Abstract

   This memo defines the "ipp" URL (Uniform Resource Locator) scheme.
   This memo updates IPP/1.1: Encoding and Transport (RFC 2910), by
   expanding and clarifying Section 5, "IPP URL Scheme", of RFC 2910.
   An "ipp" URL is used to specify the network location of a print
   service that supports the IPP Protocol (RFC 2910), or of a network
   resource (for example, a print job) managed by such a print service.
