"The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is an application-level protocol for distributed printing using Internet tools and technologies. This document describes a simplified model consisting of abstract objects@ attributes@ and operations that is independent of encoding and transport. The model consists of several objects@ including Printers and Jobs. Jobs optionally support multiple Documents. IPP semantics allow End Users and Operators to query Printer capabilities; submit Print Jobs; inquire about the status of Print Jobs and Printers; and cancel@ hold@ and release Print Jobs. IPP semantics also allow Operators to pause and resume Jobs and Printers. Security@ internationalization@ and directory issues are also addressed by the model and semantics. The IPP message encoding and transport are described in ""Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Encoding and Transport"" (RFC 8010)."
