In summarizing the IPP feature set (a good idea)...

Jay characterized Job Submission as follows:

I think this is a bit too terse a summary. It gives the impression that
IPP is for printing web pages. I believe the goal for IPP is print
submission via applications and/or to print existing documents as well as
printing direct WEB content such as web pages.
