LPR or RAW is always used when a user wants to use a printer on the local network.
3.1.3 IPP
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is used to send print jobs to a remote printer either directly on
default IPP port 631 or using HTTP on port 80. This has been implemented in many operating
systems, such as Microsoft and Novell. IPP is always used when the client computers send
print jobs over the Internet.
If you want to share a printer with users on a remote network, you need to give the print server
a public IP address or allows it accessible to the outside network. You also need to make sure
your firewall allows IPP services over either port 80 or port 631.
Windows 2000, Windows 2003 and Windows XP support IPP v1.0. To print using IPP in
Windows 98 SE or Windows Me, make sure the IPP client is installed on your computer.
