All,
This is a working group Last Call for the following two IPP 
documents:
        Internet Printing Protocol (IPP): Requirements for Job, 
      Printer, and Device Administrative Operations
        <draft-ietf-ipp-ops-admin-req-00.txt>
        
        Internet Printing Protocol(IPP): Job and Printer
        Administrative Operations
        <draft-ietf-ipp-ops-set2-02.txt>
The latest version of these document have been forwarded to 
the Internet Draft directory.
Please note that the Requirements document was previously part of 
the Job and Printer Administrative Operations (aka Set 2), but was
broken out to a separate document as that text should go into an 
Informative document, while the remaining text should be a Proposed 
Standard document.
-----
The Last Call notice follows:
        This is a formal request for final comments within the IETF IPP
working group for four documents. The document are:
        "Internet Printing Protocol (IPP): Requirements for Job, 
      Printer, and Device Administrative Operations"
        
        "Internet Printing Protocol(IPP): Job and Printer
        Administrative Operations"
which are being proposed for forwarding on to the IESG for consideration as 
RFCs. The first document is intended as an Informational  document, while
the 
second is intended as a Proposed Innternet Standards documents.
These two documents are complementary to the previous suite of IPP/1.0 and 
IPP/1.1 documents. This is a working group product, which has been
thoroughly discussed since early 1999.
The purpose of a working group Last Call is in the style of "speak now or
forever hold your peace" in case there are fundamental objections which have
not gotten previous or adequate discussion, or minor errors which need
correction.
Last Calls are for a minimum of 2 weeks. We will start the Last Call period
tomorrow Tuesday 22 August, 2000 and the period for working group comments
will close on Tuesday 5 September, 2000 (US Pacific time reference).
The relevant documents are:
        Title		: Internet Printing Protocol (IPP):  
                          Requirements for Job, Printer, and Device 
                          Administrative Operations
        Author(s)	: C. Kugler, H. Lewis, T. Hastings
        Filename	: draft-ietf-ipp-ops-admin-req-00.txt
        Pages		: 12
        Date		: 17-Aug-00
        
This document is a submission to the Internet Printing Protocol Working 
Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).  After approval, it 
is intended to be an Informational RFC.  Comments should be submitted to 
the ipp@pwg.org mailing list.   
This document specifies the requirements and use cases for some OPTIONAL 
administrative operations for use with the Internet Printing 
Protocol/1.0 (IPP) [RFC2565, RFC2566] and IPP/1.1 [ipp-mod, ipp-pro].  
Some of these administrative operations operate on the IPP Job and 
Printer objects.  The remaining operations operate on a new Device 
object that more closely models a single output device (see [ipp-mod]).
