Printing documents securely using IPPS 12
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 132.
The HTTPS protocol must be enabled. To enable the HTTPS protocol, see Configuring the protocol
settings on page 126.
The basic steps for IPPS printing are the same as IPP printing. For detailed information, see Internet printing
for Windows®on page 101.
Specifying a different URL 12
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.
https://Common_Name/
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,
host name or domain name. For how to assign a Common Name for the certificate, see Creating and
installing a certificate on page 132.
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 host name)
