How to Use the Email Feature in UniPrint?

UniPrint's Server has a nice feature: in addition to being able to print, the user can also email the printout directly to a recipient. In order to use this feature, certain settings have to be set up in the UniPrint Management Console.

Start UniPrint Management Console on the UniPrint Server. Click Driver Properties under Performance & Maintenance. Click the Optional Features tab. The top panel is the Email setup.

Email Setup 1

 

Check the Enable email checkbox, fill in the correct email server name (or its IP address). Leave the port to the default value of 25, unless you know your email server uses a different port.

Assuming your email server allows unauthenticated connections, leave the Server requires authentication checkbox unchecked. Fill in the Global sender email address. A weird description that simply means the name that will be displayed on the TO: in the email header when you receive an email.

If your server requires authentication, read our bug report. For now, just click save.

Now log on to the UniPrint Server via a remote session (Microsoft’s Terminal Services RDP connection, or Citrix’s ICA connection. Open up a document (or type something in Notepad), and click print. When the printer dialog shows up, select the Uniprint printer (if you have more than one printer installed), and click the preferences button. The Uniprint driver dialog box shows up.

Email setup 2

 

Click the Email tab. Fill in all the fields, or at least the TO: field, and click OK to close the UniPrint Driver dialog box. Next click Print on the Printer dialog box. Voila! In a few moments, you (or mail recipient you specified in the TO: field) should get an email with the printout as a PDF attachment.
