Using the IPP Gateway with InfoPrint Manager for AIX

InfoPrint Manager for AIX now includes an Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) gateway. The IPP gateway lets users anywhere in the network who have IPP client software installed to submit print jobs through InfoPrint Manager, even to printers that are not IPP-enabled. Users must follow the instructions provided with the IPP client to add a printer to their desktops. Use the startippgw utility or SMIT (InfoPrint Printing Systems → InfoPrint Utilities → IPP Gateway Daemon) to enable the IPP gateway.

    Note:
  • For information about the startippgw, stopippgw, and lsippgw daemon utilities available to use with the IPP Gateway on AIX, see the RICOH InfoPrint Manager: Reference.
  • The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is an application protocol that uses the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to allow you to print your documents to any IPP-enabled printer
