IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) Printing provides a convenient way of printing remotely
using TCP/IP. The MFP Server supports IPP printing in Windows 2000/XP/2003 by
default. Using IPP printing, you can share the printer with all PC’s that can access the
MFP Server by IP. The MFP or printer can also be shared with users via the Internet.
System Setup - Server Side
No server side settings are required, other than to ensure that the MFP Server has the
correct IP settings. If you want to share the printer(s) with users via the Internet, a real IP
Address needs to be set for the MFP Server. Also, please ensure that nothing is blocking
the IPP protocol (gateway, router or firewall) if installed on your network.
System Setup - Client Side
To configure the MFP server on the client side, follow the Add New Printer procedure:
1 Click Start, choose Settings and select Printers and Faxes.
2 Click Add a Printer.
3. Once the Add Printer Wizard is
displayed. Click Next.
4. Select A network printer, or a printer
attached to another computer. Click
Next.
5. Select Connect to a printer on the
Internet or on a home or office network
and enter the URL of the MFP Server.
The URL format is http://IP:631/Port
Name. The IP address should be the
MFP Server’s IP address. The standard
port designation for the IPP standard is
631.Port Name is the port name of the
MFP Server to which your printer is
connected. The default port name is lpt1.
One example of the URL is
http://192.168.2.2:631/lpt1. After entering
the URL of the MFP Server, click Next.
6. Select a suitable printer manufacturer and
the printer model and click Next. If your
printer is not in the list, click Have Disk…
to install the necessary driver. After
installation, the printer model will be
added to the list.
7. Choose whether or not to set the printer
as the default. Click Next.

Server Utilities
Once installation has completed, there will be three utilities displayed in the MFP Server’s
Program folder:
Network Port Setup – Allows users to add or remove the MFP Server printer port to
or from the client computer.
During the MFP Server’s installation procedure, the system will automatically search for
all MFP Servers on the network, and add the printer port of the MFP Server you have
selected to the user computer (see Figure 1-29).
If you have just installed another new MFP Server on
the network, you must run this program first. This
program will search for new MFP Servers and
conveniently allow you to add the new network printer
port to your computer. Perform the standard Add
Printer procedure, which will allow print directly from
the printer through the newly installed MFP Server.
Please note that the Network Port Setup Utility can only detect and configure MFP
Servers within the same network; it cannot search or configure the MFP Servers on other
subnets across network segments
Server Configuration – Allows you to configure IP Address, network protocols and
other advanced functions.
Uninstall – Program designed to remove all installed Print Server software.
