IPP - Internet Printing Protocol

Address Schemes for When using IPP printing, you need to know the IP address or host name IPP Printers of your Axis print server. IPP is a client/server type protocol which

comprises two industry standards:

•the 1.0 standard, which uses an http:// address scheme

•the 1.1 standard, which uses an ipp:// address scheme

Example using a If “axisps” is the host name of the print server, "631" is the port number Host Name and "LPT1" is the local printer port name, then the syntax of the address

in the 1.0 Standard scheme will be http://axisps:631/LPT1 in the 1.0 standard.

Example using an If “171.16.5.218” is the IP address of the print server and "LPT1" is the IP Address local printer port name, then the syntax of the address scheme will be

in the 1.1 Standard ipp://171.16.5.218/LPT1 in the 1.1 standard.

IPP User Requirements The IPP protocol does not require any special configuration of the Axis Network Print Server, the IPP function is automatically activated when you install your print server.

IPP is platform independent and functional in Windows (NT/98/Me and 2000/XP/2003), Macintosh, NetWare and UNIX/Linux.

Firewall If there are one or more firewalls between the IPP client and the server, Considerations with you may have to make some changes to the firewall configuration. IPP

IPP uses TCP Port 631 for printing, so any firewalls between client and server must be configured to allow bi-directional traffic on that port. Please consult your network administrator if you think any configuration changes are necessary.

How to Print from Windows 98

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

•the address of the print server. The address contains the IP address or host name of the print server and the printer port name.

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

If your destination printer does not exist in your Printer name list, you need to add it. Adding an IPP printer to your printer list is described below.

1.Select the IPP printer to which you want to send your document. Choose the destination printer from the Printer name field (in File Print).

2.When you press Print, the print job is sent over the Internet to the Axis Network Print Server, which then forwards the print job to the destination printer.

3.The recipient of the print job can collect the print job at the destination printer.
