It's not an app - rather it's a protocol, which has to be
supported by your OS, the network and the recieving print
equipment.
Most OS's, including Android, support the ipp:// protocol.

You can configure your home network to accept IPP through
the router, give permissions in firewall and to your
printing device; but there are serious security issues if
done incorrectly.
Network admins generally hate exposing their networks too
much, and for printing they often use rigid policies (quota
and stuff). Nevertheless I've seen institutional/corporate
network printing that by default forwards mobile print jobs
to the nearest printer or wherever one wants to pick up the
pages.

Has very little to do with applications - it's an OS and
networking thing.
