Great work Bob,
We are gradually getting there.
It looks like IPP is becoming the de facto printing standard out in the
market although it takes time.

> Here is some more information on the Java 1.4 Print Service API:
>
> Print Service API
> The new Print Service API enables Java applications to:
> * discover and select print services based on their capabilities;
> * specify the format of print data;
> * submit print jobs to services that support the document type to be
> printed.

> Here is the initial paragraph from the above URL:
>
> The JavaTM Print Service is a new Java Print API that allows
> printing on all
> Java platforms, including platforms requiring a small footprint, such as a
> J2ME profile, but still supports the current Java 2 Print API. Thie Java
> Print Service API includes an extensible print attribute set based on the
> standard attributes specified in the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) 1.1
> from the IETF. With the attributes, client and server applications can
> discover and select printers that have the capabilities specified by the
> attributes. In addition to the included StreamPrintService, which allows
> applications to transcode data to different formats, a third party can
> dynamically install their own print services through the Service Provider
> Interface
>
> Congratulations to Bob Herriot for working with the Java team to come up
> with this specification that builds on IPP and gets IPP semantics into yet
> another standard.
