Situation

novell-iprint-server-6.4.20120627-5.23 breaks duplicate named printer driver profiles.
 
Upgrading the novell-iprint-server RPM to the 20120627 version reduces the list of printer driver profiles available through:
  • iManager -> Printer Driver Profiles ->  Delete Printer Driver Profile 
  • iManager -> Printer Driver Profiles ->  Modify Printer Driver Profile
Printer Driver Profiles will show as missing.

Resolution

Novell has a proposed fix for this issue.  Email patchfeedback@novell.com with the subject of "Printer Driver Profiles missing after upgrade".  An updated novell-iprint-server RPM will be sent in a reply email.

STEPS TO DUPLICATE:-

  1. Ensure a version previous to novell-iprint-server-6.4.20120627-5.23 is installed to the server.
  2. Upload printer Drivers for different OS Versions (Win7x64,Win7x32,WinXP).
  3. Create Printer Agents for each of the Operating Systems mentioned above and associate respective drivers.
  4. Create multiple Printer Driver Profiles for each of the different OS Versions (Win7x64,Win7x32,WinXP).

               Win732bit Profile:  HP4200Profile
               Win764bit Profile:  HP4200Profile
  5. Capture a screen shot of
    • iManager -> Printer Driver Profiles ->  Delete Printer Driver Profile.
    • iManager -> Printer Driver Profiles ->  Modify Printer Driver Profile.
  6. Update the novell-iprint-server to novell-iprint-server-6.4.20120627-5.23.
  7. Restart Apache, Tomcat, idsd and ipsmd.
  8. Compare the list of profiles from :
    • iManager -> Printer Driver Profiles ->  Delete Printer Driver Profile.
    • iManager -> Printer Driver Profiles ->  Modify Printer Driver Profile.
