This code provides sample implementations of IPP Clients, Printers, Proxies, and
Systems. It is largely based upon the CUPS software, with substantial
changes to the original ippproxy and ippserver sample code to make them more
general-purpose and configurable.
Note: This code is provided for educational purposes only. It is not intended as a production solution of any kind, hasn't gone through any formal security testing or analysis, and might eat your pet...
From the Github sources, clone the repository with the --recurse-submodules
option or use the git submodule commands:
git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:istopwg/ippsample.git
git clone [email protected]:istopwg/ippsample.git
git submodule init
git submodule update
When updating an already-cloned repository:
git pull
git submodule update
The IPP sample code uses a configure script on POSIX platforms to take care of any platform differences:
./configure OPTIONS
make
The following options are supported:
--enable-debug: Enable debugging and debug logging.--disable-shared: Disable shared libraries.--enable-maintainer: Enable warnings as errors.--enable-sanitizer: Enable address sanitizer.--enable-static: Enable static libraries.--prefix=PATH: Configure the installation directory, default is/usr/local.
On macOS, the "xcode" directory contains an Xcode workspace that can be used to build the code. Similarly, on Windows the "vcnet" directory contains a Visual Studio solution that can be used to build the code.
The "test" target runs all of the unit tests and a full-up "system" test of the various programs:
make test
The IPP sample code includes per-specification ipptool test files under the "examples" directory.
The ipp3dprinter program implements a single IPP 3D printer and can be
configured to use a print command to do processing of document data.
The ippdoclint program verifies and reports on document data. It is primarily
used for testing IPP Clients with the ippeveprinter and ippserver programs.
The ippproxy program implements a generic IPP Proxy interface that allows you
to connect a local IPP or PCL printer to an IPP Infrastructure Printer such as
the ippserver program.
The ippserver program implements the IPP System Service and provides a generic
IPP Printer interface that allows you to host shared printers using the IPP
Shared Infrastructure Extensions as well as support local printing or document
processing.
The ipptransform program is a generic file conversion utility that is used
primarily with ippeveprinter and ippserver to support rasterization of JPEG,
PNG, and PDF documents for IPP Everywhere™ and HP PCL printers.
The ipptransform3d program is a generic 3D file conversion utility that is
used primarily with ippserver to support 3MF and G-code printing to 3D
printers.
