This chapter covers the special features of the Print Server.
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a 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.
Client PCs need a compatible IPP Client program. Windows 2000 and XP
include a suitable IPP client. For other versions of Windows, a client
program is supplied on the Print Server's CD-ROM.
The Client must also know the IP Address or URL or the IPP Server.
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.
Unless clients are using Windows 2000 or XP, you must provide your
■
clients with the supplied IPP Client software. If it is not convenient to
provide the CD-ROM, supply the IPP_CLIENT.EXE file, located in the IPP
folder.
