IPP Gateway printer

InfoPrint Manager for Windows provides 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 InfoPrint Manager Web Management Interface (WMI) to enable the IPP Gateway.

    Important:
  • You can start multiple IPP Gateway instances using both secured and unsecured protocols.

An IPP Gateway printer is a printer that you create on a client workstation using IPP client software. Users submit print jobs to that printer, and they are sent to InfoPrint Manager through the InfoPrint Manager IPP Gateway. The IPP Gateway can then send the job on to any InfoPrint Manager printer, even those that are not IPP-enabled.

These are the IPP to InfoPrint Manager attribute mappings in the IPP Gateway:

IPP attribute InfoPrint Manager attribute
print-color-mode color-bits-per-plane
orientation-requested content-orientation
copies copy-count
media default-medium
printer-resolution default-printer-resolution
finishings job-finishing
job-hold-until job-hold
job-priority job-priority
number-up number-up
output-bin output-bin
page-ranges page-select
print-quality print-quality
sides sides

    Note:
  • The value of the output-bin attribute must match one of the values in the printer output-bin-numbers attribute.

The IPP Gateway transparently converts incoming PWG Raster (image/pwg-raster) data to PDF before submitting jobs to InfoPrint Manager.

The following color spaces are supported for PWG Raster input:

Color Space Bits/Pixel Description
DeviceGray 1, 8, 16 Monochrome/Grayscale
sGray 8, 16 sRGB Grayscale
DeviceRGB 24, 48 Device RGB
sRGB 24, 48 Standard RGB (most common)
AdobeRGB 24, 48 Adobe RGB wide gamut
CMYK 32, 64 Process color
