IPP - Internet Printing Protocol

AXIS 5900 User’s Manual 123

Section 11 IPP - Internet Printing Protocol

The Axis Network Print Server enables printing over the Internet with IPP

(Internet Printing Protocol), an industry standard that allows users to

print to remote printers across the Internet.

With IPP, a user with an Internet connection can send a document to any

printer which is connected to the Internet. IPP is platform independent

and can be used to print over any LAN or WAN that supports TCP/IP.

In practical terms, this means that you can send documents to a remote

printer as an addition to or replacement of fax and e-mail, with the same

quality and color options of traditional network printing.

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 Network Print Server with integrated IPP is compatible with any

1.0 and 1.1 compliant IPP client.

The Axis Network 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 below. Please refer to your IPP client

documentation for more specific information.
