-
- 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.
