Using an IPP gateway InfoPrint Manager includes an IPP gateway that allows users anywhere in the network to submit jobs through InfoPrint Manager, even to printers that are not IPP-enabled. The InfoPrint Manager administrator enables the IPP gateway in the Management Console and associates it with a destination. Users install IPP client software on their workstations, then follow the instructions provided with the IPP client to access a printer managed by a remote printer server. The IPP gateway provides the InfoPrint Manager administrator with straightforward control over which destinations are accessible to applications. This feature does not provide detailed event notification from InfoPrint Manager, but users can receive detailed notification if they install InfoPrint Manager Notifications on their workstations. Using InfoPrint Manager hot folders An InfoPrint Manager hot folder is a directory that is associated with a logical destination. When you copy or move a file to the hot folder, InfoPrint Manager automatically submits the job to that logical destination. The hot folder directory can be created on any system that the InfoPrint Manager server and all job submitters can access, including the system that the InfoPrint Manager server is installed on. The directory should then be shared so that all of the users who need to copy files to it can access it. To submit files to the hot folder, users copy their files to that directory from their local systems. If you set the notification-profile attribute in an attributes file and submit that file along with your print file, you can receive notification messages about the print jobs you submit using hot folders.1 Otherwise, this feature does not provide detailed event notification from InfoPrint Manager. 1. Additional information about using hot folders, including creating attribute files, is available in the InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Getting Started and the InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Procedures. 32 InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Introduction and Planning Guide

Using an IPP gateway
InfoPrint Manager includes an IPP gateway that allows users anywhere in the
network to submit jobs through InfoPrint Manager, even to printers that are not
IPP-enabled. The InfoPrint Manager administrator enables the IPP gateway in the
Management Console and associates it with a destination. Users install IPP client
software on their workstations, then follow the instructions provided with the IPP
client to access a printer managed by a remote printer server.
The IPP gateway provides the InfoPrint Manager administrator with
straightforward control over which destinations are accessible to applications. This
feature does not provide detailed event notification from InfoPrint Manager, but
users can receive detailed notification if they install InfoPrint Manager
Notifications on their workstations.
Using InfoPrint Manager hot folders
An InfoPrint Manager
hot folder
is a directory that is associated with a logical
destination. When you copy or move a file to the hot folder, InfoPrint Manager
automatically submits the job to that logical destination. The hot folder directory
can be created on any system that the InfoPrint Manager server and all job
submitters can access, including the system that the InfoPrint Manager server is
installed on. The directory should then be shared so that all of the users who need
to copy files to it can access it. To submit files to the hot folder, users copy their
files to that directory from their local systems.
If you set the
notification-profile
attribute in an attributes file and submit that file
along with your print file, you can receive notification messages about the print
jobs you submit using hot folders.

Otherwise, this feature does not provide
detailed event notification from InfoPrint Manager.
