[Desktop_printing] Publications about the Summit

[Claudia Alimpich]

Could you please add IBM in the list of printer vendors in your report? 
Even though I was representing FSG and covered the JTAPI and job ticketing 
in general, I was also representing IBM. IBM's primary interest is 
production and commercial level printing which is why I am very interested 
in defining the interfaces to the components in the print system so that 
the components can be used by advanced users and print submission 
applications and not just home or basic desktop users. 

I would say that one of the things that we agreed to during the OSDL 
Printing Summit (which was not just desktop printing, right?) was the 
necessity to define/agree on the use of interfaces or APIs (PAPI, JTAPI, 
SMAPI, etc) between the various components in the print system so that the 
part or pieces of the print system can be implemented to the interface and 
not depend on a specific implementation. This is basically the idea behind 
FSG's reference model.

Thanks,
Claudia Alimpich
IBM Printing Systems Division
