Using the IPP Port
This describes how to install the PCL printer driver using the IPP port.
Manage Printers permission is required to install the driver. Log on as an Administrators group member.
In an IPv6 environment, you cannot use the IPP Port. Use the SmartDeviceMonitor for Client port.
The IPP port cannot be used under Windows 2000. If you are using Windows 2000, install the PCL printer driver using the SmartDeviceMonitor for Client port. To use the SmartDeviceMonitor for Client port, you must first download SmartDeviceMonitor for Client from the supplier's Website. For details about the SmartDeviceMonitor for Client port, see "Using the SmartDeviceMonitor for Client Port".
To print via IPP-SSL under Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, you must install the certificate on your computer before you install the printer driver using the IPP port. For details, consult your administrator.
