<p class=MsoNormal>Sorry, first attempt at sending failed….<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I approve of this IPP project as just that, an IPP
specification. I wish to make sure that this project is not being touted
or viewed as the one and only solution to the real problem of Print Everywhere
and or Cloud Printing (whatever that may end up being). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I do think that a lot of the work for the IPP Everywhere
project can be generalized and abstracted enough to avoid any dependency on a
specific printing protocol.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A realistic examination of the current market would indicate
that there are two existing, well support protocol that can provide solutions
to the Everywhere problem: IPP and WS-Print. Both protocols are well
supported by vendors, although each may be stronger in a particular market
segment. Luckily, since both protocols are based on the PWG Semantic
model, there are enough similarities that a large portion of the work involved
in the IPP Everywhere project can be common and easily mapped to both
protocols.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It may end up that the Print Everywhere problem can be
solved by providing a specification where vendors implement a common set of
data and file formats, and a minimal set of standardized protocols (IPP and
WS-Print, both of which they probably already have). Providing
Cloud Print solution (translated as Google) can then be viewed as the problem
of getting all interested parties to agree on using a model similar to the
Semantic model. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>By abstracting the real meat of the issue away from a
particular print protocol, real world political corporate alignments become a
non-issue, while minimizing the additional work required by printer
vendors. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Providing a common discovery protocol may be a different
issue <span style='font-family:Wingdings'>J</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Just my 2 cents.<o:p></o:p></p>
