IPP clients
An
IPP client
needs to be installed on your computer together with an
appropriate printer driver for proper IPP functionality. The IPP client is a
tool that adds destination printers to your printer list.
The Axis Network Print Server with integrated IPP is compatible with any
1.0 and 1.1 compliant IPP client.
The Axis Network Print Server presents IPP printer objects to the client,
one for each printer port. Some of the most common IPP client printing
methods are described below. Please refer to your IPP client
documentation for more specific information.

IPP Printing
Requirements
Before you print to an IPP printer you need to know:
•
the address
of the print server.
•
the brand and model of the printer
in order to install the appropriate
printer driver.
Address Schemes for
IPP Printers
When using IPP printing, you need to know the IP address or host name
of your Axis print server. IPP is a client/server type protocol which
comprises two industry standards:
•
the 1.0 standard, which uses an http:// address scheme
•
the 1.1 standard, which uses an ipp:// address scheme
Example using a
Host Name
in the 1.0 Standard:
If “axisps” is the host name of the print server, "631" is the port number
and "LPT1" is the local printer port name, then the syntax of the address
scheme will be
http://axisps:631/LPT1
in the 1.0 standard.
Example using an
IP Address
in the 1.1 Standard:
If “192.168.3.191” is the IP address of the print server and "LPT1" is the
local printer port name, then the syntax of the address scheme will be
ipp://192.168.3.191/LPT1
in the 1.1 standard.
