Impossible. The client isn't listening on a server port.

> 2. Must the IPP-server wait with the response, on a print-job reque=
st, to

The server should respond to the request before accepting appended docu=
ment
content. See 3.1.7 and 15.4 in the model document.

> 3. How should a non-spooling IPP-server handle concurrent print-job=

> requests?

Return server-error-service-unavailable (0x0502) to indicate that the s=
erver is
temporarily unable to handle a request.

Subject: IPP> IPP > FAQ - How should the server behave?

As mentioned in Maui I would like a FAQ list. Here is my questions when=
I
read the
IPP model & protocol document. I am looking forward to the 'developers
guide', which
should describe the behavior of the IPP printer when an IRQ occour etc.=

1. If an IPP-client transmit a request to the IPP-server and close th=
e
tcp-connection, should the
IPP-server open a new tcp-session and transmit the response?
2. Must the IPP-server wait with the response, on a print-job request=
, to
the whole job is received?
3. How should a non-spooling IPP-server handle concurrent print-job
requests?
