How to Configure Windows 2012 R2 Print Server to recive IPP print jobs?
HI Experts,
I am working on a project were I need to configure a Windows 2012 R2 print Server to receive IPP print jobs from a cloud based system running Java script. we are using https://github.com/williamkapke/ipp as the IPP library to send the print jobs to our Print server but I don't think that we have our Print Server configured properly.
I installed the Print and Document Services Role and ticked the internet printing option. I have configured a printer to be shared and can access the web portal and it is listed under all printers. the address that I get is 'http://XXX.XXX.X.XXX/printers/PackingPrinter/.printer' but when I try to use this in our test environment across our local network I just get errors. I am also having issues with Authentication that I would like to resolve, I need to turn off the authentication for the purpose of testing.
Can some one help me understand how windows handles IPP and what ports it uses and how i can test the IPP server?
All help is very much appreciated.
Cheers Joel

Thanks Brian,
I I should Clarify that we are wanting to use this to automatically print from our ERP solution (NetSuite). this will save a lot of processing time downloading PDF files and printing them. the issue is that all these printers need to be able to be printed to from PCs on the local network as well as from the Cloud.
from my understanding of what you are telling me is that IPP is not the best solution. you mention Google Cloud Print, Do you have any ther products that you can suggest. the only requirement is that we can print or send the PDF files from java Script.

I once wrote a paper on IPP printing for zero clients (Citrix?). What I stating stating is if your running Citrix, all printers, all data is internal, your good. Now, I am not a Software Developer. I was the first to resolve zero client printing to my knowledge. But it was Internal only. Hence IPP. Even internal, it was barely used. Why? IPP requires IIS, and a print server. That print server requires drivers that talk to a printer. If you DMZ all that off, you have a solution - otherwise a disaster. IPP has nothing to do with PDF or Java Script?
Keep it internal, Zero Client, printer drivers IPP, works great. I wrote the paper on it. PDF or Java Script. Not my strong suite. If I can help, I can, otherwise, don't expose external.
