ipptool is a versatile testing tool for IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) printers and servers. It sends IPP requests based on test files and validates responses, making it essential for printer conformance testing and debugging.
Test files define IPP operations and expected responses using a simple text format. The tool comes with standard test files for common operations like getting printer attributes, submitting jobs, and IPP Everywhere conformance testing.

Requires knowledge of IPP protocol for creating custom test files. Some tests may modify printer state or produce actual printed output. The printer URI format varies by printer model and manufacturer.

ipptool is part of CUPS, developed by Michael Sweet. It evolved from earlier IPP testing tools to become the reference implementation for IPP conformance testing, used by printer manufacturers to validate IPP Everywhere compliance.
