[ This is does not include my work on embedded thin thread. ]

 

- OP should evaluate our short-/mid-/long-term directions

 

- Short - OP should specify guidelines for printer driver test tools

    - Directory names and calling sequence (printer name)

    - Send data direct to printer via local channel only?

 

- Mid - OP should specify guidelines for printing path test tools

    - Cover various printing paths, renderers, and channels

    - Output to file?

 

- Long - OP should specify enhancements for discovery/installation

    - Driver installation URI extension for 1284 Device ID?

        - Ira - See previous PWG work on remote driver installation at:

 
ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/new_DRV/draft-ietf-ipp-install-04.pdf
<ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/new_DRV/draft-ietf-ipp-install-04.pdf> 

 

- PDF - OP should de-emphasize PDF as the standard print format?

   - Because PDF is not printing format but a document exchange format?

 

- Printing - OP should query the Linux distributions

   - Is printing a vector of differentiation between distro's?

 

- JTAPI - Is the current API a high overhead solutions

(i.e high degree of abstraction plus text-constant object/attribute 

(#defines) based)?

-        Can a numerical-constant (enums) solution be used; can defined data
structures 

versus object/attribute-descriptive encoding be used; should the data 

      structures be exposed to application versus API call to get 

      the attribute type, name and, finally, the value?

What do you mean by this topic above?
local channel would be the device itself?

Thanks,
Marcelo.

Local channel here means USB, parallel.  We would deal with networked (not
local) next version.
