abstract

iPrint Client for Windows Vista, 2003, and XP version 5.12. Previous 5.x iPrint Clients installed only on Windows Vista. The 5.12 Client is the first 5.x generation iPrint Client to install to XP, 2003 as well as Vista. The 5.12 iPrint Client also ships with Support Pack 1 for Open Enterprise Server 2 and Support Pack 8 for NetWare 6.5.

details

System Requirements:
The 5.12 iPrint client is supported on Windows Vista 32 bit and 64 bit, Windows XP 32 bit, and Windows 2003 32 bit.

KB Patches:
For Windows Vista, Microsoft Hotfixes KB300899 and KB322808 are required to be installed before installing the client. These Hotfixes are included in Windows Vista SP1.

For Windows XP, KB884897 and KB893225 are strongly recommended. They can be installed before or after the installation of the client.

Requirements unique to Windows Vista implementation:
The iPrint Client installed to Windows Vista will print to Print Managers hosted on NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 7 or later and Open Enterprise Server 2. Likewise, the Broker or Driver Store must be hosted on those version servers. This client, when installed to Windows Vista workstations, will fail to print to earlier versions of NetWare and Open Enterprise Server 1.

Installation:
An iprint.ini is not included in this download because the iPrint Client for Windows Vista accesses the iprint.ini provided by the iPrint Client for Windows XP/2000 (iPrint Client 4.x). Do not modify the version values in the iprint.ini.

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 and VERSION.INI to the following directories.

OES 2 (5.12 Client already copied to OES2 SP1 servers)
/var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/clients/win-vista/x86 (32 bit)
/var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/clients/win-vista/x86_64 (64 bit)
/var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/clients/win-xp

NW65 SP7 (5.12 Client already copied to NW65 SP8 servers)
sys\apache2\htdocs\ippdocs\clients\win-vista\x86 (32 bit)
sys\apache2\htdocs\ippdocs\clients\win-vista\x86_64 (64 bit)
sys\apache2\htdocs\ippdocs\clients\win-xp

3. On Linux, change the permission on the nipp.exe files to execute. For example:
chmod 755 /var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/clients/win-vista/x86/nipp.exe
chmod 755 /var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/clients/win-vista/x86_64/nipp.exe
chmod 755 /var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/clients/win-xp/nipp.exe

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:

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.
