9.1 Introduction

IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) Printing provides a

convenient way of remote printing service by TCP/IP. The

print server can support IPP printing by default. It is

needless to do any setting. Any PC that can support IPP

printing, for example Windows 2000/XP, can directly uses

the print server by IP. By using the IPP printing, you can

share the printer to all the PC’s that can access the print

server by IP. You can even share your printer to Internet

users.
