Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a new standards-based system to allow remote printing from a PC to any accessible printer. Normally, the printer will be attached to a computer or other device which functions as an IPP Server. For client PCs, it is necessary to install a compatible IPP Client program. The Wireless PrintServer contains the necessary firmware to act as an IPP Server. However, the following requirements must be met: · The Wireless PrintServer must have a valid IP Address. For printing via the Internet, the Wireless PrintServer's IP Address must be external (allocated by your ISP), rather than an IP Address on your local LAN. · Any Router, Gateway or Firewall linking your LAN to the Internet must NOT block the IPP protocol. · You must advise clients of the correct URL or IP Address of the IPP Server. To use a URL rather than an IP Address, you need to register the domain name for the URL. · Unless clients are using Windows 2000, you must provide your clients with the supplied IPP Client software.
