IPP Printing
Requirements
Before you print to an IPP printer you need to know:
• the print server’s IP-address or host name
• the local printer port name, which for AXIS OfficeBasic USB Wireless G is
lp1.
• the brand and model of the printer in order to install the appropriate
printer driver.
Address-scheme for
IPP printers
The AXIS OfficeBasic USB Wireless G supports the IPP 1.0 standard (which uses
the
http: address scheme) and the IPP 1.1 standard (which uses the ipp://
standard).
Example using host
name in the 1.0
standard:
If “192.168.3.191” is the IP address of the print server, "631" is the port number
and "lp1" is the local printer port name, then the syntax of the address scheme
will be
http://192.168.3.191:631/lp1.
Example using host
name in the 1.1
standard:
If “192.168.3.191” is the IP address of the print server and "lp1" is the local
printer port name, then the syntax of the address scheme will be
ipp://192.168.3.191/lp1.
IPP clients
An IPP client needs to be installed on your computer together with an
appropriate printer driver for proper IPP functionality. An IPP client is a tool
that adds destination printers to your printer list.
Examples of available
IPP clients
•
For Windows 2000/XP/2003: the Microsoft IPP Client (automatically
installed with OS).
• For Windows 2000: the Internet Printer Connection software from
Hewlett Packard (can be downloaded from the Hewlett Packard web site).
Firewall
Considerations
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.
IPP Printing from
Windows
In this example the print server’s IP address is 192.168.3.191. Thus, the IPP
printer’s syntax is
http://192.168.3.191:631/lp1.
