Paul, > (Actually I quite like 'printto:' - what do others think). Glad you brought this up. If the final resolution of this whole scheme issue results in something *other* than "http:", then I'd prefer Keith's suggestion of "print:" as a scheme as opposed to your "printto:", since the "to" suffix is both unnecessary and counter-intuitive (given that the PDU can very well contain requests that are not job submissions). > Saying that IPP lets me know that its a printer is an excuse for bad design. > Any UI that expects people to differentiate by hovering over the link and > looking at the status bar is broken. Perhaps you're right that the UI should *not* expect this "hovering" behavior, but nonetheless it is quite prevalent from what I've experienced. That is, I don't think we should discount the frequency and value of hovering as part of a positive user experience. > Nobody is going to put printer URLs on their business cards. Do you really believe this? I mean, an aweful lot of IPP proponents (in the PWG) clearly believe that one of the greatest values of IPP is its use as a fax-alike mechanism. I honestly don't think such a capability is nearly as powerful a potential as some of these people seem to believe, but there will be some who actually implement this, IMHO. ...jay ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- JK Martin | Email: jkm@underscore.com -- -- Underscore, Inc. | Voice: (603) 889-7000 -- -- 41C Sagamore Park Road | Fax: (603) 889-2699 -- -- Hudson, NH 03051-4915 | Web: http://www.underscore.com -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
