The IETF 47 IPP WG meeting was attended by 30 people. We held a quick
walkthrough of all the latest Internet-Drafts, and then concentrated the
discussion about some open questions related to IPP notifications. There are
currently 4 proposals for delivery of notifications. There was some
preference expressed for using the ipp-poll method, which is a direct
extension to the current IPP protocol, as the primary delivery method. There
was also some discussion about the proposed LDAP schema for printers.
Although the semantics in that document seem be agreed we can expect some
pushback from the LDAP community on some of the encoding choices and a
request to have the Sun specifics removed. The IPP chair will continue the
negotiation with the new AAD about an updated/new charter for the remaining
IPP work.
