[IPP] "printer-uri" path component recommendation in the new implementers guide

Hi Pete,

+1.

I *could* add this as a SHOULD in the IETF "ipps:" URI Scheme draft
for print services (and reference IPP FaxOut and IPP Scan for the other
service paths?).

It can't be a MUST, because it would break deployed usage with CUPS
of "ipps:" (since administrators won't have observed all any convention).

I would also like to add guidance (with SHOULD) in the "ipps:" URI Scheme
for Job URI values (e.g., derived from the print queue's URI by adding
exactly
one component which SHOULD include the integer "job-id" value as a string).

Remembering that, when it's finally published, the "ipps:" RFC will have
high
visibility for implementors.

Opinions?

Cheers,
- Ira
