Additional Information
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
- On your server create on SYS: a directory NIPP and copy the NIPP-S.EXE to this directory. Give public rights to this directory.
- On your workstation create a system variable called NIPPSRV and give as value the name of your server.
- Check that you can resolve the name of your server from the workstation.
- Create a workstation or user policy package with a iPrint policy. For the location of the NIPP-S.EXE you should enter \\%NIPPSRV%\sys\nipp
- Assign this policy package to the user or the workstation
- Restart the workstation (if the package is a workstation package) or login again (if the package is an user package). The iPrint policy will fail and the IPP client is notinstalled. If you make a trace you will see a request for %NIPPSRV%. Also you will see in the WMiPrint.log that is uses NIPPSRV instead of the value of the system variable.
