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 5600+ print server with integrated IPP is compatible with
any 1.0 and 1.1 - compliant IPP client.
The AXIS 5600+ print server 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 client documentation for more specific information.
For Windows 2000/XP: the Microsoft IPP Client (automatically
•
installed with OS).
For Windows 95/98, NT 4.0: IPP clients can be downloaded
•
from the Microsoft web site.
For Windows NT/2000: the Internet Printer Connection software
•
from Hewlett Packard (can be downloaded from the Hewlett
Packard web site).
For Unix/Linux: CUPS (can be down-loaded from the Common
•
Unix Printing System web-site: http://www.cups.org).
The IPP protocol does not require any special configuration of the
AXIS 5600+ print server, the IPP function is automatically activated
when you install your AXIS 5600+.
IPP is platform independent and functional in Windows (NT, 95, 98,
2000 and XP), Macintosh, OS/2, NetWare and UNIX.
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.
