All,
This is a working group Last Call for the following two IPP
documents:
Internet Printing Protocol (IPP): Requirements for Job,
Printer, and Device Administrative Operations
<draft-ietf-ipp-ops-admin-req-00.txt>
Internet Printing Protocol(IPP): Job and Printer
Administrative Operations
<draft-ietf-ipp-ops-set2-02.txt>
The latest version of these document have been forwarded to
the Internet Draft directory.
Please note that the Requirements document was previously part of
the Job and Printer Administrative Operations (aka Set 2), but was
broken out to a separate document as that text should go into an
Informative document, while the remaining text should be a Proposed
Standard document.
-----
The Last Call notice follows:
This is a formal request for final comments within the IETF IPP
working group for four documents. The document are:
"Internet Printing Protocol (IPP): Requirements for Job,
Printer, and Device Administrative Operations"
"Internet Printing Protocol(IPP): Job and Printer
Administrative Operations"
which are being proposed for forwarding on to the IESG for consideration as
RFCs. The first document is intended as an Informational document, while
the
second is intended as a Proposed Innternet Standards documents.
These two documents are complementary to the previous suite of IPP/1.0 and
IPP/1.1 documents. This is a working group product, which has been
thoroughly discussed since early 1999.
The purpose of a working group Last Call is in the style of "speak now or
forever hold your peace" in case there are fundamental objections which have
not gotten previous or adequate discussion, or minor errors which need
correction.
Last Calls are for a minimum of 2 weeks. We will start the Last Call period
tomorrow Tuesday 22 August, 2000 and the period for working group comments
will close on Tuesday 5 September, 2000 (US Pacific time reference).
The relevant documents are:
Title : Internet Printing Protocol (IPP):
Requirements for Job, Printer, and Device
Administrative Operations
Author(s) : C. Kugler, H. Lewis, T. Hastings
Filename : draft-ietf-ipp-ops-admin-req-00.txt
Pages : 12
Date : 17-Aug-00
This document is a submission to the Internet Printing Protocol Working
Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). After approval, it
is intended to be an Informational RFC. Comments should be submitted to
the ipp at pwg.org mailing list.
This document specifies the requirements and use cases for some OPTIONAL
administrative operations for use with the Internet Printing
Protocol/1.0 (IPP) [RFC2565, RFC2566] and IPP/1.1 [ipp-mod, ipp-pro].
Some of these administrative operations operate on the IPP Job and
Printer objects. The remaining operations operate on a new Device
object that more closely models a single output device (see [ipp-mod]).

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org 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.
