Environment
Novell iPrint Client for Windows 4.20
Situation
If a printer is renamed at the NetWare server console, or the Print
Manager is loaded with a new DNS or IP Address switch, then the
iPrint printers installed to workstations will be automatically
deleted and auto installed with the new name or new DNS/IP
information. If the iPrint printer that is being removed and
re-installed is the Windows Default Printer, then that default
assignment becomes lost. Another printer in the Windows
Printers and Faxes list becomes the default printer.
Resolution
Install the iPrint Client version 4.26 or later. iPrint
Client version 4.26 can be downloaded with Support Pack 6 for
NetWare 6.5, or by searching for nipp.exe from Novell's File
Finder.
Additional Information
When an iPrint printer is auto removed, the user receives a message
that:
The Administrator has renamed or modified printer \\ipp://[serverDNSorIP]\[PrinterName]. Please wait while this printer is updated.
After clicking the OK button, the user will eventually see:
Printer \\ipp://[serverDNSorIP]\[PrinterName] has been updated and its name changed to \\ipp://[serverDNSorIP]\[PrinterName].
