| <h2 class="title"><a name="DESCRIPTION">Description</a></h2> |
| <b>ipptool</b> |
| sends IPP requests to the specified |
| <i>printer-uri</i> |
| and tests and/or displays the results. |
| Each named |
| <i>testfile</i> |
| defines one or more requests, including the expected response status, attributes, and values. |
| Output is either a plain text, formatted text, CSV, or XML report on the standard output, with a non-zero exit status indicating that one or more tests have failed. |
| The |
| <i>testfile</i> |
| format is described in |
| <b>ipptoolfile</b>(5). |
