This is to announce the free availability 
of the second beta release of the e-print 
Test Suite at http://www.trcs.com.

The e-print Test Suite is an IPP client that 
facilitates the testing of printers that
implement the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). 

There are several sample scripts that can serve
as a basis for testing for the upcoming IPP
bake-off.  These sample scripts will be enhanced
and expanded by the time of the bake-off.

The e-print Test Suite is built
on the framework of the e-print Engine. 
The e-print Test Suite provides the
IPP server developer essential tools to 
aid in the development and testing
of IPP printers. 

The capabilities of the e-print Test Suite
include:

    o Uses an XML interface to drive the ePrint
        Test Suite.
    o Allows reproduction of tests by providing 
        a file interface to store tests.
    o Allows attributes to be specified that are 
        not part of the IPP standard.
    o Allows the output of one request to "feed" 
        the input of another request.
    o Provides the ability to specify "expected" 
        values from a request.
    o Allows the specification of valid or invalid 
        values to be sent to the IPP server.
    o Written entirely in Java.
    o Full tracing of requests and replies.
