Send to printer operation with safe communication channel

May 23, 2011 10:58 AM

Hi,

 

I create a flow on LiveCycle Workbench that print a document (with policy applied or without).

 

So I want be use a safe communication channel betwwen LiveCycle server and printer, to avoid any person intercept this message between both and have access to that file.

 

I have a doubt about sendToPrinter operation and printer protocols:

 

- The protocols (CUPS, Direct IP, LPD, CIFS) available on LiveCycle provide this security that I want?

 

Reading the documentation I don't find this information.

 

Thank you!

    We simply support those protocols you mention; passing an un-encrypted print stream to each of them

    So it is as secure as the path to the printer; which each protocol supports.

    Very generally for a secure path the printer needs to receive an encrypted print stream and decrypt it on receipt; not a common printer operation.

    These protocols may support such an integration with specialized printer security capabilities; I don’t know; but LiveCycle does not.

    Generally print security is handled by keeping the network conversation between the source and the printer within a secure network.
