Encrypted Printing

In IQ4docs, print data can be transferred from the workstation computer to the output device in encrypted form. For print@me print jobs, the print data can also be stored on the server in encrypted form (AES 256 bit).

To enable encrypted transmission in IIS, the certificate must be imported into the web server and entered in the binding of the default web site, see Installing SSL certificate in IIS.

For encrypted transmission of a print job, the certificate used on the server must be entered in the certificate memory under Trusted Root Certification Authorities on the client computer that sends the print job. Please follow the operating system manufacturer's instructions for this. The links below may help you:

Encrypted transmission from the workstation computer is carried out via IPPS. Either an IPPS queue is used, or it is also possible to let the IQ4docs Messenger do the transfer. In both cases, a local printer installation on the workstation computer is required. Follow the steps below to set this up.

Install the IPP printer as described under Printer Driver Installation. Use the URL for encrypted transmission.

When transferring with the IQ4docs Messenger, a local printer queue (RAW) is needed to send the print job to the Messenger. It receives the print job and sends it on to the PrintService via IPPS in encrypted form. Example of how to proceed:

  1. Install the Messenger on the workstation (Installation IQ4docs Messenger).

  2. Install a printer queue on the workstation. Use the RAW protocol. When connecting, use 127.0.0.1 and port 49500.

  3. Specify port 49500 in the Messenger configuration under ProxyLocalPorts (<add key="ProxyLocalPorts" value="49500"/>).

  4. Clear the ProxyRemotePorts list in the Messenger configuration (<add key="ProxyRemotePorts" value=""/>).

  5. Specify the IPPS address of the PrintService in the configuration of the Messenger under ProxyRemoteUrls (<add key="ProxyRemoteUrls" value="ipps://server/PrintService/ipp/Standard"/>).
    See also Printer Driver Installation, but note the different spelling of the URL when using the Messenger.

Encryption of the settings must be specified in the print data storage location (workflow files).

To open the web administration, enter http://<hostname>/webadmin in the web browser (where hostname corresponds to the server on which IQ4docs WebAdmin was installed). In a client environment, enter the URL that you received from the client administrator (for example, http://server/webadmin/#/cf992178-4bd6-431c-b815-b9d734d0ded3). If you are not already logged in, log in with a user that has administrator rights (login and password) or as the IQ4docs system administrator (administrator with password admin by default).

In the Web administration, click System > System Areas in the menu. The list view of the system areas opens. The Standard Area system area is present by default.

In the Print Files area, select Store print jobs encrypted (all files associated with the print job are stored encrypted).

The print jobs can be sent encrypted from the PrintService to the device via IPPS. This setting must be made in the module Send print job module (setting Printer Port Selection).

Note that for encrypted transmission of a print job, the certificate used on the server must be entered in the certificate memory under Trusted Root Certification Authorities on the client computer that sends the print job.
