Section 6: Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)

This section covers the Internet Printing Protocol for the WPS870G.

Overview

Your WPS870G uses a special protocol, IPP (Internet Printing Protocol), to allow remote printing to any printer on your network, or if your network allows, from anywhere on the Internet. To gain access to the IPP feature, you must install the IPP software on computers not running Windows 2000 or XP (they already include the necessary software).

All computers require configuration to work with this protocol.

Basically, you configure a printer with your router’s IP address, the router in turn forwards the print job to the Print Server.

Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) Requirements

The Print Server contains the necessary firmware to act as an IPP Server. No additional configuration is necessary. However, the following requirements must be met:

The Print Server must have a valid IP address. If not, refer to IP Assignment. For printing from the Internet, the Print Server's IP address must be external (allocated by your ISP); or if your router is capable, you can configure your router to forward the IP printing job to your IPP printer. This means you would use your router’s IP address for configuring IPP printing.

Any Router, Gateway or Firewall linking your LAN to the Internet must not block the IPP protocol. Specifically, consider the port (631) your WPS870G will use for IPP printing and decide if a firewall might block it.

You must advise clients of the correct URL or IP address of the IPP Server. To use a URL rather than an IP address, you need to register the domain name for the URL.

Unless your computers are using Windows 2000 or XP, you must provide and install IPP Client software. The IPP_CLIENT.EXE file is located in the IPP folder on the CD-ROM.

Installing IPP Client – Windows 98SE/ME

To install the IPP client in Windows 98SE/ME:

1Insert the CD-ROM supplied with your WPS870G.

2Navigate to the IPP folder.

3Double-click the IPP_Client.exe file to install the program.
