2.1.4 Relevant Standards

The Print Services system uses the following standards:

HTTP over TLS: Hypertext Transfer Protocol [RFC2818]. Used in the Print Services system as the transport protocol for IPP and the Web Point-and-Print Protocol [MS-WPRN].

Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) [RFC8010] [RFC8011]. Used in the Print Services system for printing from Windows and non-Windows clients, or in cases where network security requirements prescribe firewall settings that preclude use of the Print System Remote Protocol [MS-RPRN] and the Print System Asynchronous Remote Protocol [MS-PAR].

LDAP: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol [RFC4511]. Used by the print server role to publish shared printer information to the directory. Used by the print client role to discover available shared printers in the domain.

Line Printer Daemon Protocol [RFC1179]. Used in the Print Services system for printing from non-Windows clients, such as on UNIX-based systems.

RPC: Remote Procedure Call Protocol [RFC1831] [C706] [MS-RPCE]. Used as a transport for the Print System Remote Protocol using RPC over SMB, in the Print System Asynchronous Remote Protocol using RPC over TCP/IP, and in the Print System Asynchronous Notification Protocol [MS-PAN] using RPC over TCP/IP.
