Using IPP

AXIS 560/660 User’s Guide

 

 

Using IPP (only for AXIS 660)

You can use IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) for printing over any LAN or WAN that supports TCP/IP. The Axis Print Server IPP functionality is platform-independent and is automatically activated upon installation.

Note:

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.

The Axis print server with integrated IPP is compatible with any 1.0 and 1.1 compliant IPP client. The AXIS 660 Print Server presents IPP Printer objects to the client, one for each printer port.

Notes:

Axis firmware including IPP can be down-loaded free of charge from the Axis website

http://www.axis.com.

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

In order to print to a remote printer via IPP, simply direct your print job to the printer by means of the supported http: address scheme (which is used in the IPP 1.0 standard), or the ipp: address scheme (used in the IPP 1.1 standard).

Example: http: address scheme

IPP address using host name

IPP address using IP address

Corresponding printer

http://axisps:631/LPT1

http://12.100.110.2:631/LPT1

parallel port

 

 

 

See the Axis 660 User’s Manual for more examples on http: and ipp: address schemes. Information on how to add an IPP printer to your printer list in Windows environments can also be found in the User’s Manual.
