This really depends on which firewall software you're running (ipf or ipfw). I believe ipp uses TCP port 631, so you probably just want to open that port. I recommend checking out the manpage for your firewall (man ipfw or man ipf). I use ipfw, so I would add a command like: ipfw add permit log tcp from any to 204.1.1.1 631 Where 204.1.1.1 is the IP address of my print server. This assumes you're not doing any NAT.
