Printer is already installed

Resolution

Workaround 1: Use the Safari browser

Workaround 2: Open Firefix in 32 bit mode

Additional Information

This problem occurs with the iPrint Client for Mac version 5.06.  The iPrint Client 5.06 installs to Mac OS versions 10.6 and 10.7.  iPrint Client for Mac version 5.08 does not have this problem and will install on Mac OS versions 10.7 and later.  Novell will not release newer versions of the iPrint client for Mac OS versions 10.6 and earlier.  Therefore, Novell does not have plans to resolve this problem on Mac OS 10.6 and earlier.
