The AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 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
printer which is connected to the Internet. 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:
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
list. A list of available IPP clients can be viewed in IPP clients, on page 77.
• The printer to which you want to send your print job needs to be connected
a print server with IPP functionality
to
for your printer to receive print jobs from an IPP client. The IPP
functionality of the AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 is automatically activated upon
installation.
Before you print to an IPP printer you need to know:
• 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
IPP enabled 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 AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550, "631" is the port
number and "USB1" is the local printer port name, then the syntax of the
address scheme will be
http://axisps:631/USB1
If "171.16.5.218" is the IP address of the AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 and "USB1" is
the local printer port name, then the syntax of the address scheme will be
ipp://171.16.5.218/USB1
. The print server makes it possible
in the 1.0 standard.
in the 1.1 standard.
