How do I connect to a remote printer using IPP from Vista?

Question

I am trying to connect to a remote printer using IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) from a Vista machine. Can anyone point me to some instructions?

The owner of the Linux server it is running on has given me the URL ipp://hostname/printers/printername

Answer 1

I'm guessing if you're conencting via IPP, the printer is on a CUPS server

CUPS uses port 631, so you'll need to use something like http://192.168.0.1:631 for the host

Assuming you're connecting to a CUPS printer, your full URL will be in the format

http://192.168.0.1:631/printers/printer_name

substituting in the IP address of your print server and the printer name you specified in CUPS as appropriate
