iPrint Client for Windows version 4.32 with variations of silent installation options. The iPrint Client for Windows version 4.32 is also available with Open Enterprise Server 2 and NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 7.
details
System Requirements:
The 4.32 iPrint client is supported on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003. This client may work on Windows 95, 98, and NT, but has not been tested. Microsoft Hotfixes KB884897 and KB893225 should be installed on each workstation that uses the iPrint client on 2000 and XP. See TID 3786843 for more information.
Installation:
Four variations of the iPrint Client installation are included in this download; nipp.exe, nipp.zip, nipp-s.exe, and nipp-sr.exe. Rename any of the variations to nipp.exe so workstations requesting to install the iPrint client through the default ipp page (http://[IP_DNSofiPrintManagerServer]/ipp) will download the version of the administrator's choice. Read the "Description of files" section in this document to understand the differences among the EXEs. To install any of these versions to a specific workstation, simply double-click the executable.
To distribute the installation through the iPrint page (http://x.x.x.x/ipp):
1. Rename the executable of choice (nipp-s.exe or nipp-sr.exe) to "nipp.exe".
2. Copy the nipp to the ippdocs directory on the server:
-- NetWare 6.5 SP5 and earlier
----- SYS:\Apache2\htdocs\ippdocs
-- NetWare 6.5 SP6 and SP7
----- SYS:\Apache2\htdocs\ippdocs
----- SYS:\Apache2\htdocs\ippdocs\clients\win-2k
----- SYS:\Apache2\htdocs\ippdocs\clients\win-9x-nt4
----- SYS:\Apache2\htdocs\ippdocs\clients\win-xp
----------- See TID 3756262 for an important explanation of these directories.
----------- Copy the version.ini files found in this download to the respective directories.
-- NetWare 6.0 and 5.1
----- SYS:\Login\ippdocs
-- OES Linux
----- /var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/
-- OES 2 Linux
----- /var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/clients/win-9x-nt4
----- /var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/clients/win-2k
----- /var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/clients/win-xp
3. Copy the iPrint.ini to the server:
-- NetWare 6.5 SP6 and earlier
----- SYS:\Apache2\htdocs\ippdocs
-- OES Linux
----- /var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/
4. Copy the version.ini to the respective client directories (/htdocs/clients/win-xxx)
After copying those files to the server, the following process will occur:
a. Workstation boots up or the user hits the iPrint page (either a custom iPrint map page or the default iPrint page with a list of printers).
b. The iPrint client installed on the workstation (regardless of the version) will check which server* the iPrint printers were installed from.
c. The iPrint client will compare the version stated in the iprint.ini or version.ini on the server with the version of the iPrint client installed on the workstation.
d. Recognizing that the version on the server is newer, the client will download and install to the workstation. The behavior of the installation will vary depending on which nipp.exe is on the server.
* Only one server will participate in the process described above. If the iPrint printers installed on the workstation were installed from more than one server, then the default printer will take precedence. If the default printer is a non-iPrint printer, then the server IP address associated to the first iPrint printer listed in the Windows Registry will be contacted for version comparison.
Two versions of the uninstall are included in this patch; nipp-su.exe and nipp-u.exe. Read the "Description of files" section to understand the differences.
DESCRIPTION OF FILES:
All versions of the iPrint client installation listed below are intended for Windows 2000, XP, and 2003.
nipp.exe = Installs the iPrint Client and displays dialog boxes and progress windows that require user intervention. This is the default installation program.
nipp.zip = A WinZip version of the client that can be used with distribution software programs. After the file is unzipped, run setupipp.exe. For a list of the command line parameters that you can use with setupipp.exe, enter setupipp.exe /h at a command prompt. This version of the installation can be useful to set up ZENworks installation packages or 3rd party install programs.
nipp-s.exe = Installs the iPrint Client. A screen displays the progress of the install, but requires no user intervention. Note: Windows 2000/XP don't require a reboot after the install, unless using iCapture. If the printers are captured to an LPT port using iCapture, then the capture will not be available until the user manually reboots the workstation. The user will not be warned of this iCapture issue.
nipp-sr.exe = Installs the iPrint Client and reboots the workstation. A screen displays the progress of the install, but no user intervention required.
nipp-su.exe = Uninstalls the iPrint Client. A screen displays the progress of the uninstall, but requires no user intervention.
nipp-u.exe = Uninstalls the iPrint Client. The user confirms to uninstall the client, then a screen displays the progress of the uninstall.
