Printer requirements

Printix is designed to work with any printer that meets these requirements:

Network is connected with a static IP address.
SNMP is enabled on the printer. Both SNMPv1 and SNMPv3 are supported.
- Printers that do not support SNMP can be added manually.
The printer supports the RAW (port 9100), IPPS (port 443, 631), IPP (port 80, 631), or LPR (port 515) printing protocol. Use of other port numbers is also supported.
Page counting works for PCL5, PCL6, PDF, PostScript, Canon UFR II, and Epson (ESC/PAGE and ESC/P-R).
- Pages are not counted for printers that rely on the computer to process (rasterize) the pages. These printers are also known as GDI or host-based printers.
Locally attached USB printers on Windows computers are supported with Printix Redirector.
- Printix Client for Windows supports locally attached USB printers on home office networks (Printix Redirector is not required).

You can only print from computers that reach the printer on the network.
