My company has an HP Color LaserJet MFP E77822 on the network. Not attached to a print server or anything. Just on the network.
And I can add it to my Windows workstation just fine via the "add printer using tcp/ip address or hostname" option in Windows and connecting by just a standard tcp/ip port. Printing works fine when I do this.
But now we're being told we'll need to connect via IPP (actually IPPS but I'm starting with IPP first to make sure I can connect to it at all without certificate issues).
And every time I try to add, I get an error message "Windows couldn't connect to the printer. Check the printer name and try again."
I'm using the "select a shared printer by name" option as described here https://zedt.eu/tech/windows/installing-an-ipp-printer-in-windows-10/
I'm using names like "http://" and "http:///ipp" . Perhaps I'm not using the right path there? Or should I not be using "select a shared printer by name" method to add an IPP printer?
If I choose to add by IP or Host name using an address like above, it never seems to connect either. It goes through the motions and I select a driver. But sending things to the printer just seems to have things go the queue in the "printing" state but nothing happens.
IPP/IPPS is enabled on the printer. And I have installed the IPP print client and server on my workstation. I think there's a concept I'm fundamentally not understanding about this.
