AXIS 5500 / AXIS 5550 User’s Manual

Example using an

IP Address

in the 1.1 Standard:

If “171.16.5.218” is the IP address of the print server and "USB1" is the 

local printer port name, then the syntax of the address scheme will be 

ipp://171.16.5.218/USB1 in the 1.1 standard.

The IPP protocol does not require any special configuration of the AXIS 

5500/AXIS 5550, the IPP function is automatically activated when you 

install your print server. IPP is platform independent and functional in 

Windows (NT, 98, Me and 2000/XP), Macintosh, NetWare and 

UNIX/Linux. 

If there are one or more firewalls between the IPP client and the server, 

you may have to make some changes to the firewall configuration. IPP 

uses TCP Port 631 for printing, so any firewalls between client and server 

must be configured to allow bi-directional traffic on that port. Please 

consult your network administrator if you think any configuration 

changes are necessary.

Before you print to an IPP printer you will need to know:

•

the address of the print server. The address contains the IP address or 
host name of the print server and the printer port name.

•

the brand and type of the printer in order to install the appropriate 
printer driver.

If your destination printer does not exist in your Printer name list, you 

need to add it. Adding an IPP printer to your printer list is described 

below.

1. Select the IPP printer to which you want to send your document. Choose 

the destination printer from the 

Printer name field (in File | Print). 

2. When you press 

Print, the print job is sent over the Internet to the AXIS 

5500/AXIS 5550, which then forwards the print job to the destination 
printer.

3. The recipient of the print job can collect the print job at the destination
