This document specifies the additional enum values 'fold', 'trim', 'bale', 'booklet-maker', 'jog-offset', 'bind-left', 'bind-top', 'bind-right', and 'bind-bottom' for the IPP "finishings" Job Template attribute for use with the Internet Printing Protocol/1.0 (IPP) [RFC2566, RFC2565] and Internet Printing Protocol/1.1 (IPP) [RFC2911, RFC2910]. This attribute permits the client to specify additional finishing options, including values that include a specification of a coordinate system for the placement of finishings operation with respect to the corners and edges of portrait and landscape documents.

This document defines an extension to the Internet Printing Protocol/1.0 (IPP/1.0) [RFC2566, RFC2565] & IPP/1.1 [RFC2911, RFC2910] for the OPTIONAL "output-bin" (type2 keyword | name(MAX)) Job Template attribute. This attribute allows the client to specify in which output bin a job is to be placed and to query the Printer's default and supported output bins.

NOTE: THIS SPECIFICATION IS A "TRAIL USE" STANDARD. FUTURE VERSIONS OF THIS SPECIFICATION WILL DRAW ON IMPLEMENTATION EXPERIENCE AND MAY INTRODUCE INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES.

This document defines an extension to the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) (RFC2911, RFC2910) for the OPTIONAL "-actual" set of Job Description attributes that correspond to Job Template attributes defined in IPP. These "-actual" attributes allow the client to determine the true results of a print job regardless of what was specified in the Create-Job or Print-Job operation.

In traditional printing environments, clients rely on font downloads when they are not sure a given character is embedded in the printer. As printing moves to small clients, downloading may not be an option and clients have a need to know what characters are available in a given device.  

There are many published named character repertoires, and a small client will not know about them all.  

To improve operability, this document defines semantics and naming conventions, to allow a printer to advertise what repertoires it supports.

The primary target of this document is printing using document formats based on XML or HTML (for example, XHTML-Print).  It will be less applicable to traditional PDLs (PCL, PostScript, etc.) because they tend to have very format-specific mechanisms for managing character repertoires.

HTML 4 is a powerful language for authoring Web content, but its design does not take into consideration issues pertinent to printers, including the implementation cost (in power, memory, etc.) of the full feature set. Printers have relatively limited resources that cannot generally afford to implement the full feature set of HTML 4.

Because there are many ways to subset HTML, there are many almost identical subsets defined by organizations and companies. Without a common base set of features, developing print applications for a wide range of printers is difficult.

XHTML-Print's targeted usage is for printing in environments where it is not feasible or desirable to install a printer-specific driver and where some variability in the formatting of the output is acceptable.

The document type definition for XHTML-Print is implemented based on the XHTML modules defined in the W3C's Modularization of XHTML.

This specification defines a subset of the Cascading Style Sheets Level 2 specification with additions from the proposed features of Paged Media Properties for Cascading Style Sheets Level 3, to provide a strong basis for rich printing results without a detailed understanding of each individual printer's characteristics.

It also defines an extension set that provides stronger layout control for the printing of mixed text and images, tables and image collections.

This document specifies an application of PDF (Portable Document Format) that has two important properties: First, it is an "image"-based format, and proper rendering of the document is represented by (binary or color) images. Second, the format is suitable for incremental generation and thus it is a "streaming" format. The subset is called "PDF/is", for "PDF Image-Streamable".

The Print Service Interface is the set of interfaces and methods that enable a Client, such as a Printer, Mobile Device, Web Portal, or Service, to create a Print Job on a Print Service. The Print Service may be used to resolve and access the information to be printed.

This document is a high level overview of the Semantic Model defined by the PWG. This document briefly describes the semantic elements defined in various PWG documents and PWG documents submitted to the IETF. The Semantic Model also incorporates additions made by other groups addressing print systems. With every semantic element included a reference is provided to the document and section that details the semantic definition.

The Semantic Model contains a high level description of the Actions that operate on the objects and attributes in the model. This document does not describe the mapping of the semantics onto a specific protocol or network environment.

This document defines the usage counters for an Imaging System, such as a network spooler, a printer or a multifunction device, and the services such a system offers. This document does not describe mapping of these semantics to XML Schema, MIB or any protocol. Such mappings may be provided in separate documents.

This specification defines the abstract Web-based Imaging Management Service (WIMS) protocol. This specification defines five operations initiated by a WIMS Agent (embedded in services or devices), largely in support of Schedule-oriented remote management: RegisterForManagement (Agent allows management by an identified WIMS Manager); and UnregisterForManagement (cancel Agent association with a given WIMS Manager); GetSchedule (request a Schedule of planned actions); SendReports (send normal operational message); and SendAlerts (send warning or error exception message). This specification also defines four operations initiated by a WIMS Manager to support more conventional local management: BeginManagement (Manager requests ability to manage an identified Agent); EndManagement (Manager cancels association with Agent); SetSchedule (send a Schedule of planned actions with their timetables); ExecuteAction (execute the single identified action). This specification also defines sets of monitoring, management and administration actions that can be included within a Schedule. Transport bindings for the WIMS protocol are identified in the appendix.

This document defines the PWG Printer Port Monitor (PPM) MIB v1.0 that supports printer status monitoring, automatic installation of device drivers, and other printing applications. The PPM MIB is entirely free-standing, but it also facilitates use of the IETF Host Resources MIB (RFC1514 / RFC2790) and IETF Printer MIB (RFC1759 / RFC3805) for printer status monitoring.
