Abstract: A method is disclosed of encapsulating a device control protocol request for a device specific control function, the method including sending an initial request in an operation-id and a data field of an IPP request to a host device from a client device, the client device configured to support IPP client functionality; sending an initial response from the host device to the client device in a data field of the IPP response; sending a DCPI request for a requested action to the host device, wherein the DCPI request for the requested action is defined by device control protocol operation code and Type-Length-Value (TLV) fields contained in the data field of the IPP request; and sending a response to the client device, wherein the device control protocol response is contained in the data field of the IPP response and includes the status of the requested action and optional data.

Abstract: A method, a system, and a non-transitory computer readable medium are disclosed containing a computer program having computer readable code embodied to carry out a method of providing Uniform Resource Identifiers for Push Scan jobs pursuant to an Internet Printing Protocol (IPP), which includes hosting a database of IPP clients and destination Uniform Resource Identifiers (destination-uris) for each of the IPP clients, the database of destination-uris defining each of the destination-uris in which each of the IPP clients are authorized to send Push Scan jobs; receiving a request from an IPP client for at least one Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for a Push Scan job; checking the database to determine if the IPP client is authorized to send the Push Scan job to the at least one URI; and sending the destination-uris to the IPP client upon determination that the IPP client is authorized to send the Push Scan job.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for implementing a TCP/IP bypass over Universal Serial Bus (USB), including receiving USB data on an IPP-USB proxy through a kernel USB driver; sending the USB data from the IPP-USB proxy to an HTTP server as an IPP request encapsulated in an HTTP request; receiving the HTTP and IPP requests on the HTTP server and routing the IPP request directly to an IPP service module for processing of the IPP request; processing the IPP request on the IPP Service module and issuing an IPP response which is routed directly to the HTTP Server; transmitting the IPP response encapsulated in an HTTP response from the HTTP Server to the IPP-USB proxy; writing the received HTTP and IPP responses from the HTTP Server to the kernel USB driver; and transmitting the IPP response over an USB interface using the USB protocol to a client device.
