nipp532.zip contains the iPrint Client version 5.32 for Windows Vista, 2008, XP, and 2003. This client also works with Windows 7 if the server hosting iPrint is NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 8 with the iPrint NetWare 6.5 SP8b patch set or Open Enterprise Server 2 Support Pack 2.
details
Overview:
nipp532.zip contains all the features and fixes within the 5.30 client, plus two security fixes and a fix related to the auto driver update feature.
System Requirements:
The 5.32 iPrint client is supported on Windows Vista 32 bit and 64 bit, WIndows 2008 32 bit and 64 bit, Windows XP 32 bit, and Windows 2003 32 bit. It is also supported for Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit if the server is NetWare 6.5 SP8 with the iPrint NetWare 6.5 SP8b patch set or Open Enterprise Server 2 Support Pack 2. There are plans to allow for Windows 7 support with OES 2 SP1 with a post SP1 iPrint patch.
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.
Requirements unique to Windows 7 implementation:
The iPrint Client installed to Windows 7 will print to Print Managers hosted on NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 8 with the iPrint NetWare 6.5 SP8b patch set and Open Enterprise Server 2 Support Pack 2.
Installation:
Explanation of iprint.ini -
In past iterations of the iPrint client (the 4.x series of clients), an iprint.ini was included for each nipp.exe OS type. In the 5.x series of iPrint clients, including this release, only one iprint.ini is included with the download package. The 5.x series clients do not look to the NovellWinVersion information found in the iprint.ini, but rather look to their respective version.ini files, which are included in this package. Therefore, the iprint.ini included in this download package shows a NovellWinVersion of 4.38. The 4.38 value is in this newly released iprint.ini for older clients which might be installed on workstations to function. Do not edit the NovellWinVersion or other NovellWinVer[..] values within the iprint.ini file. Note, the 5.x clients continue to read the other values within the file, ie: AllowAutoUpdate, ShortInstallName, AllowUserPrinters...
Installing nipp.exe -
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
/var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/clients/win-7/x86 (32 bit)
/var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/clients/win-7/x86_64 (64 bit)
/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
sys\apache2\htdocs\ippdocs\clients\win-7/x86 (32 bit)
sys\apache2\htdocs\ippdocs\clients\win-7/x86_64 (64 bit)
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-7/x86/nipp.exe
chmod 755 /var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/clients/win-7/x86_64/nipp.exe
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.
