I'm curious how this host-to-device protocol for printing would differ
from IPP 1.0?

	Paul, what people were you unable to persuade?  Internal
Microsoft
	folks, or PWG folks, or both or what?


	For fear of sounding as if I'm beating a dead horse to death:


	  Enterprise environments desparately need a fully functional
	  host-to-device protocol for network printing.


	Am I alone in this belief???  (I know for a fact I am NOT
along.)


	Will others in the PWG share their views using this new thread?
	If this belief turns out to be a minority view, then I'd
certainly
	like to know (so I can drop the subject once and for all, if
so).
