Address-schemes for
IPP printers
When using IPP printing, you need to know the IP address or host
name of your IPP-enabled Axis print server. IPP is a client-server type
protocol which comprises two industry standards:
•
the 1.0 standard
, which uses a http: address scheme.
•
the 1.1 standard
, which uses an ipp: address scheme.
The URL syntax for the
destination printer
contains:
1. the
print server host name or IP-address
2. the
port number
631 (only used in the 1.0 standard).
3. the
local printer port name
Example using host
name in the 1.0
standard:
If “axisps” is the host name of the AXIS 5600+ 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 IP-
address in the 1.1
standard:
If “171.16.5.218” is the IP-address of the AXIS 5600+ print server
and "LPT1" is the local printer port name, then the syntax of the
address scheme will be
ipp://171.16.5.218/LPT1
in the 1.1 standard.
Currently available
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 5600+ print server with integrated IPP is compatible with
any 1.0 and 1.1 - compliant IPP client.
