9 Email printing
Email printing is a capability that allows submission of print jobs by simply forwarding emails to known
printer addresses. This can be done from any email client capable of reaching the user’s corporate email
account, so the originating email address ("From") has to be compatible with the authorized email account
settings in HP ePrint Enterprise.
To do this, an email account should be assigned to the printer in the HP ePrint Enterprise database, either
from the Import tool or the regular printer editing screen. If no email is assigned during insertion, an address
auto-generates which can later be changed. To change a printer address, go to View and Manage printers,
select a printer and click the Edit button. The following screen should display:

The printer email account consists of an account name and domain. The domain is always the same as HP
ePrint Enterprise Host field, and therefore not editable. To change the email domain you have to change the
associated host name. Emails sent to this address should be able to reach the associated HP ePrint
Enterprise host. The originating user can send this from any platform capable of using the corporate account.
As this is essentially a non-BlackBerry experience, no MDS push messages can be sent back to the user about
job status. Instead, an email is sent to the user notifying of job submission and final status (success or
failure). No searching services are available for email printing. Administrator must provide users with
address.
To enable email printing, the following settings should be set in cloudprint.settings.xml (section
EmailPrinting):
●
EmailPrinting — Set to “True” if email printing is enabled (default is True).
●
EmailPrintingPIN — Default PIN number used to identify email print jobs (to help track)
Since email printing uses email to send notifications about print jobs, the following properties should also be
configured:
●
SMTPServerAddress — Defines SMTP server IP Address or hostname for sending email
notifications.
●
SenderEmailAddress — Defines email account to use for sending notifications.
●
SMTPServerPort — Defines port on which SMTP server listens for connections. Default port is 25.
●
SMTPServerUsesSSL — Defines whether or not SMTP Server connection uses SSL.
Since email printing is a solution integrated into the customer’s network, understanding how to route emails
from the corporate email server (MS Exchange, Lotus Domino, etc.) to the HP ePrint Enterprise SMTP servers
is required.
