Configuring the Pull Print Feature Web Application to Work with the InfoPrint Manager System

The Pull Print Feature Web application connects to the InfoPrint Manager system the same way as an InfoPrint Manager GUI or client. The Web application looks for the Pull Print actual destinations feeding a printer in that system. You might want to connect the Pull Print Web application to the same command processor that you use for your InfoPrint Manager Administration GUI.

If you have not configured the host name or the IP address and the port number of the InfoPrint Manager server for the Pull Print Web application to connect to at the InfoPrint ManagerPull Print Feature installation time, or you need to change these values, you need to use the IPMMI (Linux), SMIT (AIX), or MMC (Windows) interface to set the IP addresses and ports of the primary and backup servers.

To change the Pull Print Feature settings on an AIX system:

  1. Stop the Web server first. To stop the Web server go to SMIT -> InfoPrint Printing System -> InfoPrint Utilities -> Web Server -> Stop WebServer. Stopping the InfoPrint Manager Web Server causes all the Web applications to stop.
  2. Add or change the Pull Print Feature settings. To add or change the Pull Print Feature settings go to SMIT -> InfoPrint Printing System -> InfoPrint Utilities -> Pull Print Feature Settings.
  3. To configure the Pull Print Feature settings, you can set these fields:
    • Primary server IP and port: Indicates the command processor of the InfoPrint Manager server for the Web application to use for the primary InfoPrint Manager system. This parameter uses the format with the address, a : (colon), and the port number. For example:

      Hostname (recommended): 

      example.domain.com:6874

      IPv4: 

      192.168.1.32:6874

      IPv6: 

      [2001:0ce8:58a3:0000:0000:6a2e:0370:3734]:6874

    • Backup server IP and port: Indicates a backup command processor of the InfoPrint Manager server for the Web application to use for the primary InfoPrint Manager system. This command processor must be in the same system as the command processor identified by the primary IP address and port. This parameter uses the format with the address, a : (colon), and the port number. For example: 192.168.1.32:6876.
  4. Press Enter.
  5. Start the Web server. To start the Web server: go to SMIT -> InfoPrint Printing System -> InfoPrint Utilities -> Web Server -> Start WebServer.
