IPP Printing Problem

I have a printer on the local network that I need to print to using ipp.  The problem is, I can't.  I can print to it using lpd and the directjet setups, but when I try to use ipp, it just says the "Network host is busy".

All that said, my fundamental issue is that I don't understand these printing protocols very well.  What I have is an app that prints via ipp to an ip you provide.  I have no idea what would cause ipp not to work so I don't know where to start.  I can only assume the printer supports it, but I have no idea how to find out either.  It is an HP laserjet P2015.

Any ideas on how I can wrap my head around this?

Re: IPP Printing Problem

Assuming it's a JetDirect card/box that the printer is using to connect to the network, there are some decent instructions here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/225841 for checking if IPP is available or enabled.

CUPS setup for IPP is documented here : http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/network.html
That may be a good place to start for other reading.
