Jay,

I was probably the one who brought this up. About the where, I think the
primary place would be to insert it in a printing dialogue window dedicated
to IPP printing.

Based on more recent discussions in the WG, I do not see a major difference
whether I write:

PRINTER: ipp://www.manros.com/ipp-printer

or

PRINTER: http://www.manros.com/ipp-printer

the same way as you use telephone numbers for both TEL: and FAX: on you
cards today.
