Command syntax:

     receive-job = %x02 printer-name LF

   The control file and data files mentioned in the following paragraphs
   are received via LPD sub-commands that follow this command. Their
   mapping to IPP commands and attributes is described later in this
   section.

   The mapper maps the 'Receive a printer job' command to either:

      - the Print-Job operation which includes a single data file or
      - the Create-Job operation followed by one Send-Document operation
        for each data file.

   If the IPP printer supports both Create-Job and Send-Document, and if
   a job consists of:

      - a single data file, the mapper SHOULD use the Print-Job
        operation, but MAY use the Create-Job and Send-Document
        operations.
      - more than one data file, the mapper SHALL use Create-Job
        followed by one Send-Document for each received LPD data file.

   If the IPP printer does not support both Create-Job and Send-
   Document, and if a job consists of:

      - a single data file, the mapper SHALL use the PrintJob
        operation.
      - more than one data file, the mapper SHALL submit each received
        LPD data file as a separate Print-Job operation (thereby
        converting a single LPD job into multiple IPP jobs).





 
RFC 2569         Mapping between LPD and IPP Protocols        April 1999


   If the mapper uses Create-Job and Send-Document, it MUST send the
   Create-Job operation before it sends any Send-Document operations
   whether the LPD control file, which supplies attributes for Create-
   Job, arrives before or after all LPD data files.

   NOTE: This specification does not specify how the mapper maps: the
   LPD Printer-name operand to the IPP "printer-uri" operation
   attribute.

   The following three sub-sections gives further details about the
   mapping from LPD receive-a-printer-job sub-commands.  Each of the
   following subsections appear as sub-sections of section 6 of RFC
   1179.

3.2.1 Abort job

   Sub-command syntax:

      abort-job = %x1 LF

   This sub-command of receive-a-printer-job is intended to abort any
   job transfer in process.

   If the mapper receives this sub-command, it SHALL cancel the job that
   it is in the process of transmitting.

   If the mapper is in the process of sending a Print-Job or Create-Job
   operation, it terminates the job either by closing the connection, or
   performing the Cancel-Job operation with the job-uri that it received
   from the Print-Job or Create-Job operation.

   NOTE: This sub-command is implied if at any time the connection
   between the LPD client and server is terminated before an entire
   print job has been transferred via an LPD Receive-a-printer-job
   request.

3.2.2 Receive control file

   Sub-command syntax:

   receive-control-file = %x2 number-of-bytes SP name-of-control-file LF
   number-of-bytes = 1*DIGIT
   name-of-control-file = "cfA" job-number client-host-name
                          ; e.g. "cfA123woden"
   job-number = 3DIGIT
   client-host-name = <a host name>






 
RFC 2569         Mapping between LPD and IPP Protocols        April 1999


   This sub-command is roughly equivalent to the IPP Create-Job
   operation.
