29 Abstract
30
31 This document specifies the requirements and uses cases for some
32 optional administrative operations for use with the Internet Printing
33 Protocol (IPP) version 1.0 and version 1.1. Some of these
34 administrative operations operate on the IPP Job and Printer objects.
35 The remaining operations operate on a new Device object that more
36 closely models a single output device.

60 RFC 3239 IPP: Req. for Job and Printer Admin Ops February 2002
61
62
63 1 Introduction
64
65 The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is an application level protocol
66 that can be used for distributed printing using Internet tools and
67 technologies. IPP version 1.1 ([RFC2911, RFC2910]) focuses on end
68 user functionality with a few administrative operations included (for
69 a description of the base IPP documents, see Appendix A). This
70 document defines the requirements and use cases for additional
71 optional end user, operator, and administrator operations used to
72 control Job objects, Printer objects (see [RFC2911]) and a new Device
73 object. The new Device object more closely models a single output
74 device and has no notion of a job, while the Printer object models a
75 print service which understands jobs and may represent one or more
76 output devices.
77
78 The scope of IPP is characterized in RFC 2567 [RFC2567] "Design Goals
79 for an Internet Printing Protocol". It is not the intent of this
80 document to revise or clarify this scope or conjecture as to the
81 degree of industry adoption or trends related to IPP within printing
82 systems. It is the intent of this document to extend the original
83 set of operations - in a similar fashion to the Set1 extensions which
84 referred to IPP/1.0 and were later incorporated into IPP/1.1.
85
86 2 Terminology
87
88 This section defines terminology used throughout this document and
89 the corresponding documents that define the Administrative operations
90 on Job, Printer, and Device objects.
91
92 This document uses terms such as "client", "Printer", "Job",
93 "attributes", "keywords", and "support". These terms have special
94 meaning and are defined in the model terminology [RFC2911] section
95 12.2.
96
97 In addition, the following capitalized terms are defined:
98
99 IPP Printer object (or Printer for short) - a software abstraction
100 defined by [RFC2911].
101
102 Printer Operation - an operation whose target is an IPP Printer
103 object and whose effect is on the Printer object.
104
105 Output Device - the physical imaging mechanism that an IPP Printer
106 controls. Note: while this term is capitalized in this
107 specification (but not in [RFC2911]), there is no formal object
108 called an Output Device.

115 \f
116 RFC 3239 IPP: Req. for Job and Printer Admin Ops February 2002
117
118
119 Device Operation - an operation whose target is an IPP Printer
120 object and whose defined effect is on an Output Device.
121
122 Output Device Fan-Out - a configuration in which an IPP Printer
123 controls more that one output-device.
124
125 Printer fan-out - a configuration in which an IPP Printer object
126 controls more than one Subordinate IPP Printer object.
127
128 Printer fan-in - a configuration in which an IPP Printer object is
129 controlled by more than one IPP Printer object.
130
131 Subordinate Printer - an IPP Printer object that is controlled by
132 another IPP Printer object. Such a Subordinate Printer may
133 have one or more Subordinate Printers.
134
135 Leaf Printer - a Subordinate Printer that has no Subordinate
136 Printers.
137
138 Non-Leaf Printer - an IPP Printer object that has one or more
139 Subordinate Printers.
140
141 Chained Printer - a Non-Leaf Printer that has exactly one
142 Subordinate Printer.
143
144 Job Creation operations - IPP operations that create a Job object:
145 Print-Job, Print-URI, and Create-Job.
146
147 3 Requirements and Use Cases
148
149 The Administrative operations for Job and Printer objects will be
150 defined in one document [ipp-ops-set2]. The Administrative
151 operations for Device objects will be defined in a separate document.
152 The requirements are presented here together to show the parallelism.
153
154 1. Have separate operations for affecting the IPP Printer
155 versus affecting the Output Device, so its clear what the
156 intent of each is, and implementers can implement one or the
157 other or both.
158
159 2. Support fan-out of Printer objects.
160
161 3. Support fan-out of Output Devices.
162
163 4. Support fan-in of Printer objects, as long as it doesn't
164 make the semantics more complicated when not supporting
165 fan-in.
166
167
168
169
170 Kugler, Lewis & Hastings Informational [Page 3]
171 \f
172 RFC 3239 IPP: Req. for Job and Printer Admin Ops February 2002
173
174
175 5. Support fan-in of output objects, as long as it doesn't make
176 the semantics more complicated when not supporting fan-in.
177
178 6. Instead of having operation attributes that alter the
179 behavior of the operation significantly, have separate
180 operations, so that it is simple and clear to a client which
181 semantics the Printer is supporting (by querying the
182 "operations-supported" attribute) and it is simple to
183 describe the capabilities of a Printer implementation in
184 written documentation (just list the optional operations
185 supported).
186
187 7. Need a Printer Operation to prevent a Printer object from
188 accepting new IPP jobs, but currently accepted jobs continue
189 unaffected to be scheduled and processed. Need a companion
190 one to restore the Printer object to accept new IPP jobs.
191
192 Usage: Operator is preparing to take the IPP Printer out of
193 service or to change the configuration of the IPP Printer.
194
195 Suggested name and operations: Disable-Printer and Enable-
196 Printer
197
198 8. Need a Device Operation to prevent an Output Device from
199 accepting any new jobs from any job submission protocol and
200 a companion one to restore the Output Device to accepting
201 any jobs.
202
203 Usage: Operator is preparing to take the Output Device out
204 of service.
205
206 Suggested name and operations: Disable-Device and Enable
207 Device
208
209 9. Need a Printer Operation to stop the processing after the
210 current IPP job completes and not start processing any
211 additional IPP jobs (either by scheduling the jobs or
212 sending them to the Output Device), but continue to accept
213 new IPP jobs. Need a companion operation to start
214 processing/sending IPP jobs again.
215
216 Usage: Operator wants to gracefully stop the IPP Printer at
217 the next job boundary. The Pause-Printer-After-Current-Job
218 operation is also invoked implicitly by the Deactivate-
219 Printer and the Shutdown-Printer Operations.
220
221 Suggested name and operations: Pause-Printer-After-
222 Current-Job, (IPP/1.1) Resume-Printer

