I agree with Mike on this. If I am a client and communicating with / using IPP Printers hosted on an IPP print server, I would want the Identify-Printer to map to the IPP Printer, which may or may not be implemented as a sub-system of the physical hardware of the print server (as represented by the System Control Service).
From that cloud discussion the other day, and this topic, I really feel like we need to have pictures, so that people can discuss topics from unambiguous scenarios. Trying to verbally describe the topology of a graph of edges and vertices can be awfully error prone.
