IPP> More work on LDAP 'printer' schema from Sun

Hi folks,

I just noticed browsing the I-Ds directory the following

"An LDAP Directory Schema Solution for Printers"
by Ken Jones (Sun) from 18 February 2000.

In the directory 'ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/'

<draft-sun-ldap-print-schema-00.txt>

(Sorry that URL won't fit on one line)

The document abstract says that it describes an LDAP
directory schema for print services, building upon the
work done by the IPP WG and with an extension class to
support existing Sun Microsystems printing system
implementations.

The document cites the most recent (January 2000) version
of the SLP 'printer:' template.  I haven't read this yet,
but we should all be looking at it.

Harry Lewis and Pat Fleming at IBM, perhaps we should
collaborate with this fellow Ken Jones?  Several competing
LDAP versions of the IPP/SLP directory schema we don't
need.

Cheers,
- Ira McDonald (consulting architect at Sharp Labs America)
