Environment
Situation
The InformUserOfUpdates feature within the iprint.ini is not honored by workstations with the iPrint Client for Windows version 4.34.
The expectation is that the following message is not presented to the end user because the InformUserOfUpdates value is set to 0, but because of a bug in the 4.34 client, the message is displayed:
The Administrator has renamed or modified printer ipp://[serverDNSorIP][PrinterName]. Please wait while this printer is updated.
In the case of an iPrint printer agent rename, the above message will be followed by this message:
Printer ipp://[serverDNSorIP][PrinterName] has been updated and its name changed to ipp://[serverDNSorIP][PrinterName].
Resolution
- Go to download.novell.com
- Choose iPrint from the drop down list
- Click the patches link
- Find the latest version of the iPrint Client
