Web-based printer management is an effective way for organizations to share resources. To improve printer performance Windows 2000 print servers introduced support for the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) 1.0 specification, both in the form of a Web-based management infrastructure as well as support for printing over HTTP.
This support continues with Windows Server 2003. This paper discusses the different aspects of IPP and recommended deployment methods. The paper is designed for systems integrators, administrators, and architects who are planning, deploying, or managing Windows print servers.
