The P1394
printer working group is chartered
to define a specification and develop a protocol layer for the
IEEE-1394 High Speed Serial Bus to facilitate the delivery of print
data from a source to a target device.
This effort resulted in IEEE
Std. 1394.3-2003.

Print Services Interface (PSI) is
the set of
interfaces and methods that enable a Client such as a Printer, a Mobile
Device, Web Portal, or service to set up and invoke a print job from a
Print Service. The Print Service may be used to resolve and access the
information to be printed.
This work project resulted in PWG
5104.2-2005.

Character
Repertoires, is a set
of interfaces and best practices to allow a
print client to learn about characters that can be rendered in a
printer. It defines a naming mechanism for a printer to announce what
character reportoires it is able to render, as well as best practices
designed to reduce complexity for lightweight clients.
This work
project resulted in PWG 5101.2-2004.

XHTML-Print is a
simple
XHTML-based data stream suitable for printing in addition to display.
It is based on the W3C’s XHTML Basic with the addition of cascading
style sheets (CSS). Its targeted usage will be for printing in
environments where it is not feasible or desirable to load a
printer-specific driver, and where some variability in the formatting
of the printed output is acceptable. Information about the group can be
found on the XHTML-Print
Working Group Page.
This work
has now been transitioned to
the W3C. See the XHTML-Print Working
Group Page for links to those
documents.

UPDF, Universal Printer Description File
Project is developing a means by which the
characteristics and
capabilities of a printers and the means to access them are described
in a text file. This file is then used by a Universal Printer
Driver to create the printer datastream appropriate for this specific
printer. The Universal Printer Driver is envisioned to be a
standard part of some future operating system(s).
This work
project resulted in PWG 5101.4-2004.

IPP Fax is used to
provide a
synchronous, reliable exchange of image documents between clients and
servers using the Internet Printing Protocol.
It is envisioned as a real-time internet fax-like service for document
image sending and receiving.
This work
project resulted in PWG 5102.3-2004 and is currently in hibernation.

SENSE
is a
mechanism for delivering asynchronous notifications of events in a
computer network. Underscore is rapidly developing a prototype SENSE
framework in the Unix domain to test performance, integration, and
usability ideas and issues.
This work
project is currently in hibernation.
