/usr/lib/lp/ipp/mod_ipp.so
The mod_ipp module implements RFCs 2910 and 2911 to provide an IPP handling service for the Apache HTTP server. When loaded on the Apache server, mod_ipp processes all HTTP requests with MIME types of application/ipp. The mod_ipp module also processes additional configuration directives to enable or disable portions of the protocol support.
The following is a list of configuration directives that apply to the Apache IPP Listening service:
ipp-conformance (automatic|1.0|1.1)
ipp-operation (operation) (enable|disable)
enable|disable The values true, yes, on, enable are considered to be synonymous and will enable support for the named operation. All other values will disable support for the named operation.
The following is a list of IPP handling service operations: print-job
This operation is a required IPP operation that allows client systems to submit a print job with a single document embedded in the data stream. This operation is primarily used from the IPP support Microsoft has provided for its Windows (9X/ME/NT/2K/XP).
This is an optional IPP operation that allows client systems to submit a print job with a reference (URL) for a single document. This operation is currently not supported by the mod_ipp Apache Module.
This is a required IPP operation that allows client systems to simulate the submission of a print job to verify that the server is capable of handling the job. This operation is supported by mod_ipp.
This is an optional IPP operation that allows client systems to submit a print job. The operation is used with the send-document and send-uri operations.
This is a required IPP operation that allows client systems to retrieve a list of print jobs from the print service.
This is a required IPP operation that allows client systems to retrieve attributes from the print service that describes the named printer object.
This an optional IPP operation that allows client systems to stop job processing on the named print queue.
This is an optional IPP operation that allows client systems to resume job processing on the named print queue.
This is an optional IPP operation that allows client systems to cancel all print jobs on the named print queue.
This is a required IPP operation that allows client systems to add documents to print jobs created with the create-job operation, but not yet submitted.
This is an optional IPP operation that allows a client system to add a document reference (URI) to a print job created with the create-job operation, but not yet submitted. This operation is currently not supported by the mod_ipp Apache Module.
This is a required IPP operation that allows client systems to cancel print jobs.
This is a required IPP operation that allows client systems to retrieve attributes that describe a print job from the print service.
This is an optional IPP operation that allows client systems to hold print jobs.
This is an optional IPP operation that allows client systems to release print jobs.
This is an optional IPP operation that allows client systems to restart print jobs.
This is a place holder for enabling or disabling support for all IPP operations implemented by the mod_ipp Apache module.
This is a place holder for enabling or disabling support for the required IPP operations implemented by the mod_ipp Apache module.
Example 1 Using a Configuration File to Start a Standalone Apache Server
The following configuration file can be used to start a standalone Apache server to respond to IPP request sent to port 631. See
/etc/lp/ipp/httpd-standalone-ipp.conf
Note that this will require a usable printer configured under the
lp print system. See lpadmin(1M) for details.
The CUPS printing system has its own IPP listener separate from
this Apache module. See print-service for instructions
on switching between the lp and cups systems.

Configuration file directives are processed in the order listed in the config file. The default behavior is to enable support for all operations implemented in the mod_ipp Apache module.
Since the Apache IPP listening service implements some capabilities that are more of operator features, it may not be desirable to enable all IPP operations without requiring user authentication on the Apache listening service.
The following is an example of a more reasonable configuration for Apache IPP servers without user authentication enabled:
ipp-operations all disabled ipp-operations required enabled
The printers and jobs available under this service can be accessed using URIs of the following form:
printer:
http://server[:port]/printers/{queue}
ipp://server[:port]/printers/{queue}
job:
http://server[:port]/printers/{queue}/{job-id}
ipp://server[:port]/printers/{queue}/{job-id}
631 is the default IPP port and implied when the URI scheme is ipp. However, some client implementations do not recognize the ipp URI scheme and require http://server:631/... instead. For example, Microsoft's IPP client implementation does not recognize the ipp scheme.

The httpd(8) man page and other Apache man pages are provided with the programming modules. To view the Apache manual pages with the man command, add (i.e.) /usr/apache2/2.2/man to the MANPATH environment variable. See man(1) for more information.
