-- The Print Job Delivery Channel Group
--
-- Print Job Delivery Channels are independent sources of print
-- data.  Here, print data is the term used for the information
-- that is used to construct printed pages and may have both data
-- and control aspects.  The output of a channel is in a form
-- suitable for input to one of the interpreters as a
-- stream.  A channel may be independently enabled (allowing
-- print data to flow) or disabled (stopping the flow of
-- print data).  A printer may have one or more channels.
--
-- The Print Job Delivery Channel table describes the
-- capabilities of the printer and not what is currently being
-- performed by the printer
--
-- Basically, the print job delivery channel abstraction
-- describes the final processing step of getting the print data
-- to an interpreter.  It might include some level of
-- decompression or decoding of print stream data.
-- channel.  All of these aspects are hidden in the channel
-- abstraction.
--
-- There are many kinds of print job delivery channels; some of
-- which are based on networks and others which are not.  For
-- example, a channel can be a serial (or parallel) connection;
-- it can be a service, such as the UNIX Line Printer Daemon
-- (LPD), offering services over a network connection; or
-- it could be a disk drive into which a floppy disk with
-- the print data is inserted.  Each print job delivery channel is
-- identified by the electronic path and/or service protocol
-- used to deliver print data to a print data interpreter.
--
-- Channel example                   Implementation
--
-- serial port channel            bi-directional data channel
Top   ToC   RFC3805 - Page 114
-- parallel port channel          often uni-directional channel
-- IEEE 1284 port channel         bi-directional channel
-- SCSI port channel              bi-directional
-- Apple PAP channel              may be based on LocalTalk,
--                                Ethernet or Tokentalk
-- LPD Server channel             TCP/IP based, port 515
-- Netware Remote Printer         SPX/IPX based channel
-- Netware Print Server           SPX/IPX based channel
--
-- It is easy to note that this is a mixed bag.  There are
-- some physical connections over which no (or very meager)
-- protocols are run (e.g., the serial or old parallel ports)
-- and there are services which often have elaborate
-- protocols that run over a number of protocol stacks.  In
-- the end, what is important is the delivery of print data
-- through the channel.
--
-- The print job delivery channel sub-units are represented by
-- the Print Job Delivery Channel Group in the Model.  It has a
-- current print job control language, which can be used to
-- specify which interpreter is to be used for the print data and
-- to query and change environment variables used by the
-- interpreters (and Management Applications).  There is also a
-- default interpreter that is to be used if an interpreter is
-- not explicitly specified using the Control Language.

-- The first seven items in the Print Job Delivery Channel Table
-- define the "channel" itself.  A channel typically depends on
-- other protocols and interfaces to provide the data that flows
-- through the channel.
--
-- Control of a print job delivery channel is largely limited to
-- enabling or disabling the entire channel itself.  It is likely
-- that more control of the process of accessing print data
-- will be needed over time.  Thus, the ChannelType will
-- allow type-specific data to be associated with each
-- channel (using ChannelType specific groups in a fashion
-- analogous to the media specific MIBs that are associated
-- with the IANAIfType in the Interfaces Table).  As a first
-- step in this direction, each channel will identify the
-- underlying Interface on which it is based.  This is the
-- eighth object in each row of the table.