228 RFC 3239 IPP: Req. for Job and Printer Admin Ops February 2002
229
230
231 10. Need a Device Operation to stop the processing the current
232 job "immediately", no matter what protocol. Its like the
233 Pause button on the Output Device. This operation is for
234 emergencies. The stop point depends on implementation, but
235 can be mid page, end of page, end of sheet, or after a few
236 sheets for Output Devices that can't stop that quickly. The
237 paper path isn't run out. Need a companion operation to
238 start processing the current any-protocol job without losing
239 any thing.
240
241 Usage: Operator sees something bad about to happen, such as
242 the paper is about to jam, or the toner is running out, or
243 the device is overheating or wants to add more paper.
244
245 Suggested name and operations: Pause-Device-Now, Resume-
246 Device
247
248 11. Need a Printer Operation to stop the processing of IPP jobs
249 after all of the currently accepted jobs have been
250 processed, but any newly accepted jobs go into the
251 'processing-held' state.
252
253 Usage: This allows an operator to reconfigure the Output
254 Device in order to let jobs that are held waiting for
255 resources, such as special media, get a chance. Then the
256 operator uses another operation after reconfiguring. He
257 repeats the two operations to restore the Output Device to
258 its normal media.
259
260 Suggested name and operations: Hold-New-Jobs, Release-
261 Held-New-Jobs
262
263 12. Need a Device Operation to stop processing the current any-
264 protocol job at a convenient point, such as after the
265 current copy (or end of job if last or only copy). Need a
266 companion operation to start processing the current any-
267 protocol job or next job without losing any thing.
268
269 Usage: The operator wants to empty the output bin that is
270 near full. The paper path is run out.
271
272 Suggested name and operations: Pause-Device-After-Current-
273 Copy, Resume-Device

285
286
287 13. Need a Device Operation that always pauses on a device-
288 defined boundary, no matter how many copies, in order to not
289 break up a job. Need a companion operation to start
290 processing the current any-protocol job or next job without
291 losing any thing.
292
293 Usage: The operator wants to empty the output bin that is
294 near full, but he doesn't want to break up a job in case it
295 has multiple copies. The paper path is run out.
296
297 Suggested name and operations: Pause-Device-After-Current-
298 Job, Resume-Device
299
300 14. Need a Printer Operation that combines Disable-Printer,
301 Pause-Printer-After-Current-Job, and rejects all other Job,
302 Printer, and Device Operations, except Job and Printer
303 queries, System Administrator Set-Printer-Attributes, and
304 the companion operation to resume activity. In other words,
305 this operation makes the Printer a read-only object in a
306 graceful manner for end-users and the operator.
307
308 Usage: The administrator wants to reconfigure the Printer
309 object using the Set-Printer-Attributes operation without
310 disturbing the current in process work, but wants to make
311 sure that the operator isn't also trying to change the
312 Printer object as part of running the Printer.
313
314 Suggested name and operation: Deactivate-Printer,
315 Activate-Printer
316
317 15. Need a Device Operation that combines Disable-Device,
318 Pause-Device-After-Current-Job, and rejects all other Device
319 Operations, except Job and Printer queries and the companion
320 operation to resume activity. In other words, this
321 operation makes the Output Device a read-only object in a
322 graceful manner.
323
324 Usage: The field service person wants to open up the device
325 without disturbing the current in process work, perhaps to
326 replace staples, or replace the toner cartridge.

