(4) Status of Mobile Behavior Guidelines (Glen)
- Consensus - proposal is a good approach
- OK - Encoding Neutral - JTAPI-based attribute and value names
- can support IPP, JDF Job Ticket, PWG Job Ticket, etc.
- OK - Transport Neutral - neither IPP nor CUPS are required
- optional bindings for IPP, PWG MFD Print, etc., are allowed
- OK - Behavior Neutral - focus on UI semantics (button)
- instead of mechanism (touch screen, hard button, voice command)
- OK - Platform Neutral - focus on UI functionality (e.g., Print)
- instead of hardware type (laptop, tablet, PDA, cellphone)
- note that many tablets now mix hard and soft buttons
- OK - Addressability - focus on screen resolution (e.g., 320x200)
- instead of physical size (e.g., 7x10")
- some small screens are high fidelity
- OK - No extensions - focus on subset of JTAPI functionality
- to simplify implementation and improve the user experience
- To be determined
- Bounded functionality - subset of JTAPI
- e.g., leave out insert pages
- Ubuntu Natty and Oneiric - added Airprint support - Working as Airprint servers for PDF documents - DNS-SD updates/fixes were implemented - Standard IPP/CUPS protocol stack
