1.1 Identification 
This document provides an overview of the Internet Printing Protocol
 ("IPP") version 1.1 as implemented in the Common UNIX Printing System
 ("CUPS") version 1.1.
1.2 System Overview 
CUPS provides a portable printing layer for UNIX®-based operating
 systems. It has been developed by 
http://www.easysw.comEasy
 Software Products
 to promote a standard printing solution for all
 UNIX vendors and users. CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley
 command-line interfaces.
CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP") as the basis for
 managing print jobs and queues. The Line Printer Daemon ("LPD") Server
 Message Block ("SMB"), and AppSocket (a.k.a. JetDirect) protocols are
 also supported with reduced functionality. CUPS adds network printer
 browsing and PostScript Printer Description ("PPD") based printing
 options to support real-world printing under UNIX.
CUPS includes an image file RIP that supports printing of image files
 to non-PostScript printers. A customized version of GNU Ghostscript
 7.05 for CUPS called ESP Ghostscript is available separately to support
 printing of PostScript files within the CUPS driver framework. Sample
 drivers for Dymo, EPSON, HP, and OKIDATA printers are included that use
 these filters.
Drivers for thousands of printers are provided with our ESP Print Pro
 software, available at:

3 Overview 
CUPS 1.1 implements IPP/1.1 and the operations and attributes defined
 in the "IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations", "IPP/1.1: Output-bin
 Attribute Extension", and "IPP/1.1: finishings 'fold',' trim', and
 'bale' attribute values extension" specifications.
CUPS also provides 13 new operations and many new attributes to
 support multiple IPP printers and printer classes on a single host.
3.1 IPP URIs 
CUPS supports both the "http" and "ipp" methods. The following
 resource names are used:
method://hostname:port/Can be used for all "get" operations.method://hostname:port/adminUsed for all administrative operations.method://hostname:port/classes/nameSpecifies a printer class.method://hostname:port/jobs/idSpecifies a job.method://hostname:port/printers/nameSpecifies a printer.So a typical printer URI would be
 "ipp://foo.bar.com/printers/LaserJet".
In addition, the CUPS server also supports normal browser access to
 "method://hostname:port/admin/", "method://hostname:port/classes/",
 "method://hostname:port/jobs/", and "method://hostname:port/printers/"
 to view and manage resources on the server dynamically.
3.2 CUPS IPP Operations 
CUPS provides 13 extension operations in addition to most of the
 standard IPP and registered extension operations:

5 Attributes 
CUPS provides many extension attributes to support multiple devices,
 PPD files, standard job filters, printers, and printer classes.
5.1 Device Attributes 
Device attributes are returned by the CUPS-Get-Devices operation and
 enumerate all of the available hardware devices and network protocols
 that are supported by the server.
5.1.1 device-class (type2 keyword) 
The device-class attribute specifies the class of device and can be
 one of the following:
"file" - a disk file."direct" - a parallel or fixed-rate serial data port, currently used
 for Centronics, IEEE-1284, and USB printer ports.
"serial" - a variable-rate serial port."network" - a network connection, typically via AppSocket, HTTP,
 IPP, LPD, or SMB/CIFS protocols.
5.1.2 device-info (text(127)) 
The device-info attribute specifies a human-readable string
 describing the device, e.g. "Parallel Port #1".
5.1.3 device-make-and-model (text(127)) 
The device-makr-and-model attribute specifies a device identification
 string provided by the printer connected to the device. If the device
 or printer does not support identification then this attribute contains
 the string "unknown".
5.1.4 device-uri (uri) 
The device-uri attribute specifies a unique identifier for the
 device. The actual format of the device-uri string depends on the value
 of the device-class attribute:
"file" - The device-uri will be of the form
 "file:/path/to/filename".
"direct" - The device-uri will be of the form
 "method:/dev/filename", where method may be "parallel" or "usb" in the
 current implementation.
"serial" - The device-uri will be of the form
 "serial:/dev/filename?baud=value+parity=value+flow=value". The baud
 value is the data rate in bits per second; the supported values depend
 on the underlying hardware. The parity value can be one of "none",
 "even", or "odd". The flow value can be one of "none", "soft" (XON/XOFF
 handshaking), "hard" or "rts/cts" (RTS/CTS handshaking), or "dtrdsr"
 (DTR/DSR handshaking).
The URI returned by CUPS-Get-Devices will contain the maximum baud
 rate supported by the device and the best type of flow control
 available ("soft" or "hard").
"network" - The device-uri will be of the form
 "method://[username:password@]hostname[:port]/[resource]", where method
 may be "http", "ipp", "lpd", "smb", or "socket" in the current
 implementation.
The URI returned by CUPS-Get-Devices will only contain the method
 name followed by two slashes ("method://"). It is up to the client
 application to add the appropriate host and other information when
 adding a new printer.
The URI returned by Get-Printer-Attributes and CUPS-Get-Printers has
 any username and password information stripped; the information is
 still stored and used by the server internally to perform any needed
 authentication.
5.2 Job Template Attributes 
5.2.1 blackplot (boolean)

The brightness attribute specifies the overall brightness of the
 printed output in percent. A brightness of 100 is normal, while 200 is
 twice as bright and 50 is half as bright. The default value is 100.

The columns attribute specifies the number of columns to generate
 when printing text files. The default value is 1.

The gamma attribute specifies the luminance correction for the
 output. A value of 1000 specifies no correction, while values of 2000
 and 500 will generate lighter and darker output, respectively. The
 default value is 1000.
Gamma is applied to the Red, Green, and Blue values (or luminance for
 grayscale output) using the function "f(x) = x
(1000/gamma)".
5.2.7 hue (integer(-180:180)) 
The hue attribute specifies a color hue rotation when printing image
 files. The default value is 0.
5.2.8 job-billing (text(MAX))

 not in the local time zone. If
 the specified time is less than the current time, the job is held until

 printed before and after a job. The reserved value of "none" disables
 banner printing. The default value is stored in the job-sheets-default
 attribute.
If only one value is supplied, the banner file is printed before the
 job. If two values are supplied, the first value is used as the
 starting banner file and the second as the ending banner file.
5.2.11 job-originating-host-name (name(MAX)) 
(CUPS 1.1.5 and higher)
The job-originating-host-name attribute specifies the host from which
 the job was queued. The value will be the hostname or IP address of the

 always resolved to the name
 "localhost".
This attribute is read-only.
5.2.12 lpi (type2 enum) 
The lpi attribute specifies the number of lines per inch when
 printing text files. Only the values 6 and 8 are currently supported.
 The default value is 6.

 100.
The ppi option can be used to override the natural resolution of the
 image, which controls the natural size.
