What I tried to say is that if the data is sensitive enough to require =
a
secure socket, it's likely the printer should also be, physically, in a=
secure
area. If every IPP printer must support HTTPS (for example) then one co=

easily be duped into thinking they were engaged in "secure printing" wh=

indeed, they are not.
