Secure Print IPP Queues

HP includes an IPP Driver built on the Printer Working Group’s IPP Everywhere™ standard to support thousands of printer models across all manufacturers—from low-end single-function printers to large, departmental MFPs. Previously, support for IPP Driver was available for Secure Print Direct only.

The HP Insights 3.5.0 release added support for the HP IPP Driver for HP Secure Print. This also changed the default print driver of the HP Secure Printer from the HP Universal Printing PCL 6 driver to the HP IPP Driver.

Note: For existing customers, the upgrade process will keep the HP Universal Printing PCL 6 driver. However, if you wish to switch the secure queue to use the new IPP driver, you will need to uninstall the previous Print Scout and install the Print Scout provided in the HP Insights current release.

Key features of the HP IPP Driver:

  • Print jobs are submitted to the printers using IPP or IPPS
  • Does not require printer manufacturers' drivers
  • Supports paper size selection, double-sided print mode, color or black and white printing, page ranges, multiple copies, and advanced finishing options like stapling and “n-up.”

Supported Clients

64-bit Microsoft Windows 10 or later

Note: 32-bit versions are not supported.

Print Scout Configuration Update

The Print Scout Configuration tool includes the Secure Queue Settings for Deployment section, providing IT admins with the option to configure the driver type for the HP secure queue. It also facilitates the creation of default finishing options for the secure queue.

There are two driver types to choose from:

  • IPP Class Driver – This is the default option for new installs. This will set the secure queue to use the HP IPP Driver.
  • Manufacturer Driver –This will set up the secure queue to use HP Universal Printing PCL 6 driver.

Note: If your organization does not have a HP Secure Print license, the Secure Queue Settings for Deployment section will be greyed out.

HP IPP Driver Printing Preferences dialog

The default finishing options (i.e., print settings) for an IPP queue depend on how they are configured in the Print Scout Configuration Tool. Users can change the finishing options before sending their print job to a printer.
