AXIS 5400 User’s Manual

Section 10: IPP

User Requirements

The IPP protocol does not require any special configuration of the print server, the IPP function is automatically activated when you install your AXIS 5400 Print Server.

IPP is platform independant and functional in Windows (NT, 95, 98 and 2000), Macintosh, OS/2, NetWare and UNIX environments.

Currently available IPP clients include:

• the Internet Printer Connection software from Hewlett Packard for WindowsNT,

 

 

• the Microsoft IPP Client delivered with Windows 2000,

 

 

• IPP clients for Windows ‘95 and ‘98 that can be downloaded

 

 

from the Microsoft web site.

 

 

• the Common Unix Printing System for Unix/Linux

 

 

environments.

Firewall

If there are one or more firewalls between the IPP Client and the

Considerations

server, you may have to make some changes to the firewall

 

 

configuration. IPP uses TCP port 631 for printing, so any firewalls

 

 

between client and server must be configured to allow bi-directional

 

 

traffic on that port. Please consult your network administrator if you

 

 

think any configuration changes are neccesary.

IPP Compliance

The Axis print server with integrated IPP is compatible with any 1.0

 

 

and 1.1 - compliant IPP client. The AXIS 5400 Print Server presents

 

 

 

 

IPP Printer objects to the client, one for each printer port.

Note: ￿ Axis firmware including IPP can be down-loaded free of charge from the Axis website http://www.axis.com.

￿The details on how to print will vary between different IPP clients. Please refer to your client documentation for more specific information.
