680617 - (web-printing) WebPrint (or WebIPP)

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P5)

Description

[Yury Delendik (:yury)]

Provide the subset of the Internet Printing Protocol functions (or just adapter to sent IPP requests) to be able to sent printer jobs to:
 - localy registered IPP printers;
 - remote printer, provided by the web page.

It will make possible to prepare a compatible paged document (e.g. PNGs, JPGs, PDF, etc.) and print it as is.

Taking in account http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.pdf-js/browse_thread/thread/37c83dfdecffd192# cross-origin concerns:
 - if page requests registered printers, prompt with printer selection dialog (as File->Print does) or security warning (as geolocaltion does);
  - if page request HTTP remote printer do standard security and CORS checks (as XHR does).
