Installing LPM

If you are using mobile or email job submission methods, then make sure that document conversion software is installed before you begin. For more information, see Document conversion software dependencies section.

Note: Print Release does not require a document conversion software.
  1. From your computer, run the LPM installer as an administrator.
    Note: Add the service account to the local administrator group on the server. If the service account is not the part of the local administrator group, then the following steps must be performed to change the permissions.
    1. Right‑click C:\Program Files\Lexmark\Solutions in the file explorer.
    2. Select the Security tab, and click the service account.
    3. Click Advanced > Change Permission.
    4. Select the service account, and then click Replace all child object permissions.
    5. Click OK > Yes.
    6. Stop and restart the Lexmark Solutions Application Server Service.
  2. Select a language, and then click OK.
  3. Select Install.
  4. Read and accept the license agreement, and then click Next.
  5. Select the following applicable components, and then click Next:

    • Print Release—Contains the core files and services to enable Print Release.

    • Email—Enables submission of print jobs through email.

    • Mobile App—Enables submission of print jobs through mobile devices running on the iOS operating system and the Android™ platform.

    • AirPrint—Enables submission of print jobs through the Mac OS X operating system software and the iOS operating system using the AirPrint software feature.

    Note: To add a component after the initial installation, run the installer again, and then select the component. For more information on the components, see Files and services index.
  6. Select any of the following advanced options, and then click Next:

    • Update Database—Runs the Liquibase database‑migration scripts, and then updates the database tables and columns.

      Note: Select this setting only when installing or upgrading the first application server.

    • Install Print Release Solution—Installs the PrintReleasev2 solution.

      Note: This setting is selected by default. If you have a customized solution that is applicable only to your organization, then do not select this setting.

    • Install Mobile Solution—Installs the mobile solution.

      Note: Select this setting to allow sending of print jobs using mobile devices. If you have a customized solution that is applicable only to your organization, then do not select this setting.
  7. Specify the database information, and then click Next.
    Notes:
    • To store Print Release data in the same database as LDD, click Import.
    • To store Print Release data in a separate Microsoft SQL Server database, select MSSQL as the database type.
    • When using Microsoft SQL Server, create the instance and database for the Print Release tables.

    When using Integrated Security as the authentication method, make sure that the username and password have the following rights:

    • Log in as a service

    • Full control privileges to the LDD installation path on the application servers

    • Database owner (dbo) to the Microsoft SQL Server Print Release tables

  8. Click Test Connection.
  9. Specify the search base and user attribute information, and then specify the username and password for connecting to the LDAP server.
    Notes:
    • If LDAPS and SSL are used, then select Ignore SSL Certificate Validation.
    • If LDAP information is detected in the backup files, then LPM uses that information and not the values specified in the LDAP Information window.
    • When installing on a load balancer, the LDAP Information window is skipped.
  10. Click Install > Finish.

After you install LPM, depending on the server, the Lexmark Solutions Application Server service can take several minutes to start. To check whether the LPM server is ready, do the following:

  1. From your computer, open Task Manager.
  2. Make sure that the CPU performance of the Tomcat7 process remains at less than 3% for more than 15 seconds.
