User Requirements
Considerations
An IPP client needs to be installed on your computer together with an
appropriate printer driver for proper IPP functionality. The IPP client
is a tool that adds destination printers to your printer list.
The AXIS 5400+ print server with integrated IPP is compatible with
any 1.0 and 1.1 - compliant IPP client.
The AXIS 5400+ print server presents IPP Printer objects to the client,
one for each printer port. Some of the most common IPP client
printing methods are described later on in this chapter. Please refer to
your client documentation for more specific information.
Currently available IPP clients on the market are:
• For Windows NT: the Internet Printer Connection software
from Hewlett Packard (can be down-loaded from the Hewlett
Packard web site).
• For Windows 2000: the Microsoft IPP Client (automatically
installed with OS).
• For Windows '95/'98: IPP clients can be downloaded from the
Microsoft web site.
• For Unix/Linux: CUPS (can be down-loaded from the Common
Unix Printing System web-site: http://www.cups.org).
The IPP protocol does not require any special configuration of the
AXIS 5400+ print server, the IPP function is automatically activated
when you install your AXIS 5400+.
IPP is platform independent and functional in Windows (NT, 95, 98
and 2000), Macintosh, OS/2, NetWare and UNIX.
If there are one or more firewalls between the IPP Client and the
Firewall
server, you may have to make some changes to the firewall
configuration. IPP uses TCP Port 631 for printing, so any firewalls
between client and server must be configured to allow bi-directional
traffic on that port. Please consult your network administrator if you
think any configuration changes are necessary.
