Rename Sys:\Apache2\htdocs\ippdocs\clients\win-9x-nt4\nipp-s.exe to nipp.exe
Cause:
At first glance, the above rename suggestion will seem to not apply
to your situation. Please continue reading to understand why
the above change will produce the desired results.
Prior to SP6 for NetWare 6.5, the various versions of nipp.exe resided in Sys:\Apache2\htdocs\ippdocs. The method of implementing the silent install of the iPrint client was intuitive: rename Sys:\Apache2\htdocs\ippdocs\nipp-s.exe to nipp.exe. That rename would cause 9x, NT, 2000, and WinXP machines running the iPrint client to receive the nipp-s executable (the silent version of the install) in place of the traditional install (nipp.exe) when the version iPrint client on the server was newer than the version installed to the workstation.

The Sys:\Apache2\iprint\ipp.conf includes the following directive:
RewriteRule ^/ippdocs/nipp.exe /ippdocs/clients/win-9x-nt4/nipp.exe [R,L]
Because of the above cited ipp.conf directive, Win2k and WinXP workstation will look to the win-9x-nt directory to obtain the iPrint client installation.
