Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Encoding and Transport
Abstract
The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is an application-level protocol
for distributed printing using Internet tools and technologies. This
document defines the rules for encoding IPP operations, attributes,
and values into the Internet MIME media type called
"application/ipp". It also defines the rules for transporting a
message body whose Content-Type is "application/ipp" over HTTP and/or
HTTPS. The IPP data model and operation semantics are described in
"Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Model and Semantics" (RFC 8011).
This document obsoletes RFCs 2910 and 3382.
