The IPP protocol does not require any special configuration of the Axis
Network Print Server, 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 address of the print server. The 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.
1. Select the IPP printer to which you want to send your document. Choose
the destination printer from the Printer name
2. When you press Print Print, the print job is sent over the Internet to the Axis Print Print
Network Print Server, which then forwards the print job to the destination
printer.
3. The recipient of the print job can collect the print job at the destination
printer.
1. Install the IPP client for Windows 98 on your computer. This IPP client
can be downloaded from the Microsoft Web site.
