Consider to support IPP 3D Extensions defined by ISTO Printer Working Group

[KurtPfeifle]

You should consider to follow the 3D printing developments currently being worked on by the ISTO Printer Working Group (PWG) with the goal of adding 3D related extensions to the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP).

• Specs ("candidate standard"): http://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/candidates/cs-ipp3d10-20170210-5100.21.pdf
• Spec ("best practices") for 3D JobTicket: http://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/informational/bp-smpjt3d10-20170818.pdf
• Mailing List: http://www.pwg.org/mailman/listinfo/3d-printing

_{BTW, the ippsample project already has support for 3D spec/standad testing already included. Just enable the transform3d binary to be built (which requires additional dependencies, f.e. Cura).}

Thank you very much @KurtPfeifle - very interesting. Is this what Microsoft, too, uses in Windows to discover (some) 3D printers?

"Is this what Microsoft, too, uses in Windows to discover (some) 3D printers?"

No idea about Microsoft. I suspect they currently rather follow one of the Wi-Fi specs (maybe WiFi-Direct?) created by the Wi-Fi Alliance. This in turn however, "cloned" many ideas from various IPP specifications...
