CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_

Reported by Leo McLaughlin/ Wollongong

Minutes

Two primary tasks were accomplished at the May IETF.

One, the specification for LPR will be modified to support cacheless
clients and servers by allowing the control file to be submitted before
the data file and by allowing graceful end of connection instead of a
field length to show end of file.  In addition, control file lines
beginning with 'A' and 'a' will be reserved for possible future use with
Palladium.

Two, that use of Palladium, the Project Athena printing protocol, was
seen as a good, long term, goal for printing in the Internet.  As part
of the Palladium 2.0 efforts currently under way, the Project Athena
implementation (likely to be the future reference implementation) will
be modified to support LPR clients.  A RFC describing the printing
protocol specific portions of Palladium is forthcoming.
