Changing the IPP Port Settings

After the IPP port is created, you can reach the Configure IPP Port screen by performing these steps:

1.Open the Printers folder (Start => Settings => Printers).

2.Right-click IPP Printer and select Properties.

3.Click the Port Settings or Configure Port button (Details or Port tab, depending on your version of Windows). The Configure IPP Port screen (shown in Figure 7-4) will appear.

There are two settings, Retry Interval and Retry Count, which can be adjusted if you have problems connecting to the IPP Server.

•The Retry Interval sets the time interval (in seconds) between connection attempts. Increase this number if you have a poor connection, or the remote server is very busy.

•The Retry Count sets how many connection attempts will be made. Increase this number if you have a poor connection, or the remote server is very busy.

IPP Client Setup for Windows 2000 and XP
