Configuring native iOS/macOS printing
You can configure the PrinterOn Server to let iOS- and macOS-based devices discover printers and submit print jobs to PrinterOn printers. It allows users to submit jobs to printers that are located both inside and outside the enterprise network.
This approach extends the following advanced capabilities for jobs submitted through the Native iOS Print workflow:
SSO Authentication
User-based Access Control
Print Management Integrations
Guest Print Workflows
Enabling Printing from Multiple Networks
Note: To enable Native iOS Printing for a specific PrinterOn printer, you must first enable discovery for that printer. To enable the printer discovery setting:
Navigate to the Printers tab.
Locate the printer in the printers list.
In the Discovery column, click the X.
Select Synchronize to save the settings and update all components within the PrinterOn server.
📘 Instructions
To configure the Native iOS printing workflow:
In the Configuration Manager, click Workflows > IPP and Native iOS Printing.
Configure the Configuring Network and Broadcast Settings as necessary.
Click Apply Settings.
📘 Network and Broadcast Settings
Service URI
The address of iOS/macOS devices will be used to retrieve the list of PrinterOn printers with discovery enabled. The Service URI should be the following value:
<PrinterOn_Server_IP>/cpsClick Test Connection to verify that the URI is properly defined.
Broadcast Interface
The network interface to use for advertising printer information. If multiple network cards or interfaces are available on the server, such as when using a Virtual Machine, select the interface that is mapped to the same network as your mobile devices.
When using a virtual machine, this must be the externally visible network adaptor.
The IP address used by each interface is displayed in the drop-down list to help you identify the appropriate interface.
Default IPP Port
The default port on which the IPP Listener service listens for print jobs from iOS devices. The default port is 6310.
To enable the port, check Enable.
To transfer the print data securely, check SSL. This setting is checked by default for the Default IPP Port.
Additional Port 1, Additional Port 2 (Advanced view only)
Additional ports on which the IPP Listener service listens for print jobs, are to be used by iOS devices when the default port is blocked.
To enable the port, check Enable.
To transfer the print data securely, check SSL.
