and "LPT1" is the local printer port name, then the syntax of the address

IPP User Requirements
The IPP protocol does not require any special configuration of the AXIS
5550, 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), Macintosh, NetWare and UNIX/Linux.
Firewall
Considerations with
IPP
If there are one or more firewalls between the IPP client and the server,
you may have to make some changes to the firewall configuration. 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.
