Printing documents securely using IPPS
14
To print documents securely over the internet, you can use the IPPS protocol.
Note
• Communication using IPPS cannot prevent unauthorized access to the printer server.
• IPPS is available for Windows

2000/XP, Windows Vista

and Windows Server
®
2003.
To use the IPPS protocol, the following printer settings are required.
A certificate and private key must be installed in the printer. For how to install certificate and private key,
see
Creating and installing a certificate
on page 142.
The HTTPS protocol must be enabled. To enable the HTTPS protocol, see
Configuring the protocol
settings
on page 136.
The basic steps for IPPS printing are the same as IPP printing. For detailed information, see
