When you do not need printing to secure iPrint queues (i.e. queues where an authentication dialog is needed) you may not need the iPrint Client at all because a non-secure queue on an iPrint server should be accessible via plain IPP protocol so that all you need to know is the exact IPP DeviceURI and the printer model to set up a usual local CUPS queue on the client system with a matching driver for the printer model. Basically - as far as I know - a non-secure queue on an iPrint server behaves like a network printer which is accessible via IPP protocol, see http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.4/network.html "Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)"
I have added the printers via Yast as well. The only advantage of the iprint interface is that the printer-specific queues are defined. If I do it by hand (yast), I need to hunt down the printer admin guy and ask him what they queues are called. Otherwise, for me, both methods seem to work just fine. I am now trying to find out why CUPS does not find all the IPP printers. I am not sure that their presence is being broadcast. It is a question for the local printer admin guy. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
