     - If :ref:`SavaPage IPP Everywhere <ch-printer-ipp-everywhere>`
       is configured in a Local Network, the corresponding printer
       is automatically detected as Default in the “Printers & Scanners > Add”
       dialog and can directly be used without any configuration. |br| 
       |br|

       -  :ref:`IP Based Authentication <ch-auth-ip-based>` or :ref:`Basic
          Authentication <ch-auth-basic>` is needed before submitting a print job.

     - You can add any SavaPage Local IPP Printer according to the 
       :ref:`SavaPage Printer URI syntax <app-url-printers>`.
       Add a new printer and enter data in the “Printers & Scanners > Add” 
       dialog as follows: |br| 
       |br|
       
       -  Click the **IP** printer button and select IPP for Protocol.
       
       -  At **Address**, enter the IP address or host name of the SavaPage Print 
          Server *including* the port number.

       -  Enter ``printers`` at **Queue** for the default queue, or ``printers/[queue]``
          for any other specific queue. See :ref:`SavaPage URI syntax <app-url-printers>`.

       -  Enter the **Name** of the queue. SavaPage is the obvious choice here.

       -  **Use** the default “Generic PostScript Printer”, or use “Other” to select
          the ``SAVAPAGE.ppd`` you downloaded earlier.

       -  :ref:`IP Based Authentication <ch-auth-ip-based>` or

       -  For Internet Printer settings,
          see :ref:`Internet Printer <ch-webapp-user-main-user-details-internet-printer>`
          (no additional authentication is needed).
