All,
This is a working group Last Call for the "Internet Printing Protocol (IPP):
Printer Installation Extension". A version of this documents has been
forwarded to the Internet Draft directory as <draft-ietf-ipp-install-02.txt>
PDF and Word versions of the drafts are also posted at the ietf-ipp web
site:
ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/
The Last Call notice follows:
This is a formal request for final comments within the IETF IPP working
group for one document. The document is "Internet Printing Protocol (IPP):
Printer Installation Extension", which is being proposed for forwarding on
to the IESG for consideration as Standards Track RFC.
This is a working group product, which has been thoroughly discussed since
mid 2000, and I believe that we now have working group consensus on its
adequacy.
The purpose of a working group Last Call is in the style of "speak now or
forever hold your peace" in case there are fundamental objections which have
not gotten previous or adequate discussion, or minor errors which need
correction.
Last Calls are for a minimum of 2 weeks. The period for working group
comments will close on Monday, 26 March, 2001 (US Pacific time reference),
to allow review during the upcoming IETF50 Meeting.
The relevant document is:

Various client platforms require that some setting up take place at
the workstation before the client can properly submit jobs to a
specific printer. This setup process is sometimes referred to as
printer installation.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipp-install-02.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
