Wireless PrintServer

Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)

IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a new standards-based system to allow remote printing from a PC to any accessible printer. Normally, the printer will be attached to a computer or other device which functions as an IPP Server. For client PCs, it is necessary to install a compatible IPP Client program. The Client must also know the IP Address or URL or the IPP Server.

The Wireless PrintServer contains the necessary firmware to act as an IPP Server. No additional configuration is necessary. However, the following requirements must be met:

·The Wireless PrintServer must have a valid IP Address. For printing via the Internet, the Wireless PrintServer's IP Address must be external (allo- cated by your ISP), rather than an IP Address on your local LAN.

·Any Router, Gateway or Firewall linking your LAN to the Internet must NOT block the IPP protocol.

·You must advise clients of the correct URL or IP Address of the IPP Server. To use a URL rather than an IP Address, you need to register the domain name for the URL.

·Unless clients are using Windows 2000, you must provide your clients with the supplied IPP Client software. If it is not convenient to provide the CD-ROM, supply the IPP CLIENT.EXE file, located in the IPP folder.

Windows 95/98/Millennium/NT 4.0/2000/XP IPP Client Setup

Installing from the CD-ROM

1.Insert the CD-ROM in your drive. If the program does not start automatical- ly, click the Start button, choose Run and type d:\setup.exe in the drop- down box (where D is the letter of your CD-ROM drive).

2.Follow the prompts until you reach the Select Installation screen, and select IPP Client.

3.At the next screen, select the Install IPP Client option.

4.Click Next, and step though the remaining screens to complete the installa- tion.
