IPP Printing from Windows

®

 2000/XP Clients

If you wish to print using the IPP protocol, follow these steps:

1

From the Printers folder select Add Printer. The Add Printer 
Wizard will now start. Click on Next.

2

Select Network Printer.

3

Click the Connect to a printer on the Internet or on your 
intranet option.

You must now enter a URL name. A typical example of a URL 
name for a printer that supports the IPP protocol is: 

http://

ip_address:631/ipp

 (where 

ip_address

 is the IP 

address, NetBIOS name or DNS name of the print server).

5

Click the Next button.

Windows

®

 2000/XP will now connect to the device that you 

specified and determine the model number of the printer. If the 
appropriate driver is installed on the PC, it will be used. If the 
appropriate driver is not available you will be asked to insert the 
driver diskette that was supplied with the printer.

7

Follow the Wizard through to the end of the installation.

Click the Finish button to complete the Wizard.

client PC, provided that the PC has the ability to connect to and

 systems. 

Once installed, this software will allow you to connect to a Windows

®

2000/XP system that is also running IIS and send print jobs using the 
IPP protocol.

By using Microsoft's IPP software you can also send jobs to other 
printers that do not support the IPP protocol.
