CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 10175-3:02 (R2011)

This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC 10175-3:2000 (first edition, 2000-12-15). 1 Scope The Document Printing Application is one component of a coordinated set of facilities and standards needed to satisfy the printing requirements of the modern distributed office. Together, the capabilities provided can enable users to create and produce high-quality office documents in a consistent and unambiguous manner within a distributed open systems environment. The Document Printing Application Standard (ISO/IEC 10175) consists of three parts: Part 1: Abstract service definitions and procedures Part 2: Protocol specification Part 3: Management abstract service definition and procedures This part of ISO/IEC 10175 extends the facilities specified in ISO/IEC 10175-1 by adding the capability for administrators and operators to manage and control printers, print servers and all other print objects; in addition, this part specifies additional capabilities for a print client to control a print job. The text and specifications contained in this part of ISO/IEC 10175 are derived from IEEE 1387.4 (POSIX) - System Administration Part 4 - Printing Interfaces. In particular, this part of ISO/IEC 10175: - specifies additional administrative functions and services that may be provided by Document Printing Application servers; - specifies the Document Printing Application abstract service for the additional administrative functions using the principles established by the Abstract Service Definition Conventions (ISO/IEC 10021-3); - specifies the requirements for conformance with the Document Printing Application for these additional administrative functions. See clause 1 of ISO/IEC 10175-1 for a more extensive description of the Document Printing Application.
