The Printer Working Group

We make printers, multi-function devices, and the applications and operating systems supporting them work together better.
The PWG has defined an IPP extension for 3D printing using standard file formats and an associated XML print job ticket format.
Print to any network or USB printer without using special software from the manufacturer.
Support multiple network protocols and job ticket formats using our abstract model.
PWG Standards define all of the common network protocols used by your printer.
