12.3.5. Adding an IPP Printer
An IPP printer is a printer attached to a different system on the same TCP/IP network. The system this printer is attached to may either be running CUPS or simply configured to use IPP.
If a firewall is enabled on the printer server, then the firewall must be configured to allow incoming TCP connections on port 631. Note that the CUPS browsing protocol allows client machines to discover shared CUPS queues automatically. To enable this, the firewall on the client machine must be configured to allow incoming UDP packets on port 631.
Follow this procedure to add an IPP printer:
In the list of devices on the left, select and or .
On the right, enter the connection settings:
- Host
the hostname for the system that controls the printer
- Queue
the queue name to be given to the new queue (if the box is left empty, a name based on the device node will be used)
Optionally, click Verify to detect the printer.
Click Forward to continue.
