I agree with Bill Wagner that there may be confusion about which
fax protocol the quote references. Perhaps, we could get a revised quote
(first clause changed) that says something like:
"Printing lacks a standard industry-wide protocol.
It is critical that key industry players
implement a standard protocol for submitting documents
over the Internet to remote printers. With active
participation by major printer, browser, and networking
companies, the IPP Working Group is on a fast track to
provide such a solution."
