• Current Status - Editorial content complete - see discussions below
  ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/wd/wd-ippstate10-20061107.pdf
• Prototypes (Ira) - status unknown
• Implementation (Mike Sweet) - CUPS/1.3.0 (released on 13 August 2007) supports all IPP PSX attributes and values through all CUPS backends to actual printers (not just Printer MIB) - see Mike's subsequent note on IPP WG mailing list
• Proposal (Ira) - Add IPP PSX to IPP/2.0 spec - no objections
• Proposal (Mike) - Add IPP PSX as REQUIRED in *both* IPP/2.0 and IPP/2.1 - numerous objections and lively discussion
• Objection (Jerry) - IPP/2.0 should not require IPP PSX (because it adds new attributes)
• Suggestion (Mike) - IPP PSX attributes could be implemented but empty - numerous objections
• Proposal (Ira) - IPP PSX should be REQUIRED for IPP/2.1 (because it adds most value to Enterprise Printing and may not be as useful for IPP/2.2 Production Printing with dedicated operators co-located)
• Meeting Consensus (Jerry) - Discuss IPP PSX requirement levels for IPP/2.0 spec at IPP WG teleconferences and on mailing list
• Proposal (Ira) - Update IPP PSX working draft (7 November 2006) - start IPP WG last call in January - start PWG Last Call in February to span next PWG F2F (16-18 February 2009) - no objections
• ACTION
  Ira McDonald - Update IPP PSX spec - add Printer MIB and CIM Printer classes coherence/interworking rationale and current PWG boilerplate - Target January 2009

• Current Status (Shah) - Editorial content complete - see IPP PSX above and discussions below
  ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/ippv2-wd/wd-ipp20-20081118.pdf
• Prototypes (Ira) - Multiple prototypes (or shipping implementations) of IPP/2.0 (Workgroup Printing) and IPP/2.1 (Enterprise Printing)
• Prototypes (Ira) - Unknown status for IPP/2.2 (Production Printing)
• ACTION
  Paul Tykodi and Pete Zehler - Forward IPP/2.2 list of operations and attributes to Production Printing domain experts for detailed feedback and to determine if implementations already exist - Target February 2009
• Proposal (Shah) - Update IPP/2.0 spec to remove IPP/2.2 content and start IPP WG last call in January - start PWG Last Call in February to span next PWG F2F (16-18 February 2009) - no objections
• Proposal (Ira) - Hold IPP/2.2 content for completion of IPP Production Printing Set2 - no objections
• Proposal (Jerry) - Revise IPP/2.0 CS first edition in the future to include IPP/2.2 conformance level in second edition - no objections
• ACTION
  Ira McDonald and Mike Sweet - Update IPP/2.0 spec to remove IPP/2.2 and content (for now), add IPP PSX, add references to JDF/1.5 and JDF/IDP Conformance Profile, add JDF coherence/interworking rationale - Target February 2009 PWG Last Call
• Discussion (All) - Level of interest from printer vendors - Is IPP/2.0 viewed as a market advantage or a benefit to future sales?

• Current Status (Ira and Pete) - Incomplete (4 issues) working draft of IPP Production Printing Set2 (21 August 2002)
  ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/new_PPE/
  pwg-ipp-prod-print-set2-draft-v0_92-020821.pdf
• Discussion (All) - Important content for IPP/2.2 - higher fidelity gateways with JDF (for example)
• ACTION
  Pete Zehler and Ira McDonald - Complete working draft of IPP Production Printing Set2 spec - Target April 2009 PWG Last Call

• Required Document Formats (Mike and Paul) - Should we required at least one of a small set of document formats? - no support expressed by others - Glen Petrie expressed concerns about impact on embedded systems (for IPP/2.0 conformance level)
• IPP Implementors Guide (Paul) - Should we update IETF RFC 2639 (Informational) to mention IPP/2.0 and PWG IPP extensions? - Mike and Paul offered to help with such an effort

• Ira McDonald - Update IPP PSX spec - add Printer MIB and CIM Printer classes coherence/interworking rationale and current PWG boilerplate - Target January 2009
• Paul Tykodi and Pete Zehler - Forward IPP/2.2 list of operations and attributes to Production Printing domain experts for detailed feedback and to determine if implementations already exist - Target February 2009
