Section 9 IPP - Internet Printing Protocol
IPP Printing
Requirements
Address-schemes for
IPP printers
Example using host
name in the 1.0
Before you print to an IPP printer you need to know:
• the http:// address of the print server. (The http:// address
contains the IP address or host name of the print server, the port
number (which is 631 and only used in the 1.0 standard) and
the printer port name).
• the brand and model of the printer in order to install the
appropriate printer driver.
• the printer port name of the print server to which the printer is
connected.
When using IPP printing, you need to know the IP address or
host name of your IPP-enabled Axis print server. IPP is a client-
server type protocol which comprises two industry standards:
• the 1.0 standard, which uses a http: address scheme
• the 1.1 standard, which uses an ipp: address scheme
The URL syntax for the destination printer contains:
1. the print server host name or IP-address
2. the port number 631 (only used in the 1.0 standard)
3. the local printer port name
If "axisps" is the host name of the AXIS 5900 print server, "631"
is the port number and "LPT1" is the local printer port name,
standard:
then the syntax of the address scheme will be
http://axisps:631/LPT1 in the 1.0 standard.
