Novell iPrint
iPrint makes all
your printing resources instantly accessible with a web browser. In few mouse
clicks you search your printer, download drivers, and create your printer on
the workstation, enabling the user to send documents to the printer from any
application on the desktop. Companies can also lower communication costs by
reducing the need to fax documents between offices; instead, companies can use
their existing Internet connections to print documents to remote printers.

iPrint Server
Novell iPrint is one of the most popular tools in Open
Enterprise Server. It allows network managers to maintain one repository of
printer drivers locally for all users to leverage automatically and as-needed.
iPrint Client
Novell iPrint reduces helpdesk calls and the complexity of
printer set-ups by enabling end users to easily locate and install printers
using a browser and an office floor plan. It provides global access to
printers, customizable views of any print environment, flexible print deployment
configurations and easy, secure printing.
