Environment

Open Enterprise Server 2018

Situation

After upgrading from OES 2015 to OES 2018, neither the Print Manager or Driver Store will load.  The Apache error log (/var/log/apache2/error_log) points to a certificate issue.

Resolution

Copy/paste the following string of commands into a terminal session:
/opt/novell/iprint/bin/post_update_fix;rcnovell-idsd start;rcnovell-ipsmd start

Cause

The underlying OS to OES 2018 contains changes on how it loads services.  When doing an upgrade from OES 2015 to OES 2018, those changes result in the Print Manager and Driver Store failing to load.

Additional Information

There is a section of the OES 2018 iPrint documentation which specifically addresses this issue:
