33.2. Adding an IPP Printer
An IPP printer is a printer attached to a different system on the same TCP/IP network. The system this
printer is attached to may either be running CUPS or simply configured to use IPP.
If a firewall is enabled on the printer server, then the firewall should be configured to allow send /
receive connections on the incoming UDP port 631. If a firewall is enabled on on the client (the system
sending the print request) then the firewall must be allowed to accept and create connections through
port 631.
You can add a networked IPP printer by clicking the New Printer button in the main Printer
Configuration Tool window to display the window in Figure 33.2, "Adding a Printer". Enter the
Printer Name (printer names cannot contain spaces and may contain letters, numbers, dashes (-),

configure on your system. Click Forward to proceed.
