Create a print manager to manage your printers
Creating a print manager
I mentioned before that you need at least one print manager to manage your printers. Each print manager can service multiple printers, though, so the number you install is up to you and your needs and the network traffic patterns you have in place. For my small lab, a single print manager is sufficient.
In iManager, create a print manager by going to iPrint | Create Print Manager. On the resulting Create Print Manager window, provide your new print manager with a name, indicate in which container the new print manager object should, provide the name of the eDirectory server that will service this print manager and tell the print manager which driver store the print manager should use.
Finally, decide how you want iPrint clients to communicate with the print manager. You can use a DNS name or an IP address. I've opted to go the IP address route for this example. The drawback: If I change my server's IP address, al clients will have to remove and reinstall their printers. Click OK when you're ready to create the print manager.
