Printing on Windows
The installation process on Windows sets up printers already configured on iHub as system printers. To connect additional system printers after installation, first connect them to client computers using Printers and Faxes in the Control Panel. Next, in Configuration Console—Advanced view, you add printers to the server using Printers—Add Printer, shown in
Figure 13‑1.

How to add a printer as an iHub printer
1 From the Advanced view of Configuration Console, choose Printers. Printers lists the printers available to iHub, as shown in
Figure 13‑2. In Printers, choose Add Printer.

In Printers—Add Printer, you can change the following server settings for each machine:
PPD File Name

Printer name
Name of the printer.
Printer path
Path to the printer from the machine.
Spool command
Spool command for Linux. Actuate recommends using the copy before printing option. For example, on an AIX system, use the following command:
lp -c -d
On Linux, use the following command:

In an iHub cluster, each machine maintains printer property information. When adding a printer to a cluster, you must specify the printer parameter values for each node in the cluster.
