Chapter 8: Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)

Overview

Wireless-G PrintServer

Chapter 8: Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)

Overview

Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is a standards-based system that allows 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 IPP. (IPP 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 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 setup.exe file, located in the IPP folder.

Windows IPP Client Setup

Installing using setup.exe

1.

Run this program, located at d:\driver\ipp\setup.exe, to unzip the included files.

2.

The IPP Setup program will then run.

3.

Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
