Internet Printing Installation
Overview
Quick Tips:
Windows ® 2000/XP users can print using TCP/IP using the standard Network Printing software and IPP
protocol software built into any Windows ® 2000/XP installation.
IPP printing from HL-4200CN is not supported by Mac OS ® X or Linux using CUPS.
Windows ® 2000/XP IPP Printing
Use the following instructions if you wish to use the IPP printing capabilities of Windows ® 2000/XP.
1
Run the Add Printer Wizard and click the Next button when you see the Welcome to the Add
Printer Wizard screen.
2
You are now able to select Local Printer or Network Printer. Make sure that you select Network
Printer.
3
You will see the Add Printer Wizard screen.
4
Select Connect to a printer on the Internet or on your intranet and then enter the following in
the URL field:
http://printer_ip_address:631/ipp (Where printer_ip_address is the
IP address or DNS name of your printer).
5
When you click Next, Windows ® 2000/XP will make a connection with the URL that you specified.
IF THE PRINTER DRIVER HAS ALREADY BEEN INSTALLED
If the appropriate printer driver is already installed on your PC, Windows
® 2000/XP will automatically use
that driver for use. In this case, you will simply be asked if you wish to make the driver the default driver,
after which the Driver installation Wizard will complete. You are now ready to print.
IF THE PRINTER DRIVER HAS NOT BEEN INSTALLED
One of the benefits of the IPP printing protocol is that it establishes the model name of the printer when
you communicate with it. After successful communication you will see the model name of the printer
automatically. This means that you do not need to inform Windows
® 2000 the type of printer driver to be
used.
