1 Introduction

The Print System Remote Protocol is a synchronous Remote Procedure Call (RPC)-based protocol used by a print client to send print jobs to a print server, to direct their processing, to add or remove print queues, and to perform other print system management functions.

An enhanced replacement for this protocol is specified in [MS-PAR] The Print System Asynchronous Remote Protocol. It provides asynchronous forms of the synchronous operations supported by the Print System Remote Protocol and extends them with additional asynchronous operations. It also provides for higher-level authentication in RPC calls between client and server.

Sections 1.5, 1.8, 1.9, 2, and 3 of this specification are normative. All other sections and examples in this specification are informative.
