of supported browsers and iPrint operations, see Section B.0, Supported Browsers for iPrint.

  • Run iManager from the operating system in which you want to upload the print driver. For example, to upload a Windows 8 print driver, you must run Internet Explorer from a Windows 8 workstation. For more information, see the iManager Web site.

  • Create a Driver Store: A Driver Store is a repository where administrators add printer drivers and PPD files used for their print system.

  • Add printer drivers and PPD files: To save the extra step of associating driver files when you create printers, you should add printer drivers to the Driver Store before you create printers.

  • Create a Print Manager: The Print Manager communicates print job information between users and printers while also providing print job management, security, and spooling.

    For more information, see Creating Additional Print Managers.

  • Create Printers: This task helps you create printers for your system and associate printer drivers.

    For more information, see Section 8.4.1, Creating Additional Printers.
