First you need to configure the printer in CUPS, and then try:

ipp://192.168.1.105/ipp/port1

 (but see below first)

If cupsd is running and you are on 192.168.1.105 then yes you should.
The default is to listen only on the localhost, so you won't be able to
connect from another machine.  Add a Listen directive in
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf on 192.168.1.105:

Listen hostname:631

Check again and make sure port 631 is open.