341
342
343 16. Need a Printer Operation to recover from the IPP Printer
344 software that has gotten confused (run out of heap memory or
345 gotten into a state that it doesn't seem to be able to get
346 out of). This is a condition that shouldn't happen, but
347 does in real life. Any volatile information is saved if
348 possible before the software is re-initialized. No
349 companion operation is needed to undo this. We don't want
350 to go back to the "confused" state :-).
351
352 Usage: The IPP Printer software has gotten confused or
353 isn't responding properly.
354
355 Suggested name and operation: Restart-Printer
356
357 17. Need a Device Operation to recover from the Output Device
358 hardware and software that has gotten confused (gotten into
359 a state that it doesn't seem to be able to get out of, run
360 out of heap memory, etc.). This is a condition that
361 shouldn't happen, but does in real life. This is the same
362 and has the same options as the Printer MIB reset. No
363 companion operation is needed to undo this. We don't want
364 to go back to the "confused" state :-).
365
366 Usage: The Output Device has gotten confused or need
367 resetting to some initial conditions.
368
369 Suggested name and operation: Reset-Device
370
371 18. Need a Printer Operation to put the IPP Printer object out
372 of business with no way in the protocol to bring that
373 instantiation back to life (but see Startup-Printer which
374 brings up exactly one new instantiation to life with the
375 same URL). Any volatile information is saved if possible.
376
377 Usage: The Printer is being moved or the building's power
378 is being shut off.
379
380 Suggested name and operation: Shutdown-Printer
381
382 19. Need a Printer Operation to bring an IPP Printer to life
383 when there is an already running host.
384
385 Usage: After the host is started (by means outside the IPP
386 protocol), the operator is able to ask the host to bring up
387 any number of Printer objects (that the host has been
388 configured in some way) each with distinct URLs.
389

399 20. Need a Device Operation to power off the Output Device after
400 writing out any software state. It is assumed that other
401 operations have more gracefully prepared the Output Device
402 for this drastic and immediate. There is no companion
403 Device Operation to bring the power back on.
404
405 Usage: The Output Device is going to be moved, the power in
406 the building is going to be shutoff, the repair man has
407 arrived and needs to take the Output Device apart.
408
409 Suggested name and operation: Power-Off-Device
410
411 21. Need a Device Operation to startup a powered-off device.
412
413 Usage: After a Power-Off-Device, if the device can be
414 powered back up (possibly by an intervening host that
415 supports the Device Operation).

511 4 IANA Considerations
512
513 This document does not define anything to be registered. When a
514 document is produced that defines operations that meet the
515 requirements in this document, those operations will be registered
516 according to the procedures in [RFC2911] section 6.4.
517
518 5 Internationalization Considerations
519
520 This document has the same localization considerations as the
521 [RFC2911].
522
523 6 Security Considerations
524
525 This document defines the requirements for operations that are
526 intended to be used by an operator or system administrator. These
527 operations, when defined, would affect how the Printer behaves and
528 establish policy and/or operating behavior that ordinary users
529 shouldn't be able to perform. Printer implementations that support
530 such operations should authenticate users and authorized them as
531 being an operator or a system administrator for the system.
532 Otherwise, unprivileged users could affect the policy and behavior of
533 IPP Printers, thereby affecting other users. Similarly clients that
534 supports such operations should be prepared to provide the necessary
535 authentication information. See the security provisions in [RFC2911]
536 for authentication, such as TLS.

638 broad look at distributed printing functionality, and it enumerates
639 real-life scenarios that help to clarify the features that need to be
640 included in a printing protocol for the Internet. It identifies
641 requirements for three types of users: end users, operators, and
642 administrators. It calls out a subset of end user requirements that
643 are satisfied in IPP/1.0. A few optional operator operations have
644 been added to IPP/1.1.
645
646 The "Rationale for the Structure and Model and Protocol for the
647 Internet Printing Protocol" document describes IPP from a high level
648 view, defines a roadmap for the various documents that form the suite
649 of IPP specification documents, and gives background and rationale
650 for the IETF working group's major decisions.
651
652 The "Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Model and Semantics" document
653 describes a simplified model with abstract objects, their attributes,
654 and their operations that are independent of encoding and transport.
655 It introduces a Printer and a Job object. The Job object optionally
656 supports multiple documents per Job. It also addresses security,
657 internationalization, and directory issues.
658
659 The "Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Encoding and Transport" document
660 is a formal mapping of the abstract operations and attributes defined
661 in the model document onto HTTP/1.1 [RFC2616]. It defines the
662 encoding rules for a new Internet MIME media type called
663 "application/ipp". This document also defines the rules for
664 transporting over HTTP a message body whose Content-Type is
665 "application/ipp". This document defines the 'ippget' scheme for
666 identifying IPP printers and jobs.

679 The "Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Implementer's Guide" document
680 gives insight and advice to implementers of IPP clients and IPP
681 objects. It is intended to help them understand IPP/1.1 and some of
682 the considerations that may assist them in the design of their client
683 and/or IPP object implementations. For example, a typical order of
684 processing requests is given, including error checking. Motivation
685 for some of the specification decisions is also included.
686
687 The "Mapping between LPD and IPP Protocols" document gives some
688 advice to implementers of gateways between IPP and LPD (Line Printer
689 Daemon) implementations.
690
691 The "IPP Event Notifications and Subscriptions" document defines an
692 extension to IPP/1.0 [RFC2566, RFC2565] and IPP/1.1 [RFC2911,
693 RFC2910]. This extension allows a client to subscribe to printing
694 related Events and defines the semantics for delivering asynchronous
695
696 Event Notifications to the specified Notification Recipient via a
697 specified Delivery Method (i.e., protocols) defined in (separate)
698 Delivery Method documents.
