Windows 2000 and Windows XP: Internet Print Protocol

2.4.Internet Print Protocol

1Start the Add Printer Wizard (Start >Settings > Printers > Add Printer). Click Next.

2When asked whether the new printer should be a local printer or a network printer, choose Network Printer with the radio button. Click Next.

3You will be then asked what you want to do in order to locate the printer. Use the radio-button to select Connect to a Printer on the Internet or on your Intranet. Fill in the IP address for the Intermate print server followed by the port and service name, using the following syntax:

<URL>: <port>/<print service name>. The port number is fixed (631) and the print service name is also fixed (printer).

Example:

http://192.168.0.227:631/printer

Click Next.

4On Windows 2000, this will bring up a ! warning message box telling you that server does not have the correct driver. Click OK to configure a so-called local printer. XP skips this interesting step.

5Now you will be presented with a list of manufacturers and printer models.Select a combination of manufacturer and model

6Note that you will not be given a choice of printer name. The generated name will follow this syntax

<print driver name> on http://<URL:port>

The following example assumes installation of an HP Laser Jet 4Si driver which, in fact, can be used on many different physical printer models.

HP LaserJet 4Si on http://192.168.0.227:631.

7You will not be given the opportunity to share the printer.

8Decide whether or not you want a test page printed. Click Next. The test page will not print until after the next step is completed.

9The final window will be presented. Click “Finish”.
