<p class="MsoNormal">Unless I'm mistaken, these sections in System Service are useful if the client is managing the firmware update process directly by fetching the firmware update and pushing that update to the printer as a resource. <o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">But if the Printer is capable of sending a firmware update query on its own to check availability and/or fetch and update itself, we don't seem to have any IPP attributes that can drive that. The "printer-firmware-update-version" and "printer-firmware-update-string-version"
are intended to fill that gap. Mike suggested that we might define a new operation to cause the printer to fetch and update itself, and I think that is something we ought to investigate or at least discuss. This would compliment the existing facilities in
System Service, and from a user experience and implementation perspective it would be easier for a Client to support this type of firmware update flow than the existing System Service supported process where it would need to download the firmware image / file
to itself and then submit it to the printer. I think the existing System Service flow is likely more desirable for larger / enterprise deployments where a fleet might be upgraded using a common firmware image.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The "printer-firmware-update-uri" would provide a link directly to a firmware update page either in the printer or the manufacturer's website. <o:p></o:p></p>
