AXIS 5400+ / AXIS 5600+ User's Manual
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 5400+/AXIS 5600+ with integrated IPP is compatible with any 1.0
and 1.1 compliant IPP client.
The AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ presents IPP printer objects to the client, one for
each printer port. Some of the most common IPP client printing methods are
described later on in this chapter. Please refer to your IPP client documentation
for more specific information.
For Windows NT/2000: the Internet Printer Connection software from
•
Hewlett Packard (can be downloaded from the Hewlett Packard Web site).
For Windows 2000/XP/2003: the Microsoft IPP Client (automatically
•
installed with the Operating System).
• For Windows 98, NT 4.0: 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, the following Axis snap-in tool is
available from www.axis.com (Support | Select Software):
• AXIS IPP Gateway Comfiguration Snap-in for i-Print in NetWare 5.x.
See the read-me file for installation instructions.
The IPP protocol does not require any special configuration of the AXIS
5400+/AXIS 5600+, the IPP function is automatically activated when you
install your print server.
IPP is platform independent and functional in Windows (NT, 98, Me and
2000/XP/2003), Macintosh, NetWare and UNIX/Linux.
If there are one or more firewalls between the IPP client and the server, you
may have to make some changes to the firewall configuration. IPP uses TCP
Port 631 for printing, so any firewalls between client and server must be
configured to allow bi-directional traffic on that port. Please consult your
network administrator if you think any configuration changes are necessary.
Before you print to an IPP printer you will need to know:
the http:// address of the print server. The http:// address contains the IP
•
address or host name of the print server and the printer port name.
the brand and type of the printer in order to install the appropriate
•
printer driver.
If your destination printer does not exist in your Printer name list, you need to
add it. Adding an IPP printer to your printer list is described below.
