IPP client
• An installed on your computer together with appropriate printer
drivers. The IPP client is a tool that adds destination printers to your printer

a print server with IPP functionality
to
for your printer to receive print jobs from an IPP client. The IPP

the http:// 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 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 and
"LPT1" is the local printer port name, then the syntax of the address scheme

If "171.16.5.218" is the IP address of the 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.
