Example using IP-
address in the 1.1
standard:
If “171.16.5.218” is the IP-address of the AXIS 5470e 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.
Currently available IPP clients
An IPP client needs to be installed on your computer together with an
appropriate printer driver for proper IPP functionality. The IPP client
is a tool that adds destination printers to your printer list.
The AXIS 5470e print server with integrated IPP is compatible with
any 1.0 and 1.1 - compliant IPP client.
The AXIS 5470e print server presents IPP Printer objects to the client,
one for each printer port. Some of the most common IPP client
printing methods are described later on in this chapter. Please refer
to your client documentation for more specific information.
Some examples of IPP clients on the market:
• For Windows NT: the Internet Printer Connection software from
Hewlett Packard (can be down-loaded from the Hewlett Packard
web site)
• For Windows 2000/XP: the Microsoft IPP Client (automatically
installed with OS)
• For Windows 95/98: IPP clients can be downloaded from the
Microsoft web site
• For Unix/Linux: CUPS (can be down-loaded from the Common
Unix Printing System web-site: http://www.cups.org)
