Using Internet Printer Protocol

This appendix explains how to use Internet Printer Protocol (IPP) to access the Print Server using Internet Protocol (IP). Using this method, the printers con- nected to the Print Server can be accessed by users over the Internet, provided they know the printer model, printer port, and IP address of the Print Server.

Setting Up the Print Server

It is not necessary to modify the Print Server’s settings to implement IPP. The user should be familiar with the Print Server’s IPP settings, making sure they are cor­rectly set to the network’s IP settings. If unaware of the network’s routed IP settings, contact the system administrator. To share the Print Server with Internet users outside the local area network (LAN), the Print Server must be configured with an outside IP address and if a gateway, router, or firewall is installed, that these devices do not block the IPP. Contact the system administrator or consult the gateway or router user manual for more information about DMZ or port mapping configura- tion settings.

Accessing the Print Server via IPP

If the Print Server is properly configured using IPP, accessing a printer connected to it over the Internet is done using the standard “Add New Printer” procedure:
b
1. From the computer’s desktop, select Start, then Control Panel.

4. The first “Add Printer Wizard” window appears. Click Next.
62
Page 66
Appendix b Using Internet Printer Protocol
5. In the next window, select “A network printer, or a printer attached to another
computer” by clicking in the appropriate circle, then click Next.
6. In the next window, select “Connect to a printer on the Internet or on a home
or office network” by clicking in the appropriate circle, then enter the URL of the Print Server and printer in the “URL” text box. The format of the URL is as follows: http://Print Server IP address:631/printer port number. In the example below, the Print Server IP address is “192.168.2.1,” and the printer port number (the Print Server port to which the printer is connected) is “p1.” Click Next.
7. Complete the Add Printer Wizard in the usual fashion.
The Print Server is now accessible via the Internet.

Access Point
A device that allows wireless clients to connect to one another. An access point can also act as a bridge between wireless clients and a “wired” network, such as an Ethernet network. Wireless clients can be moved anywhere within the cover­age area of the access point and remain connected to the network. If connected to an Ethernet network, the access point monitors Ethernet traffic and forwards appropriate Ethernet messages to the wireless network, while also monitoring wireless traffic and forwarding wireless client messages to the Ethernet network.
ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)
A networking technology based on transferring data in fixed-size packets
Client
A desktop or mobile computer connected to a network.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
A protocol designed to automatically assign an IP address to every computer on your network.
DNS (Domain Name System) Server Address
Allows Internet host computers to have a domain name and one or more IP addresses. A DNS server keeps a database of host computers and their respective domain names and IP addresses so that when a user enters a domain name into a Web browser, the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server address used by computers on the home network corresponds to the location of the DNS server the ISP has assigned.
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) Modem
A modem that uses existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.
Encryption
A method to allow wireless data transmissions a level of security.
ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier)
A unique identifier for a wireless network. Also known as “SSID.”
