Internet Printer Connection Software

HP Jetdirect print servers (firmware version x.07.16 or later) support the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). Using the appropriate software on your system, you can create an IPP print path from your system to any HP Jetdirect-connected printer over the Internet.

Note

For incoming print path requests, the network

 

administrator must configure the firewall to accept

 

incoming IPP requests. Security features available

 

in the software are currently limited.

 

 

Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003

software.

 

 

For supported Windows systems, Internet printing connection software is included with the system.

To set up a print path from a Windows 2000 system to an HP Jetdirect-connected Internet printer, proceed as follows:

1.Open the Printers folder (click Start, select Settings, and select Printers).

2.Run the Add Printer wizard (double-click Add Printer), then click Next.

3.Select Network Printer and click Next.

4.Select Connect to a printer on the Internet and enter the print server’s URL:

http://IP_address/ipp/[port#]

where IP_address is the IP address configured on the HP Jetdirect print server, and [port#] is an optional parameter that identifies the port number on the multi-port HP Jetdirect external print server (port1, port2, or port3) that the printer is connected to. The default is port1.
