Windows® Clients
Versions of Windows® prior to XP did not have the capability to natively network with IPP-based printers. However, Windows® XP and later versions do have this capability. Therefore, to add a CUPS printer in these versions of Windows® is quite easy. Generally, the Windows® administrator will run the Windows® Add Printer wizard, select Network Printer and then enter the URI in the following syntax:
http://server-name-or-ip:631/printers/printername
