Randy's right (IMHO), that the REAL challenge is to get IPP clients
out in the field. Printers and print server systems will probably
support LPR/LPD long into the future, and Randy makes a good point
that existing clients will continue to use that infrastructure.
Bob has made some good points in the last few messages, but I think
Randy has really hit the nail on the head...at least with respect to
LPR/LPD.
Windows may be a different animal to deal with, though...
