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.
• For Windows 2000/XP/2003: the Microsoft IPP Client (automatically
installed with the Operating System).
For Windows 98, NT: IPP clients can be downloaded from the
•
Microsoft Web site.
• For UNIX/Linux: CUPS (can be downloaded from the Common Unix
Printing System Web site at www.cups.org).
• If you wish to print using iPrint over IPP, use AXIS IPP Gateway
Configuration Snap-in for iPrint in NetWare 5.x. It is available on
www.axis.com (Support | Select Software). See its read-me file for
installation instructions.
• For Windows NT/2000: the Internet Printer Connection software from
Hewlett Packard (can be downloaded from the Hewlett Packard Web
site).
IPP Printing
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.
When using IPP printing, you need to know the IP address or host name
IPP Printers
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
If "axisps" is the host name of the print server, "631" is the port number
Host Name 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.
If "171.16.5.218" is the IP address of the print server and "LPT1" is the
IP Address
local printer port name, then the syntax of the address scheme will be
ipp://171.16.5.218/LPT1 in the 1.1 standard.
