<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been asked to find out if there is a way in IPP to speed up the way multiple small jobs print when they are all released at the same time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Use case is encrypted pull printing/ follow-me printing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Printers are made by vendor A<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Server software is made by Vendor B<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Printer embedded client is made by Vendor C<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">User prints all day long and sends their jobs to a server that holds all the user’s jobs. Jobs may be sent via LPR, Socket 9100, IPP, or any other method from multiple operating systems.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">User walks up to a printer with a 3<sup>rd</sup> party embedded software that lets them see their jobs on that server. User selects several or all of their jobs, and releases them for print.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The server then uses IPP or IPPs to push the jobs to the printer.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What we see is that IPP is considerably slower than Socket 9100 printing. Socket 9100 printing allows the server to grab all the jobs and put a @PJL JOB wrapper around the individual documents and essentially prints them as one PJL job.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a way to do this using IPP or IPPs for this particular use case?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Obviously the user did not create an “IPP-JOB” that contains multiple documents, but rather multiple Jobs that contain only one document each.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The client on the printer only shows a job list to the user so there is really no way the client could create the “IPP-Job” after the fact?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a known way for the server that sends those individual jobs to the printer to do something similar to putting a @PJL JOB wrapper around the documents to avoid the unnecessary traffic, certificate exchanges, etc. for an IPPs job?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Would it make sense to have the server create an IPP JOB that contains all the previously separate jobs?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let me know what you think. If there already is a known way to do this, great, if not, maybe this is a good idea?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just to clarify, this is not a Ricoh specific issue. Our particular offering for this use case does not suffer from this problem.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Vendor B is ready to make a change to how this is handled when IPPs is used, they just don’t see IPP supporting this use case. What is the “right way” to solve this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
