IPP Sample Implementations

This code provides sample implementations of IPP Clients, Printers, Proxies, and Systems. It is largely based upon the CUPS software, with substantial changes to the original ippproxy and ippserver sample code to make them more general-purpose and configurable.

ipp3dprinter

The ipp3dprinter program implements a single IPP 3D printer and can be configured to use a print command to do processing of document data.

ippdoclint

The ippdoclint program verifies and reports on document data. It is primarily used for testing IPP Clients with the ippeveprinter and ippserver programs.

ippeveprinter

The ippeveprinter program implements a single IPP Everywhere printer and can be configured to use a print command to do processing of document data. It is included with the IPP Everywhere™ Printer Self-Certification tools.

ippfind

The ippfind program implements mDNS+DNS-SD discovery of IPP printers and can be used to find and test specific printers. Among other things, it is used as part of the IPP Everywhere™ Printer Self-Certification tools.

ipptool

The ipptool program implements a generic IPP Client interface that allows a user to send different IPP requests and act based on the response from the Printer. Among other things, it is used as part of the IPP Everywhere™ Printer Self-Certification tools.

ippproxy

The ippproxy program implements a generic IPP Proxy interface that allows you to connect a local IPP or PCL printer to an IPP Infrastructure Printer such as the ippserver program.

ippserver

The ippserver program implements the IPP System Service and provides a generic IPP Printer interface that allows you to host shared printers using the IPP Shared Infrastructure Extensions as well as support local printing or document processing.

ipptransform

The ipptransform program is a generic file conversion utility that is used primarily with ippeveprinter and ippserver to support rasterization of JPEG and PDF documents for IPP Everywhere™ and HP PCL printers.

ipptransform3d

The ipptransform3d program is a generic 3D file conversion utility that is used primarily with ippserver to support 3MF and G-code printing to 3D printers.
