The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is an application-level protocol
for distributed printing using Internet tools and technologies. This
document describes a simplified model consisting of abstract objects,
attributes, and operations that is independent of encoding and
transport. The model consists of several objects, including Printers
and Jobs. Jobs optionally support multiple Documents.
IPP semantics allow End Users and Operators to query Printer
capabilities; submit Print Jobs; inquire about the status of Print
Jobs and Printers; and cancel, hold, and release Print Jobs. IPP
semantics also allow Operators to pause and resume Jobs and Printers.
Security, internationalization, and directory issues are also
addressed by the model and semantics. The IPP message encoding and
transport are described in "Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Encoding
and Transport" (RFC 8010).
This document obsoletes RFCs 2911, 3381, and 3382.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
