I'm desperate here...

Alright, I'm working on a Netware 6.5, Zenworks 6.5 environment here.
I'm NOT the Novell guy for the network, but our Novell guy is a new
one, and he doesn't have much experience with Zenworks. I've been
trying for forever to get this thing working and it won't....here's the
deal:

I work at a College campus, and i've got a pay-for-print system that
i'm working on implementing in the Library for the 16 lab computers.
I've got the printer set up through iManager in iPrint. I've been
trying to get it to push that printer to that set of workstations, but
to no avail. At first, I tried pushing it to the wks through RPM, but
then i read on here yesterday that RPM only pushes to users and user
groups. But I've also got an Application object that i created with
snAppshot that i set to force run that is supposed to install that
printer and default it.....i don't understand why this isn't working at
all....

I just want to know if there's some way i can manually make it push it
out...cuz i don't know how the Force Run setting on the object works as
far as how it's scheduled. I just don't know how all this Zenworks
stuff works...

If your printers are all set up through iPrint, why not use the iPrint
policy on the workstation policy package to determine what printers are
available? You can assign what printers are available, which one is default,
and even remove other printers not on your list.
You can also make user and workstation policies, and while I have not done
both, they should stack.

You don't even need to install the client on the machine one by one. Zen
should do it as long as you point the policy to an installer.
