Section 12: IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) AXIS 5470e/570/670e User’s Manual
204
Before you print to an IPP printer you will 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 5470e/570/670e 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.
IPP address using host name Corresponding printer
http://axisps:631/LPT1 Printer attached to the LPT1 parallel port
http://axisps:631/LPT2 Printer attached to the LPT2 parallel port
http://axisps:631/COM1 Printer attached to the COM1 serial port
