124 <h2 class="title"><a name="ENVIRONMENT">Environment</a></h2>
125 <b>ippserver</b>
126 adds environment variables starting with "IPP_" for all IPP Job attributes in the print request.
127 For example, when executing a command for an IPP Job containing the "media" Job Template attribute, the "IPP_MEDIA" environment variable will be set to the value of that attribute.
128 <p>Enumerated values are converted to their keyword equivalents.
129 For example, a "print-quality" Job Template attribute with a enum value of 3 will become the "IPP_PRINT_QUALITY" environment variable with a value of "draft".
