Chapter 8: Internet Printing
Protocol (IPP)
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a new 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 that functions as an IPP Server. For
client PCs, it is necessary to install a compatible IPP Client program. The
Client must also know the IP Address or URL of the IPP Server.
The PrintServer contains the necessary firmware to act as an IPP Server. No
additional configuration is necessary. However, the following requirements
must be met:
· The PrintServer must have a valid IP Address. For printing via the Internet,
the PrintServer’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. (IPP Protocol uses Port Services 631/TCP.)
· 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, 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.
Installing using IPP CLIENT.EXE
1. Run this program, located at d:\driver\ipp\ipp client.exe, to unzip the
included files.
2. The IPP Setup program will then run.
3. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
