Re: Printing to a Windows Print Server using IPP

Hi Charles,

According to this Microsoft support page:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323428/en-us

the syntax you would want to use, assuming the name of
your printer on the Windows 2003 server is p2s-as400,
would be as follows:

http://mywinserver/p2s-as400/

I noticed a potential compatibility issue when reading
the document because it mentions at the bottom of the
page may that the Microsoft IPP implementation will
attempt to download the appropriate Windows printer
driver to a client connecting via IPP after a
successful connection is established. 

Thus I'm not sure whether IPP clients that do not
utilize a Microsoft client operating system or a SAMBA
client connecton can actually work with the Microsoft
IPP implementation or not.

HTH

Best Regards,

subject: Printing to a Windows Print Server using IPP

All,

I've got a Windows 2003 server with attached printer.

IIS as been installed and Internet Print Protocol
(IPP) enabled.

IPP is set to allow anonymous access.

I've tried setting up an IPP device description on

the >400 to print to this printer using the following

remote location:
http://mywinserver/printers/p2s-as400/.printer

But it doesn't seem to want to work.

Note in the DEVD, the port is specified as 631.

I've also tried
http://mywinserver:631/printers/p2s-as400/.printer
http://mywinserver/printers/p2s-as400
http://mywinserver:631/printers/p2s-as400

None of which seem to work, I keep getting a CPD337F

-  >Remote device rejected an attempt by the writer to

open a connection.

Anybody know what the trick is?


Thanks,

Charles Wilt
