Solaris already has some sort of IPP support, and  the printers companies  such 
as  HP, LexMark, Epson, Xerox and others support IPP this would be a plus for 
Open Solaris and Solaris users, in making a System admin job a lot easier and 
raise client satisfaction and JDS would benefit in ease of client use!

But if Project Proposal: PRESTO - Automatic Printing ends up with a website  a 
few pages will be needed for Kernel and network trouble shooting tips , such as 
Client side support for communicating with IPP based print servers that go 
beyond the man pages!
