A proxy server is located between a client and another server that the client is trying to communicate with. Often proxy servers are used in conjunction with a firewall to keep internal addresses private while exposing only the proxy server’s address to external users. If you have users that need to submit print jobs through a proxy server, you can use the iPrint Clients Proxy setting. The Client sends all print-related requests, such as a print job, to the proxy server. The proxy server then redirects the print job to the correct iPrint server.
For example, Juan is a laptop user who has installed and printed to a variety of iPrint printers at the company’s headquarters. While on the road, Juan wants to submit a report to his manager. Rather than sending the report by e-mail or fax, Juan decides to send it to the printer near his manager’s office. When Juan tries to send the report to the printer, he receives an error that the printer cannot be found. He knows that the company uses a firewall and a proxy server. He types the proxy server address in the iPrint Proxy settings, then tries to print the report again. This time the print job is accepted. The print job travels from his laptop to the proxy server. The proxy server redirects the print job to the printer’s Print Manager, where the print job is spooled and forwarded to the printer.
