Hi Michael,

I have read that specification, of which I wasn´t aware yet. It looks
very promising and might contribute to further harmonising
technologies in the field of printing.

Is CUPS supposed to act as the "IPP Infrastructure Printer" going
forward? I suspect that physical printers need to act as both the
proxy service and output device. The question is when will compatible
devices be available.

As for the other topic, I will look into that further next week.


Regards,

Stephan
