Controlling iPrint Settings through the Windows Registry

fix

You can control the availability of the iPrint Tray Icon in the Windows System Tray and some of the iPrint Settings attributes using the associated registry entries. Depending on the version of the iPrint Client, the registry keys are located in one of the following locations:
 
iPrint Client v4.15 and earlier:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers
 
iPrint Client v4.16 and later:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Novell-iPrint
 
Regardless of the iPrint Client version, the same registry entries are used. The numeric values use hexadecimal.You can also change the text that should be displayed. For example, you can change the URL associated with the Find/Install Printers link in the Tray Icon Menu to one that your company uses by editing the value of the Tray Icon Link entry.
 
Registry Keys
 
Job Notify Setting: Pop-up messages in the System Tray about the status of a print job.
0 = Off
1 = On
The default is 1.
 
Proxy Server URI: URL to be used for a proxy server

Note: All changes take affect immediately except the Tray Icon Setting, which requires you to logout and log back in or restart the workstation before for the changes to take affect.
