Environment


Novell iPrint for Linux Open Enterprise Server Support Pack 2 Driver Store

Situation

Error message: iPrint Client - No printer driver has been associated with this printer.
Error group: iPrint Client
Error code: 65550

Above error is returned when trying to install an iPrint printer to a Windows XP workstation, even though a driver is associated to the Printer.

Resolution

Associate a Windows XP driver to the Printer Agent if you are attempting to install an iPrint Printer to an XP workstation. 
      - Go to iManager
      - iPrint -> Manage Printer
      - Select the Printer
      - Drivers -> Windows XP Drivers
      - Select a driver, click Apply

If there is not a driver to select, then upload a driver using the Manage Driver Store task.

Additional Information

The iPrint Client requires that a driver be associated to the Printer Agent for the installation to succeed.  With iPrint hosted on a NetWare server, administrators can place all their print drivers in the Windows 2000 location, and that would satisfy the driver association requirement for both Windows 2000 and Windows XP workstations.  In other words, Windows 2000 and XP are considered the same operating system.  With iPrint hosted on Linux, that is not true. Windows 2000 and XP recognize the drivers only for that specific OS assignment.
