The IEEE's Printer Working Group (PWG) was working on such a protocol. Google for IEEE PWG IFX.
It was to use a (bitmap) PDF subset as the image format, and TCP as the transport. (I can't recall whether SCTP was considered as an alternative.) AFAICT it failed due to a disconnect between two proponents: one group wanted to use it over the 'net and the other for communicating over the LAN with multi-function devices. The former wanted open inward calling whereas the latter wanted to lock down the devices. (I could be wrong about it failing, but that was the impression I got from the mailing list.) If you do want to do something different, use connection oriented sockets (TCP or SCTP) rather than datagram sockets (UDP or DCCP) and use PDF for the image format. -JimC -- James Cloos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
