YSoft Mac OS Client 4.x - User Roaming

Overview

  • This feature allows user to print jobs with SafeQ Client from any company branch while jobs are redirected to nearest SafeQ server.

  • Redirection of jobs must be configured in DHCP configuration by local administrator and local DHCP server must be accessible on LAN.

  • SafeQ Client delivers the job to IP address specified in DHCP configuration for current user subnet. For every subnet, there could be more IP addresses configured in DHCP server configuration.

  • If server defined in DHCP is not available, then job is delivered to address specified in YSoft SafeQ printer port.

Limitations

  • Only YSoft Mac OS Client 4.1 has support for DHCP server based print roaming.

  • Only IPv4 protocol is supported.

  • Hostnames are not supported and cannot be configured.

  • If first of the servers defined in DHCP is not available, others are not taken into account, but job is sent to address specified in YSoft SafeQ printer port.

Configuration

Setup DHCP option on local DHCP server

  • Set the DHCP option 9 (LPR Server) to one or more IPv4 addresses.

    • Linux - use following command:
      option lpr-servers   ip-address  [ ,   ip-address ... ]
      The LPR server option specifies a list of RFC 1179 line printer servers available to the client. Servers should be listed in order of preference.
