An IPP printer is a printer attached to a different Linux system
on the same network running CUPS or a printer configured on another
operating system to use IPP. By default, the Printer Configuration Tool browses the network
for any shared IPP printers. (This option can be changed by
selecting => from the pulldown menu.) Any networked
IPP printer found via CUPS browsing appears in the main window
under the Browsed queues category.
If you have a firewall configured on the print server, it must
be able to send and receive connections on the incoming UDP port,
631. If you have a firewall configured on the client (the computer
sending the print request), it must be allowed to send and accept
connections on port 631.
If you disable the automatic browsing feature, you can still add
a networked IPP printer by clicking the New button in the main Printer Configuration Tool window to display the
window in Figure
34-2. Click Forward to proceed.
In the window shown in Figure 34-3, enter
a unique name for the printer in the Name
text field. The printer name cannot contain spaces and must begin
with a letter. The printer name may contain letters, numbers,
dashes (-), and underscores (_). Optionally, enter a short
description for the printer, which can contain spaces.
After clicking Forward, Figure 34-5
appears. Select Networked CUPS (IPP) from
the Select a queue type menu.
Text fields for the following options appear:
Click Forward to continue.
Next, select the printer type. Refer to Section 34.7 Selecting the
Printer Model and Finishing for details.
