[IPP] IPP Deprecation Request for Activate-Printer and Deactivate-Printer Michael Sweet msweet at apple.com Tue May 5 13:20:13 UTC 2015 All, This is a formal request to deprecate the Activate-Printer and Deactivate-Printer operations. This request is made in conformance with the IPP Registry Policy at: http://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/general/process/ipp-registry-policy-20150302.txt The Activate-Printer operation is a compound operation that performs the Enable-Printer and Resume-Printer operations. The Deactivate-Printer operation is a compound operation that performs the Disable-Printer and Pause-Printer-After-Current-Job operations. Since there are no race conditions associated with the separate operations, the Activate-Printer and Deactivate-Printer operations are redundant and should be deprecated. The following is the registry template to deprecate the operations.
