Section 10 IPP
Overview
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a TCP/IP based client-server
protocol. IPP enables printing over any LAN or WAN supporting
TCP/IP. The most prevalent example of this is IPP printing over the
Internet, which is illustrated below.

In practical terms this means that you can send documents to a remote
printer as an addition to or replacement of fax and e-mail, with the
same quality and color options of traditional network printing.
