As far as I know, it is the only effort of a flexible client library 
written in PHP, but there are also python and perl bindings around.

Note php::print:ipp is unmaintained for years, except for a few patches 
I received. There is almost no feedback and we no longer need it at work :)

As far as IPP1.1 is accepted, there is no known problem but server setup 
and some variables setup (eg: paths such as /admin, /jobs, ...).

One of the drawbacks of my library is due to the needed "tcp unblocking 
mode", as there were no way to check the real state of a tcp connexion 
while I wrote it (and I'm too lazy to check the php tcp handling), so 
there is a loop on the "empty" state /and/ a configurable latch.

that's explained on the library main site, mainpage (whole project and 
mainpages are hosted on savannah.nongnu.org and so on).

=> I strongly recommends to download the library via the cvs URI typed

Unfortunately, only basic and digest authentication has been done (see 
the http backend file), also it misses a way to "upgrade", so use https.

This has to be done as server setup.
