Hi Harry,
Agreed - we should have defined an email (specifically SMTP) job
submission channel long ago. Many printers have this feature.
Using 'other(1)' is _bad_.
I suspect a few parameters (like the IPP three musketeers) about
authentication and security modes to use would be appropriate
(like listing SASL, S/MIME, PGP, XML Digital Signatures, etc.).
Cheers,

Subject: PMP> e-mail print Channel definition
Some printers have implemented printing of e-mail attachments. It would be
benificial to enumrate a seperate channel for this behavior. Even though
we have not standardized the implementation I would like to propose an
additional to PrtChannelTypeTC along the lines of :
chSMTP(45) -- Print job submission via SMTP.
-- Keyword: Mailto
-- Syntax: Name
-- Status: Mandatory
-- Multiplicity: Single
-- Default: not applicable
-- Description: E-mail sent to this address will be printed
What do others think about this idea?
