Adding an Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) gateway printer to your
desktop
The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is a data transport protocol that lets you print
your documents to any IPP-enabled printer whose IP address you know. You can
use IPP to send print data over both LANs and the Internet, so you can send print
jobs to a network printer from your desk, your home office, or anywhere that you
find an Internet connection. Not all printers are currently enabled to work with
IPP. However, InfoPrint Manager provides an IPP gateway (a mechanism that lets
you use IPP) even if your printers are not IPP-enabled.
Note: You must work with your InfoPrint Manager Administrator to have the IPP
gateway enabled through the Management Console.
An Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) gateway printer is a printer that you create on
a client workstation using IPP client software, such as the Windows 2000 IPP
client. Users submit print jobs to that printer, and they are sent to InfoPrint
Manager through the InfoPrint IPP gateway. The IPP gateway can then send the
job on to any InfoPrint printer, even those that are not IPP-enabled.
To be able to print through an IPP gateway, you must first have IPP client software
installed on your workstation or laptop. IPP client software is available from
various printer vendors; check with your printing system administrator to see
which IPP client your company is using. Once you have the IPP client software
installed, to set up to print through the IPP gateway:
1. Ask your printing system administrator for the address of the printer that you
