IPP - Internet Printing Protocol

The AXIS 5900 print server enables printing over the Internet
with IPP (Internet Printing Protocol), an industry standard that
allows users to print to remote printers across the Internet.
With IPP, a user with an Internet connection can send a
document to any Internet-connected printer. IPP is platform-
independent and can be used to print over any LAN or WAN
that supports TCP/IP.
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.
In order to print to a remote printer using IPP, you need the
following:
• An IPP client installed on your computer together with appro-
priate printer drivers. The IPP client is a tool that adds destination
printers to your printer list. A list of available IPP clients can be
viewed in IPP clients, on page 82.
• The printer to which you want to send your print job needs to
be connected to a print server with IPP functionality. AXIS 5900
makes it possible for your printer to receive print jobs from an IPP
client. The IPP-functionality of the AXIS 5900 print server is auto-
matically activated upon installation.
