ippproxy - a simple ipp proxy client

ippproxy [ --help ] [ --version ] [ -d device-uri ] [ -m mime/type ] [ -p password ] [ -u user ] [ -v[vv] ] infrastructure-printer-uri

ippproxy is a simple IPP proxy client conforming to the IPP Shared Infrastructure Extensions (INFRA) specification. It can be used to proxy access to a local IPP printer through an Infrastructure Printer such as ippserver(8).

The following options are recognized by ippproxy:

Show program help.
Show program version.
Specifies the local device using its URI. ippproxy supports "ipp", "ipps", and "socket" URIs.
Specifies the output format as a MIME media type. ippproxy supports "application/vnd.hp-pcl" (HP PCL), "image/pwg-raster" (PWG Raster), and "image/urf" (Apple Raster). The default is to choose an output format automatically.
Specifies the password to use when authenticating with the Infrastructure Printer.
Specifies the user name to use when authenticating with the Infrastructure Printer.
Be (very) verbose when logging activity to the standard output.

The ippproxy program returns 1 if it is unable to process the command-line arguments or connect to either the infrastructure or local printers. Otherwise ippproxy will run continuously until terminated.

The ippproxy program conforms to PWG Candidate Standard 5100.18: IPP Shared Infrastructure Extensions (INFRA).

Run ippproxy with an infrastructure URI of "ipps://host.example.com/ipp/print" and a local URI of "ipp://10.0.1.42/ipp/print":


ippproxy -d ipp://10.0.1.42/ipp/print ipps://host.example.com/ipp/print
