Configuration Possibilities
With IPP, a user with an Internet connection can send a document to any printer which is connected to the Internet. IPP is platform independent and can be used to print over any LAN or WAN that supports TCP/IP.
In practical terms, this means that you can send documents to a remote printer as an addition to or replacement of fax and
IPP clients An IPP client needs to be installed on your computer together with an appropriate printer driver for proper IPP functionality. The IPP client is a tool that adds destination printers to your printer list.
The Axis Network Print Server with integrated IPP is compatible with any 1.0 and 1.1 compliant IPP client.
The Axis Network Print Server presents IPP printer objects to the client, one for each printer port. Some of the most common IPP client printing methods are described below. Please refer to your IPP client documentation for more specific information.

IPP Printing | Before you print to an IPP printer you need to know: | |
Requirements | • | the address of the print server. |
| ||
• the brand and model of the printer in order to install the appropriate printer driver.
Address Schemes for When using IPP printing, you need to know the IP address or host name IPP Printers of your Axis print server. IPP is a client/server type protocol which
comprises two industry standards:
•the 1.0 standard, which uses an http:// address scheme
•the 1.1 standard, which uses an ipp:// address scheme
Example using a If “axisps” is the host name of the print server, "631" is the port number Host Name and "LPT1" is the local printer port name, then the syntax of the address
in the 1.0 Standard: scheme will be http://axisps:631/USB1 in the 1.0 standard.
