IPP Printing
Requirements
Before you print to an IPP printer you need to know:
• the http:// address of the print server. (The http:// address
contains the IP address or host name of the print server, the port
number (which is 631 and only used in the 1.0 standard) and
the printer port name).
• the brand and model of the printer in order to install the
appropriate printer driver.
• the printer port name of the print server to which the printer is
connected.
Address-schemes for
IPP printers
When using IPP printing, you need to know the IP address or host
name of your IPP-enabled Axis print server. IPP is a client-server type
protocol which comprises two industry standards:
• the 1.0 standard, which uses a http: address scheme.
• the 1.1 standard, which uses an ipp: address scheme.
The URL syntax for the destination printer contains:
1. the print server host name or IP-address
2. the port number 631 (only used in the 1.0 standard).
3. the local printer port name
Example using host
name in the 1.0
standard:
If “axisps” is the host name of the AXIS 5400+ print server, "631" is
the port number and "LPT1" is the local printer port name, then the
syntax of the address scheme will be http://axisps:631/LPT1 in the
1.0 standard.
Example using IP-
address in the 1.1
standard:
If “171.16.5.218” is the IP-address of the AXIS 5400+ print server
and "LPT1" is the local printer port name, then the syntax of the
address scheme will be ipp://171.16.5.218/LPT1 in the 1.1 standard.
