CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Leo McLauglin/The Wollongong Group
MINUTES
Three primary tasks were discussed as objectives for the working group:
1. A specification for LPR will be published as an RFC and submitted
for inclusion in the standards track. There was a divergent set of
opinions as to what status we should suggest for LPR.
2. A common, full featured network printing protocol was seen as a
good, long term goal for the Internet. Paladium, the Project
Athena printing protocol, was suggested. Copies of the
specification will be made available electronically as soon as
possible. We are looking for comments on the Paladium protocol as
well as other suitable printing protocols to be presented in
Pittsburg.
3. If this long term network printing protocol proves to be unsuitable
for use in resource limited environments, an interim protocol
(possibly based on LPR) may be necessary. For example, requiring
an RPC mechanism was viewed as unacceptable for most terminal
server or PC DOS environments. Further information on this topic
is again expected to be presented in Pittsburg.
A number of other topics, including security issues and a single
'network' PostScript definition, were discussed and judged to be within
the purview of other working groups or committees. We will follow these
discussions to present our ideas and concerns.
Administrative Details:
The mailing list of this working group is print-wg@pluto.dss.com. We
will be meeting in Pittsburg. A proposed charter will soon be presented
for review.
