A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the Internet Printing Protocol
Working Group of the IETF.

This document is one of a set of documents which together describe all
aspects of a new Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). IPP is an application
level protocol that can be used for distributed printing on the Internet.
There are multiple parts to IPP, but the primary architectural components
are the Model, the Protocol and an interface to Directory Services. This
document provides a high level overview of the architecture and provides
the rational for the decisions made in structuring the architecture.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipp-rat-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
