Example using an
IP Address
in the 1.1 Standard:
If “171.16.5.218” is the IP address of the print server and "USB1" is the
local printer port name, then the syntax of the address scheme will be
ipp://171.16.5.218/USB1 in the 1.1 standard.
IPP User Requirements The IPP protocol does not require any special configuration of the AXIS
5500/AXIS 5550, the IPP function is automatically activated when you
install your print server. IPP is platform independent and functional in
Windows (NT, 98, Me and 2000/XP), Macintosh, NetWare and
UNIX/Linux.
Firewall
Considerations with
IPP
If there are one or more firewalls between the IPP client and the 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.

Print from

• the address of the print server. The address contains the IP address or
host name of the print server and the printer port name.

printer driver.

the destination printer from the Printer name field (in File | Print).
