Printing documents securely using IPPS 14
To print documents securely over the internet, you can use the IPPS protocol.
Note
• Communication using IPPS cannot prevent unauthorized access to the printer server.
• IPPS is available for Windows® 2000/XP, Windows Vista™ and Windows Server® 2003.
To use the IPPS protocol, the following printer settings are required.
A certificate and private key must be installed in the printer. For how to install certificate and private key,
see Creating and installing a certificate on page 141.
The HTTPS protocol must be enabled. To enable the HTTPS protocol, see Configuring the protocol
settings on page 135.
The basic steps for IPPS printing are the same as IPP printing. For detailed information, see Internet printing
for Windows®in Chapter 9.
Specifying a different URL 14
Please note that there are several possible entries that you can enter for the URL field.
https://Common Name/ipp
This is the default URL and we recommend that you use this URL. Please note the Get More Info option will
not display any printer data.
https://Common Name/ipp/port1
This is for HP® Jetdirect® compatibility. Please note the Get More Info option will not display any printer data.
Note
If you forget the URL details, you can simply enter the above text (https://Common Name/) and the printer
will still receive and process data.
Where “Common Name” is the Common Name that you assigned for the certificate, such as an IP address,
node name or domain name. For how to assign a Common Name for the certificate, see Creating and
installing a certificate on page 141.
• For example:
https://192.168.1.2/ (if the Common Name is the printer’s IP address.)
https://BRNxxxxxx/ (if the Common Name is the printer’s node name.)
