Well, here we go again...
Is it just me, or are we running into the embedded printer requirements
versus the print server requirements. If we are talking about IPP, the
host to device protocol, then I agree that the device need only support
a limited number of notification clients. If we are talking about IPP,
the print client to server protocol, then I believe that print server
ought to be able to scale to 100's, even 1000's, of clients.
