# Using the IPP Port

This describes how to install the PCL or PostScript 3 printer driver using the IPP port.

- Manage Printers permission is required to install the driver. Log on as an Administrators group member.

- You can install the printer driver from the CD-ROM provided with this machine or download it from the manufacturer's Web site.

- To print via IPP-SSL under Windows Vista/7 or Windows Server 2008/2008 R2, you must install the device certificate on your computer before you install the printer driver using the IPP port. For details, consult your administrator.
