A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Internet Printing Protocol Working Group of the IETF. Title : Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Encoding and Transport Author(s) : R. Herriot, S. Butler, P. Moore, R. Turner, J. Wenn Filename : draft-ietf-ipp-protocol-v11-00.txt Pages : 34 Date : 22-Feb-99 This document is one of a set of documents, which together describe all aspects of a new Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). IPP is an application level protocol that can be used for distributed printing using Internet tools and technologies. This document defines the rules for encoding IPP operations and IPP attributes into a new Internet mime media type called 'application/ipp'. This document also defines the rules for transporting over HTTP a message body whose Content-Type is 'application/ipp'. This document defines a new scheme named 'ipp' for identifying IPP printers and jobs. Finally, this document defines rules for supporting IPP/1.0 clients The full set of IPP documents includes: Design Goals for an Internet Printing Protocol [ipp-req] Rationale for the Structure and Model and Protocol for the Internet Printing Protocol [ipp-rat] Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Model and Semantics [ipp-mod] Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Encoding and Transport (this document) Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Implementer's Guide [ipp-iig] Mapping between LPD and IPP Protocols [ipp-lpd] The document, 'Design Goals for an Internet Printing Protocol', takes a broad look at distributed printing functionality, and it enumerates real-life scenarios that help to clarify the features that need to be included in a printing protocol for the Internet. It identifies requirements for three types of users: end users, operators, and administrators. It calls out a subset of end user requirements that are satisfied in IPP/1.1. Operator and administrator requirements are out of scope for version 1.1. The document, 'Rationale for the Structure and Model and Protocol for the Internet Printing Protocol', describes IPP from a high level view, defines a roadmap for the various documents that form the suite of IPP specifications, and gives background and rationale for the IETF working group's major decisions.The document, 'Internet P A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipp-protocol-v11-00.txt Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP.

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipp-protocol-v11-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
