&gt; Hello Everyone,<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; I am looking for guidance on the best approach for handling larger ras=
ters. Specifically, what is the current recommended method for raster compr=
ession?<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; There is a &quot;compression-supported&quot; IPP attribute that allows=
 the client to apply compression to the IPP payload. However, for many prin=
ters this attribute contains only &quot;none&quot;.<br>
<br>
Any AirPrint printer should support the &quot;compression/-supported&quot; =
attributes with the &#39;gzip&#39; or &#39;deflate&#39; values to apply LZ7=
7 compression with the corresponding gzip or deflate headers.=C2=A0 For ref=
erence, of the 14 printers in my office all but one printer (an entry-level=
 inkjet) supports compression...<br>
<br>
&gt; I cannot find any reference to HTTP-level compression. Is it mentioned=
 in any IPP document? <br>
<br>
IPP doesn&#39;t talk about HTTP&#39;s Content-Encoding header and I am not =
aware of any IPP Clients or Printers that use it for IPP requests/responses=
, so I doubt you would be able to successfully use that generally.<br>
