Subject: [OS2NetWare] iPrint, anyone?

You've made many excellent points with this, Vaughn. Here is some info 
I've turned up:

   1. Absolutely right. There is a distinct difference between RFC 1179
      (LPD/LPR) and IPP (RFC 3239, 2566, 2910, et seq.).
   2. RFC 2569 describes "Mapping between LPD and IPP Protocols," which
      is certainly of some interest (though, admittedly, I have not read
      it in its entirety).
   3. iPrint allows coniguring a printer for LPD support as well as IPP
      (found this in iManager last night!).
   4. Under W2K, I couldn't get the printer set up as IPP, even though
      everything in NDPS looks good. While this isn't particularly
      germain to this discussion, I found it rather humorous that the
      platform specifically cited by Novell as IPP-ready (my words)
      couldn't find the blasted printer.
   5. I still like printing to queues!! (I feel much better after
      getting that out; thanks).
   6. In order to store the proper print driver on the server for OS/2,
      some hacking is going to be required. iManager 1.2 only lists the
      Wintendo platforms on its driver page (not very Linux-friendly,
      considering who owns SuSe); I haven't looked at iManager 2.02 as
      yet (the iManager 2.02 install on NetWare 6 is problematic, at
      best, so I need to look at it on a 6.5 server).
   7. On the Unix-OS/2 mailing list, I have a discussion going
      concerning CUPS and SAMBA. SAMBA should support IPP, and John
      Poltorak tells me that he did indeed build CUPS once but had no
      use for it. CUPS does indeed support IPP.

Thanks for the discussion. This has been an interesting foray for me.
