Original Question: Upgrading to oes 24.4 server while running the "normal" iprint by Gonzalo Morera
Currently there are two different version of iprint running on oes server:
1. The normal iPrint, ie ,where you access your printer thru the /ipp page and it has no mobile capabilities.
2. iPrint Advanced, what replaces the /ipp page with the new printer portal with new capabilities and add mobile capabilities to the server
Prior to oes 24.4, each iPrint version has it own pattern to be installed, so you can install only the "normal" iprint if you do not wanted or needed the Advanced version, they were independent, so could have one or the other.
With 24.4, both patterns have been merged in one. That means that, when you upgrade to oes 24.4 and you have "normal" iprint running, 24.4 will automatically install the Advanced version. This is documented on the advanced documentation and the reason is due to the integration between iprint and UMC console.
But after the upgrade, iprint system will work, users will be able to print, but accessing the /ipp page, it will redirect to the new printer portal and probably, no printers will be displayed.
At this point , there are two options:
1. Follow the advanced documentation to finished the mobile configuration and use the new printer portal with the new features
2. Or if you just want to get back the /ipp page with your printers, then run this script on the server:
“sh /opt/novell/iprintmobile/bin/ipp_page_enable_disable.sh –enable”
I hope you'll find this information useful
