We have a document in the form of an Internet-Draft that we would like
to make available for that BOF. The document is a specification for the
Internet Printing Protocol (IPP).
The title of that document is:
"Internet Printing Protocol - IPP/1.0"
The abstract is:
--------------
This Internet-Draft specifies an Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). This
protocol is heavily influence by the semantic operations and attributes
defined in ISO/IEC 10175 Document Printing Application (DPA) parts 1 and
3. It also incorporates some of the implementation and interoperability
lessons learned from other printing related standards such as POSIX
System Administration - Part 4 (POSIX 1378.4) and X/Open A Printing
System Interoperability Specification(PSIS).IPP is defined as a set of
abstract data types and operations. The operations are implemented
using a simple request and response mechanism built on top of HTTP.
The abstract data types are encoded as simple ASCII text strings.The IPP
protocol covers only end user operations on basic print service objects.
Authentication is realized by mechanisms outside the scope of the
protocol, but the protocol does introduce some access control
functionality so that only authorized end users are allowed to submit print
jobs to printers whose implementation and site policy support access
control. Also, the Cancel Job operation requires some authentication so
that jobs can only be canceled by the end user who submitted the job.
Extended monitoring and management is possible through other protocols
such as the SNMP Printer MIB. In the areas where there are no existing
standards, some proposed and emerging standards are being worked
(management, security, etc.). As these services become more stable,
this document (and hence the protocol) can be updated to reflect the
integration and relationships with these other standards.

I would like a document name assigned so that we can make
this draft available ASAP.
