[IPP] Questions for the stable draft of IPP FaxOut

[IPP] Questions for the stable draft of IPP FaxOut

Mike,

Out of curiosity, it would seem possible (and perhaps it already exists) for
a cell phone to use its camera as a scanner and to implement Scan and/or
FaxOut services, perhaps even using an IPP binding.  Should we be
considering that?
Thanks,
Bill Wagner

Correct.  Apologies if I wasn't clear below, but Send-Hardcopy-Document is
only required for printers with scanners.
