Customizing the HTML Interface
You can edit any of the HTML files provided or you can create your own to
customize iPrint for your environment. The HTML files are installed in the
SYS:LOGIN\IPPDOCS directory. For information on the HTML interface,
see Appendix A, “Configuring the HTML Interface,” on page 33.
Some examples of ways to present printers to users are located in the
SYS:LOGIN\IPPDOCS\EXAMPLES directory:
Example 1 shows a fully graphical interface for locating and installing
printers using standard HTML. This type of approach can also be created
using the iPrint Map Designer. For more information, see “Using the
iPrint Map Designer” on page 23. Using your Web browser, view this
example from
SYS:\LOGIN\IPPDOCS\EXAMPLES\EXAMPLE1\INNERWEB.HTM
Example 2 shows a lower maintenance approach for locating and
installing printers using standard HTML. Using your Web browser, view
this example from
SYS:\LOGIN\IPPDOCS\EXAMPLES\EXAMPLE2\INNERWEB.HTM
Printer Availability on Workstations
You might want printers to remove themselves automatically from a
workstation. For example, you have a printer in your lobby for customers to
use. When the customer leaves, you want the printer to be removed from the
customer’s laptop. Setting the persistence of the printer allows you to
automatically remove the printer when the customer reboots his laptop.
Complete the following to set the persistence of a printer:
1 Using a text editor, open SYS:\LOGIN\IPPDOCS\INST.HTM.
2 Edit the file by searching for "persistence=".
The setting occurs twice: once for Internet Explorer and once for
Netscape browsers.
3 Replace the printer setting value, located after the comma (,) with reboot.
4 Save the file.
