Jon copies the URL from the bottom of the Mobility Print Admin page and shares it with the users. Jon goes to the Mobility Print admin interface and sets up printer discovery using known host. He now wants to configure Mobility Print for the clients to discover the printers.

Jon is a system administrator who wants to install Mobility Print in an environment that doesn’t have a BIND or Window internal DNS server. Environments with a known host An example workflow for setting up clients to discover printers Understanding the different workflows from a phone and laptop can help when diagnosing why a print job doesn’t print.

The print job arrives at the Mobility Print Server as a PostScript file generated by PaperCut Software’s Global Printer Driver. A standard set of print options are offered (duplex, color, copies). Tom wants to print a document from his laptop. The job is delivered to the physical printer. The job is placed in the operating system’s print queue (for example, the Windows print queue).

The Mobility Print server converts the PDF to the required Page Description Language (PDL) used by the printer, such as PostScript or PCL, using the drivers installed on the server (avoiding the need for vendor drivers on the client). printing state for the job (*.info.toml).print job options/instructions (*.ticket.toml).The PDF and the selected job attributes are spooled into data/spool. The job’s content is delivered to the Mobility Print server as a PDF file over the IPP protocol (iOS) or HTTP API (Chrome and Android). Tom selects the options (for example, duplex) then taps Print. Tom’s phone discovers printers using DNS (DNS-SD) or mDNS. Tom is an end user who taps the Print button on his phone. We’re all experts on print protocols here at PaperCut Software, however reading through all 1000+ pages of RFC documents has been no mean feat! Examples of print job deliveryĮnvironments using mDNS and DNS An example workflow on Apple iOS, Chrome, and Android It’s a modern stack written by the team in-house in the Go language. Mobility Print has its own IPP embedded stack. It’s used by CUPS on Linux, MacOS, and internally supported by the majority of printers. Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) has rapidly become the defacto standard for print job transfer. For some clients it’s built in (for example, iOS), while for others it requires users to download an app (for example, Android). The server does the conversion, taking the complexity away from the client and the end user.Įach client’s operating system has its own print infrastructure and user interface. This means the clients don’t need to have a vendor/brand specific print driver. The Mobility Print server then converts the PDF file into the printer’s own PDL (for example, PostScript or PCL) ready for printing. PDF is a fantastic interchange format as it’s printer vendor independent. The majority of print jobs are transferred from the client to the Mobility Print server in PDF format using IPP (Internet Printing Protocol).
