About the IPP Sample Code
The ippsample project provides sample, non-production-ready implementations of IPP Clients, Printers, and Proxies. It makes use of the CUPS Library v3 and PDFio library projects to provide low-level HTTP, IPP, and PDF support. The ippserver and ipp3dprinter code was also inspired by the original CUPS ippeveprinter source code. The project also includes the ipptransform3d transform program for 3D printing to G-code printers as well as a "lint" program (ippdoclint) for validating document data in automated test environments.
The server implements most IPP standards including IPP Everywhere™ and includes transform support for 2D and 3D printing. A beta snap is available for Linux systems.

Programs
The following programs are provided in addition to the ippfind, ipptool, and ipptransform programs included with the CUPS Library v3 project.
The ippdoclint program validates document data in a variety of formats, allowing for automated testing of IPP clients.
The ippproxy program implements a generic IPP Proxy interface that allows you to connect a local IPP, PCL, or G-code printer to an IPP Infrastructure Printer such as the ippserver program.
The ippserver program implements most IPP standards and is commonly used for prototyping and automated testing. It provides a generic IPP Printer interface that allows you to share printers locally or using the IPP Shared Infrastructure Extensions. Printers can be configured to use authentication and/or to provide transforms using the included or third-party programs. A scriptable web interface allows for a variety of automated testing opportunities.
The ipptransform3d program is a generic file conversion utility that is used primarily with ippserver to support slicing of STL and 3MF documents for 3D printers connected via USB.
