  2. Agenda • UPnP v1 Printing and Imaging Use Cases • UPnP v1 Imaging Update – Where are we? • UPnP v1 Deficiencies • UPnP v2 Requirements • UPnP v2 Use Scenarios • Schedule for UPnP v2 Imaging • Next Steps

  3. Discovery and Installation Plug Printer/Scanner directly into any available network port WiFi (802.11b) New wireless devices enter network and have instant access to printer/scanner Imaging devices are discovered and can immediately be used (no drivers installation or setup ) • End User Benefits • No need to manually install or share printer on the network (no networking knowledge needed) • Automatically discover printer/scanner and no need to search for new imaging devices added to the network. • Ability to print and scan from an extended range of devices (Pocket PCs, Cell Phones, Web Tablets) UPnP Network

  5. Print Subcommittee Status - UPnP v1 • Printer Service Specifications Approved • Printer:1 Device • PrintBasic:1 Service • Minimal Data Format – XHTML-Print • IEEE-ISTO PWG Proposed Standard document • XHTML-Print • Required Embedded Image Format • JPEG (JFIF) – PrintBasic • Sample Implementers • HP, Oak Technologies, Canon, Microsoft • Printer Specifications published as Approved Standards – July 2002

  6. Scan Subcommittee Status – UPnP V1 • Scanner Service Definitions Complete • Scanner Device • Scanner Service • ExternalActivity Service • Feeder Service • Minimal Data Format – XHTML-Print • Required Image Format • JPEG (JFIF) Support • Sample Implementers: Canon, Ricoh, HP • Scanner Specifications published as Approved Standards – September 2002

  7. UPnP Version 1 Deficiencies • Data types • Missing Arrays and complex structures • Action Extensibility • Need to be able to specify whether arguments are optional/required or whether it should just use device settings (defaults) • Service Inheritance • Data inheritance may work here • Eventing • SOAP-based eventing instead of GENA so that secured eventing could be supported • Event filtering and grouping at the device level

  8. Imaging WC Architecture Requirements • Utilize standard web services to develop a standard service for: • Eventing • Discovery - Scalability of discovery for enterprise support • Security • Ability to extend Actions/Operations • Simple way to designate “Default” values • Outside of the SCPD • Run-time parsing of the SCPD is too much of a burden

  9. Use Scenarios (Printer) for v2 • Location-based Printing – “print to the near-by printer” (hotel, home, airport, etc.) • Microsoft desktop printing for the mobile client • Driver-centric model using a PDL • PDA, cell phone (e.g., XHTML-Print) printing • Job Ticket Model + XHTML-Print • “Client operates the same—regardless of the location” • Secure Printing

  10. Use Scenarios (Scan) for v2 • Scan • Scan to a service (e.g., storage, application) • Scan to a fax • Scan to e-mail • Scan to Print (copy function) • Scan with user intervention

  11. UPnP v2 Imaging Schedule • Complete Use cases • Prioritize • Identify Requirements • Complete Device Model (MFD vs. Print & Scan) • Provide Architecture input • Complete Detailed service interfaces • Design Complete – tbd • Complete Prototypes • PlugFests (minimum of 2) – tbd • Possible Hosts: Lexmark, Oak Tech., MS, HP • Incorporate feedback from Plugfests • Technical review, forum review, SC review • “Approved” specification - tbd

  12. Next Steps • Forward progress required on the UPnP v2 architecture
