If the "server-error-service-unavailable" (0x0502) error code means
"server too busy to accept your request" I think the error code should say
"server-warning-service-busy" or something like. However, I understands
that
the error code is the HTTP error code and in such case may the
"server-error-service-unavailable" (0x0502) error code means that no
IPP server is present at all!
I can't see it's an error the IPP server is busy, it's a normal condition.
