Network Printing

Printing via IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) – Windows

Me/98SE

To print via IPP under Windows Me/98SE, you must first do the following:

1 Go to http://www.microsoft.com/Windows98/downloads/contents/WUPre-

views/IPP/Default.asp and follow the instructions to download WPN-

PINS.EXE, the Internet Print Services update file for Windows 98SE.

2 Install the WPNPINS.EXE file by locating it in Windows Explorer and then

double-clicking the WPNPINS.EXE.

Adding an IPP port

There are three ways to add an IPP port under Windows Me/98SE: Using

setup.exe, using the Add Printer Wizard (without a printer driver already

installed), and using the Add Port (with a printer driver already installed).

Using setup.exe

Double-click setup.exe in the drivers\english\Win9x folder on the Utilities and

Documentation CD-ROM. (Unless otherwise noted, all dialog boxes pictured

here are taken from a Windows Me operating system.)

1 In the second dialog box select the

Network Printer radio button and then

choose OK.

2 In the Network Path text box in the

next dialog box enter the printer’s net-

work pathname in one of the following

formats and then choose OK:

 http://ipaddress:80/ipp

 http://ipaddress:631/ipp

 ipp://ipaddress:80/ipp

 ipp://ipaddress:631/ipp

If you enter an invalid pathname, the following error message displays:

“This network printer is currently offline or unavailable. You can install the

printer now, but you will not be able to print to it until it comes back online

or is made available.” Choose Cancel to return to the previous dialog box

and then type a valid pathname.
