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.
Title : Mapping between LPD and IPP Protocols
Author(s) : R. Herriot, T. Hastings, N. Jacobs, J. Martin
Filename : draft-ietf-ipp-lpd-ipp-map-02.txt
Pages : 22
Date : 24-Nov-97
This Internet-Draft specifies the mapping between (1) the commands
and operands of the ''Line Printer Daemon (LPD) Protocol'' specified
in RFC 1179 and (2) the operations and parameters of the Internet
Printing Protocol (IPP). One of the purposes of this document is
to compare the functionality of the two protocols. Another purpose
is to facilitate implementation of gateways between LPD and IPP.
This document is an informational document that is not on the
standards track. It is intended to help implementors of gateways
between IPP and LPD. It also provides an example, which gives
additional insight into IPP.
WARNING: RFC 1179 was not on standards track. While RFC 1179 was
intended to record existing practice, it fell short in some areas.
However, this specification maps between (1) the actual current
practice of RFC 1179 and (2) IPP. This document does not attempt
to map the numerous divergent extensions to the LPD protocol that
have been made by many implementers.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipp-lpd-ipp-map-02.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.
