2. Verify that the gateway is working. Open your Internet browser and enter this web address, replacing serverhostname with the DNS hostname of the system that InfoPrint Manager is installed on: http://serverhostname:631/printers Note: If you do not have a DNS name server running on your network, replace serverhostname with the dotted-decimal IP address of the system that InfoPrint Manager is installed on instead. If the gateway is working correctly, you will see a list of the printers that are available through the gateway. All of your InfoPrint destinations should be listed. Find the address (URI) of the destination you want your users to print to. 3. Refer your users to "Adding an Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) gateway printer to your desktop" on page 332. This step varies depending on which IPP client you are using; follow the instructions for adding a printer as provided by the IPP client. For the printer address, have your users enter the address that you found in step 2. 12 InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Procedures
