Only info I can give is peripheral: My HL2070N works great when
configured as IPP in the same manner as you show. (it's a cheap
monochrome laser printer).  NOTE: you probably need to specify port
631--mine does:

	ipp://192.168.2.99:631/ipp

which works fine here.

I suspect that color quality depends very much on the paper you use.
