IPP - Internet Printing Protocol

The AXIS 5800+ Mobile print server enables printing over the
Internet with IPP (Internet Printing Protocol), a developing
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 appropri-
ate 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 85.
• The printer to which you want to send your print job needs to be
connected to a print server with IPP functionality. AXIS 5800+
Mobile makes it possible for your printer to receive print jobs
from an IPP client. The IPP-functionality of the AXIS 5800+
Mobile print server is automatically activated upon installation.
