iPrint client management only works on initial login

Environment

Novell iPrint for Linux Open Enterprise Server Support Pack 2
iPrint Client Management

Situation

ICM preferences are not applied when choosing 'workstation only' login and then performing a subsequent login.

Resolution

Working as designed.  The two ways to apply any ICM settings /  changes are:

1.  Perform a full login from NWGINA
2.  Restart the print spooler (net stop spooler, net start spooler)

Additional Information

The critical aspect is actually the process of querying the eDirectory database for the ICM information.  This is done upon initial login (where both the Novell Client and the iPrint client are launched) or restarting the print spooler (which restarts the iPrint client)
