Zebra Technologies Understanding Zebra Printer Protocols: How to Use IPP for Efficient Printing

Using Printing Protocols

Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)

Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)

Important • You must have IPP support on your system.

IPP is an application-level protocol that is used for distributed printing over the Internet. Using IPP from any standard IPP client, you can transfer jobs to a printer that is connected to your ZebraNet PSII device and the Internet.

Important • IPP support is not available on all PSII printers. To be certain you are running the latest version of firmware, visit our web site.

To setup your PSII to support IPP, complete these steps:

1.Open a browser.

2.Enter the PSII IPP URL as follows: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:631/ipp/port1

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = the IP address of the PrintServer II device

:631 = a fixed value

/ipp = a fixed string designating IPP /port1 = a fixed value

Example • Your address might look like this:

http:198.60.248.120:631/ipp/port1

Note • Since IPP does not have an official standard, usage depends entirely on the quality of the IPP client and server.
