  70 <h2 class="title"><a name="DESCRIPTION">Description</a></h2>
  71 <b>ipptool</b>
  72 sends IPP requests to the specified
  73 <i>printer-uri</i>
  74 and tests and/or displays the results.
  75 Each named
  76 <i>testfile</i>
  77 defines one or more requests, including the expected response status, attributes, and values.
  78 Output is either a plain text, formatted text, CSV, or XML report on the standard output, with a non-zero exit status indicating that one or more tests have failed.
  79 The
  80 <i>testfile</i>
  81 format is described in
