How to connect several RIP stations in CalderaJobs?

This feature is available from CalderaJobs V1.1.0 and CalderaRIP V15.

By default, CalderaJobs connects to the local RIP, which is installed on the computer you are working on. But you can connect remote RIPs from other workstations with the RIP Connections tab.

RIP Connections tab

To access the configuration of RIP connections:

1. Go to Settings.

2. Click on RIP Connections.

By default, the "local RIP" is connected and configured.

RIP connection status

You can easily know the status of each RIP connection via a colored indicator. There are 4 different indicators:

	Ready
	Connection attempt
	Failed connection
	Incompatible connection

Add a RIP connection

1. Click on .

2. Configure the RIP connection.

• Name: Type a name for the RIP. It will be displayed in the Print Servers list.
• Hostname or IP address: Type the hostname or the IP address of the workstation where the RIP you want to connect is installed.

3. Click Save. The RIP will be added.

And you will see print servers from your different RIPs displayed in the Print Servers list. You can differentiate where they come from thanks to the RIP connection name.

Edit a RIP connection

You can edit a RIP connection simply by clicking on the RIP you want to change, editing the fields, and clicking Save. Changes will take place automatically, and the Print Servers list will be updated accordingly.

Tips & Tricks

"I don't see my print servers in the list."

This case may happen if:

• There is a mistake in the hostname or IP address
• The hostname of the workstation is not accessible via your network, so you have to use the IP address or contact the IT staff
• The RIP is not running
• The RIP version is earlier than V15
• The workstation is off

Otherwise, try to quit and restart CalderaJobs.
