AXIS 5900 User’s Manual

When using IPP printing, you need to know the IP address or host name 

of your Axis print server. IPP is a client/server type protocol which 

comprises two industry standards:

•

the 1.0 standard, which uses an http:// address scheme

•

the 1.1 standard, which uses an ipp:// address scheme

Example using a

Host Name

in the 1.0 Standard

If “axisps” is the host name of the 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.

Example using an

IP Address

in the 1.1 Standard

If “171.16.5.218” is the IP address of the 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.

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

Network Print Server, 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/2003), 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 

Network Print Server, 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 

printer.
