Understood the system requirements for Internet printing, and implemented printing protocols as defined in IETF IPP specification v1.1 in a platform (OS) independent fashion. Tata Elxsi's technological expertise helped our client to develop the product in minimum timeframe and by deploying optimal resources.

Client
Our client is a leading manufacturer of consumer and office products.


Salient Product Features

The project included the implementation of IPP client server architecture and applications to enable Internet printing and remote administration of network printers. The project was executed in two phases.

Phase 1 involved implementation of IPP specification v1.0 with mandatory operations like get printer attributes, print job, validate job, cancel job, get jobs of printer, get job attributes, etc.
Phase 2 involved upgrading the product according to IPP specification v1.1 and implementation of optional IPP operations with a host of remote administration features. It also included the development of a remote server administration tool with the help of which an IPP server could be configured/managed from anywhere on the Internet.


Salient Tata Elxsi Solution Features

Architecture design and development of IPP server and client as defined by IETF's IPP specifications with support for all mandatory and optional operations prescribed for Internet printing.
Building IPP server support for network printers with the help of LPR, LPQ and SNMP implementation.
IPP client integration with Windows NT spooler to allow seamless printing from Windows NT applications.
Development of remote server administration tool for managing and configuring the IPP server from anywhere on the Internet.
The IPP server was implemented in a platform independent fashion by introducing suitable abstractions for platform/OS dependencies. Usage of Windows NT registry for information storage (by the IPP server) was eliminated with the help of a Configuration Manager.


Key Customer Value
