I’ve built the ipp sample at https://github.com/istopwg/ippsample on my windows 10 laptop (Home edition) with Visual Studio 2017. I’m not using SSL. I want to produce PDF documents by printing to this from iOS devices and I want to be able, within ippserver, to identify the user who is printing.
This isn’t my area. I’ve little knowledge of ipp, http and c programming so am floundering a bit. I’m just aiming for a proof of concept to convince my employer this an area we should invest time in.
After much trawling of the web I came across guidance that led me to enable an iPAD to find ippserver and treat it as an AirPrint printer. I’ve included air=username,password in the TXT record because I thought this would result in the iPad user being prompted for these credentials when printing. This does have some effect. The iPad displays “Forget username and password” but it does not display a dialog to enter these. It still prints without authentication. I hope someone here can help me with this.
As an aside, the PDFs produced are corrupt. I haven’t spent any time yet trying to solve this but any hints would be appreciated.
