[IPP] IPP Scan - Is Push scanning mandatory?

Pete,

I'm not sure it makes much sense to include the push schemes in the TXT record since you need to load the hardcopy to be scanned on a particular device - probably better to browse for _ipp._tcp,_scan and then do a Get-Printer-Attributes to get the values you are looking for, *if* you really wanted an application that could help a user find a MFD with push scan capabilities.

The more likely use case is that you browse to find the MFD you just loaded the hardcopy in, send an Identify-Printer to confirm, and then send a Get-Printer-Attributes to get the MFD capabilities (which might include whether push scan to an email address is possible, for example).  For that you don't need the push schemes in the TXT record...

Any push-related attributes would be conditionally required if the service supports push.  And any retry-related attributes would be conditionally required for services that do output spooling.
