iPrint, a technology originally developed by Novell, allows users to install printer-drivers from a web browser and to submit print jobs over the Internet or a local network through the standard Internet Printing Protocol (IPP).
Although the system uses Novell infrastructure, desktop users require only an iPrint client.
iPrint servers utilise the combination of:
an IPP server, Print Manager ,Printer Agent ,iPrint Gateway ,driver store
Until now we have been using autoIT gui interface to install the client and printers in a very simple and efficient way:
Rescripted by me to allow installing multiple printers with only few mouse clicks (using checkboxes), new support for Windows Vista/7 32/64bit. Few printers added.
Conclusions:
It's sometimes much harder to modify existing code rather then creating things from scrach.
