The Printer Working Group (PWG) is a Program of the IEEE Industry Standard and Technology Organization (ISTO) with member organizations including printer manufacturers, print server developers, operating system providers and print management application developers. The group is chartered to make printers and the applications and operating systems supporting them work together better.
Michael has been working in the PWG on the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) since 1998. Michael is also one of IANA's designated experts for IPP and the Printer MIB. Prior to joining Apple, he founded Easy Software Products and developed the popular open source printing system CUPS which uses several PWG standards to provide printing services on many operating systems. At Apple, Michael designs and implements printing solutions for Apple products, continues to develop CUPS, and represents Apple for all printing standards work.

The Working Group meets face-to-face several times per year, depending on activity. Information about these meetings may be found on the Face to Face Meeting Schedule page.
While the face-to-face meetings are very important, much of the work of the PWG is done using email distribution lists and via weekly or bi-weekly teleconferences.
