Chapter 7: Special Features
Overview
The Print Server has three (3) special features:
• IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) support
• Proprietary Internet Mail Printing system.
• SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is fully
supported by all models.
Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a new standards-based system
to allow remote printing from a PC to any accessible printer.
Normally, the printer will be attached to a computer or other
device, which functions as an IPP Server.
For client PCs, it is necessary to install a compatible IPP Client
program. The Client must also know the IP Address or URL or the
IPP Server.
IPP Server Configuration
The Print Server contains the necessary firmware to act as an
IPP Server. No additional configuration is necessary. However,
the following requirements must be met.
• The Print Server must have a valid IP Address. For printing via
the Internet, the Print Server's IP Address must be external
(allocated by your ISP), rather than an IP Address on your
local LAN.
• Any Router, Gateway or Firewall linking your LAN to the
Internet must NOT block the IPP protocol.
• You must advise clients of the correct URL or IP Address of
the IPP Server. To use a URL rather than an IP Address, you
need to register the domain name for the URL.
