The Axis Network Print Server enables printing over the Internet with IPP (Internet Printing Protocol), an industry standard that allows users to print to remote printers across the Internet.
With IPP, a user with an Internet connection can send a document to any printer which is connected to the Internet. IPP is platform independent and can be used to print over any LAN or WAN that supports TCP/IP.
In practical terms, this means that you can send documents to a remote printer as an addition to or replacement of fax and
An IPP client needs to be installed on your computer together with an appropriate printer driver for proper IPP functionality. The IPP client is a tool that adds destination printers to your printer list.
The Axis Network Print Server with integrated IPP is compatible with any 1.0 and 1.1 compliant IPP client.
The Axis Network Print Server presents IPP printer objects to the client, one for each printer port. Some of the most common IPP client printing methods are described below. Please refer to your IPP client documentation for more specific information.
•For Windows 2000/XP/2003: the Microsoft IPP Client (automatically installed with the Operating System).
