What I meant was that if a Printer receives a Create-Job operation with "ipp://foo.com/printers/Foo" as the value of the "printer-uri" attribute, then the Printer creates a "job-uri" attribute with an "ipp" scheme, e.g. "ipp://foo.com/printers/Foo/123". Likewise, if a Printer receives a Create-Job operation with "<a href="http://foo.com:631/printers/Foo" eudora="autourl">http://foo.com:631/printers/Foo</a>" as the value of the "printer-uri" attribute, then the Printer creates a "job-uri" attribute with an "http" scheme, e.g. "<a href="http://foo.com:631/printers/Foo/123" eudora="autourl">http://foo.com:631/printers/Foo/123</a>". > >2) The last sentence says "...any of the seven attributes above..."  Yet >there are only five attributes listed above.  I don't think there are >attributes missing so should that be "...any of the five attributes >above..."???? I guess I can't count. > >3) What does "as is" later in the same sentence mean? If you are referring to the user interface paragraph, I was trying to say that the software doesn't change a URL in any way.  If a user can see a URL, it will be the same as the one passed in one of the five attributes. That is, if the attribute value is "ipp://foo.com/printers/Foo", that is what the user sees, and if the value is "<a href="http://foo.com:631/printers/Foo" eudora="autourl">http://foo.com:631/printers/Foo</a>", that is what the user sees. > > > >********************************************** >* Don Wright                 don@lexmark.com * >* Product Manager, Strategic Alliances       * >* Lexmark International                      * >* 740 New Circle Rd                          * >* Lexington, Ky 40550                        * >* 606-232-4808 (phone) 606-232-6740 (fax)    * >********************************************** > </html>
