A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the Internet Printing Protocol
Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Mapping between LPD and IPP Protocols
Author(s) : T. Hasting, R. Herriot, N. Jacobs, J. Martin
Filename : draft-ietf-ipp-lpd-ipp-map-00.txt
Pages : 12
Date : 07/15/1997
This Internet-Draft specifies the mapping between (1) the commands and
operands of the "Line Printer Daemon (LPD) Protocol" specified in RFC 1179
and (2) the operations and parameters of the Internet Printing Protocol
(IPP). One of the purposes of this document is to compare the
functionality of the two protocols. Another purpose is to facilitate
implementation of gateways between LPD and IPP.
WARNING: RFC 1179 was not on standards track. While RFC 1179 was intended
to record existing practice, in some areas it fell short. However, this
specification maps between (1) the actual current practice of RFC 1179 and
(2) IPP. This document does not attempt to map the numerous divergent
extensions to the LPD protocol that have been made by many implementors.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipp-lpd-ipp-map-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
