I'm a printing customer interested in this thing called IPP.
Would someone be so kind as to elucidate the compelling reasons
and benefits for having multiple notification recipients. I
guess I understand the concept. I just don't quite see the value.
CM> We DO have a requirements documents where this is all documented,
but to save you the time to read that, the main reasons for multiple
notification recipients are:
1) when you send a document to a different location, you want to notify
the person who is supposed to pick up the document that it has been
printed, in addition to yourself.
2) when you send a print job from home or a hotel room to your printer
in the office, you may want to notify your secretary or admin to
pick it up from the printer when ready, again in addition to
yourself.
Please be patient and contribute what you can to this thread,
since it will likely be referenced later on when real customers
ask these kinds of questions, and it would be nice to have the
summary background and rationale in a small, digestable format.
(Have you ever seen a customer choke when you hand them a copy
of the IPP spec? It's not a pretty sight, I assure you. ;-)
CM> You are quite right. Who is volunteering to write the "IPP for Dummies"
book?
