Internet Printer Connection
Software
HP Jetdirect print servers (firmware version x.07.16 or later)
support the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). Using the appropriate
software on your system, you can create an IPP print path from your
system to any HP Jetdirect-connected printer over the Internet.
Note
For incoming print path requests, the network
administrator must configure the firewall to accept
incoming IPP requests. Security features available
in the software are currently limited.
Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003
Note
Contact Microsoft for support of Windows IPP
software.
For supported Windows systems, Internet printing connection
software is included with the system.

external print server (port1, port2, or port3) that the printer is
connected to. The default is port1.
