Sure, but if it improves your ability to print then it gives you
something you don’t have with Windows. In addition, any chance the
boss has a nice shiny iPad or iPhone he wishes he could print from?
With iPrint he can…

The appliance sounds interesting but it isn’t a hardware appliance more of
a virtual machine. I think the terminology is bad, but that’s me I suppose.
The Novell iPrint Tech info page isn’t really helpful either since if you
read through it you may not be inclined to think mobile devices would be
supported since there is no mention there of the iPad/iPhone/Android
whatever clients.

So my response to Joseph’s comment is…
I think another network tech here already found some
application/service that allows printing from mobile devices…

I remember in my former life I worked with a Sophos anti-spam appliance
which was just a virtual software appliance that ran in our old VMware
environment. I guess calling something an appliance is a bit of a
misnomer as this seems to imply hardware appliance. I’ve at least made
sure to use the terms “software appliance” or “virtual appliance” when
talking about iPrint.

Something called fingerprint. The server is sitting on a network we
have created for our ‘approved’ wireless devices (ipads, etc).
Looks like only things that can print via this need to be on this
specific network here, not sure if the new iprint allows printing from
anywhere or not.

Yes it does. If a device can contact the appliance it can print using
native apps for Android and iOS. Or better yet, if a device can send
an e-mail it can print.

Good to know. Of course I just get somewhat indifferent smirks when I
mention any Novell product around here anymore…

Is this from Collobus Software? I ask because I got redirected to
their website and found a blog article that said they “are no longer
marketing or selling FingerPrint” with a new product, Presto, as the
replacement. Presto seems to be licensed monthly on a per server
basis.[/color]
So my response to Simon’s comment is…
Yes it is by Collobos. Will have to mention that.

Then don’t call it Novell iPrint… just call it iPrint. They may
think it’s an Apple product at that point.

I still get raised eyebrows and, “I didn’t know they were still around”
when talking to a new client. Oh for an effective advertising department.

Apparently we already purchased licensing for this other product.
Funny, they’ll spend money hand over fist to buy products from anyone
else, anything that Novell offers that will do the same thing gets
ignored.
I’m waiting until they decide they need to move to exchange for email,
I’ll probably be done where if that happens.

Well as Simon pointed out, the other product isn’t even sold anymore
and there’s this new Presto solution you’ll have to move to which has a
monthly cost. In addition I just took a look at their website and it
appears all they do is AirPrint and Google Cloud Print. They offer a
way to get AirPrint to cross subnet boundaries in their enterprise
version, but at the end of the day it’s still AirPrint.
This means their solution is quite limiting. They support iOS,
Android, and ChromeOS but the latter two require Google Cloud Print
which means all of your print jobs have to go to the cloud and back
down. If you leverage Novell iPrint you can use native apps for
Android and iOS and use standard Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)
printing in addition to AirPrint. Plus on top of that iPrint even
supports email-based printing which means any device that can send an
e-mail can print: ChromeBooks, BB, Windows Phone, etc. You really get
a ton more mobile printing capabilities with this than with Presto.
