IPPTOOL.txt - 2011-05-20
------------------------
INTRODUCTION
Starting with CUPS 1.5, CUPS now installs a user program called ipptool that
can be used to send arbitrary IPP requests to a CUPS server or IPP printer.
This tool started life as part of the CUPS automated test suite and has
grown to support complex conformance tests and a simple way to query
printer, job, and subscription attributes.
BASIC USAGE
The ipptool command requires a printer URI and one or more "test" files that
describe the operations, attributes to display, and expected status and
attribute values. Several standard files are included with CUPS, for example
to show a list of pending print jobs on a CUPS printer called "myprinter"
you'd run:
ipptool ipp://localhost/printers/myprinter get-jobs.test
which would produce something like this:
job-id job-state job-name job-originating-user-name
------ ------------ ------------ -------------------------
72 pending testfile.pdf msweet
73 pending testfile.ps msweet
74 pending-held testfile.jpg msweet
75 pending-held testfile.txt msweet
To get output suitable for import into a spreadsheet, use the "-c" (CSV)
option:
ipptool -c ipp://localhost/printers/myprinter get-jobs.test
which would produce something like this:
job-id,job-state,job-name,job-originating-user-name
72,pending,testfile.pdf,msweet
73,pending,testfile.ps,msweet
74,pending-held,testfile.jpg,msweet
75,pending-held,testfile.txt,msweet
CONFORMANCE TESTS
We provide basic IPP conformance tests for IPP/1.1, IPP/2.0, and IPP/2.1.
For a given printer URI, the following commands perform tests at each level:
ipptool -t printer-uri ipp-1.1.test
ipptool -t -V 2.0 printer-uri ipp-2.0.test
ipptool -t -V 2.1 printer-uri ipp-2.1.test
READING THE DOCUMENTATION
The command usage is described in the ipptest(1) man page, while the file
format is described in the ipptestfile(5) man page.
