Requirements

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 e-mail, with the same quality and color options of traditional network printing.

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).

For Windows 98/NT: IPP clients can be downloaded from the Microsoft Web site.

For UNIX/Linux: CUPS (can be downloaded from the Common Unix Printing System Web site at www.cups.org).

If you wish to print using iPrint over IPP, use AXIS IPP Gateway Configuration Snap-in for iPrint in NetWare 5.x. It is available on www.axis.com (Support Select Software). See its read-me file for installation instructions.

For Windows NT/2000: the Internet Printer Connection software from Hewlett Packard (can be downloaded from the Hewlett Packard Web site).

Before you print to an IPP printer you need to know:

the address of the print server.

the brand and model of the printer in order to install the appropriate printer driver.
