Abstract

   This document is one of a set of documents, which together describe
   all aspects of a new Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). IPP is an
   application level protocol that can be used for distributed printing
   using Internet tools and technologies. This document defines the
   rules for encoding IPP operations and IPP attributes into a new
   Internet mime media type called "application/ipp".  This document
   also defines the rules for transporting over Hypertext Transfer
   Protocol (HTTP) a message body whose Content-Type is
   "application/ipp". This document defines a new scheme named 'ipp' for
   identifying IPP printers and jobs.
