Hi Dave, Thursday (9 January 2003)
Below is a a PSI protocol stack diagram to disambiguate our terminology
and my best effort to replace the PSI-specific 'targetDevice.xsd' with
simple URLs (with examples and notes).
Cheers,

* Replace 'targetDevice.xsd' with simple URLs
TCP Port
--------
Example:
raw-tcp://somehost.com:9100
Notes:
(1) REQUIRED 'host' or 'ip-addr' MUST be specified
(1) REQUIRED 'port' MUST be specified (cannot be defaulted)
Background:
See the "raw-tcp:" URL scheme defined in the IANA-registered SLPv2
"direct print" template in the directory:
ftp://ftp.iana.org/assignments/svrloc-templates
in the file:
printer_raw-tcp.1.0.en
which extends the base SLPv2 Printer Template v2.0
Fax
---
Example:
fax:+358.555.1234567
Background:
See "fax:" URL scheme defined in "URLs for Telephone Calls" (RFC 2806).
UNC
---
Example:
pwg-unc:\\myprintserver\myprinter
Notes:
(1) Proposed new PWG standard URL scheme for UNC encapsulation
(2) ALL printable ASCII characters are legal in the UNC, including
the BACKSLASH (0x5C)
Background:
Microsoft uses UNC identifiers in Windows environments.
PSI Service Endpoint
--------------------
Example:
pwg-psitd://mypsitarget.mydomain.com:3700/psitd
Notes:
(1) REQUIRED 'host' or 'ip-addr' MUST be specified
(2) OPTIONAL 'port' MUST default to IANA-assigned value
(example assumes port '3700')
Background:
PSI standard URL schemes are defined elsewhere in this PSI spec.
