[1 – 19] The printer spooling daemon includes the IPP header file that we saw earlier,
because the daemon needs to communicate with the printer using this
protocol. TheHTTP_INFOandHTTP_SUCCESSmacros define the status of the
HTTP request (recall that IPP is built on top of HTTP). Section 10 in RFC 2616
defines the HTTP status codes.
[20 – 37] Thejobandworker_threadstructures areused by the spooling daemon to
keep track of print jobs and threads accepting print requests, respectively.
