The management of producing a printed document, in any computer
environment, is a complex subject.  Basically, the task can be divided
into two overlapping pieces, the management of printing and the
management of the printer.  Printing encompasses the entire process of
producing a printed document from generation of the file to be
printed, selection of a printer, choosing printing properties,
routing, queuing, resource management, scheduling, and final printing
including notifying the user.  Most of the printing process is outside
the scope of the model presented here; only the management of the
printer is covered.  This RFC is the product of the Printer MIB
Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and
status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
