Hi ,
Can anybody explain the actual usage of the limit attribute which is optional in get-jobs request ? In what way will it be useful to the IPP client ?
the lines from IPP Model semantics reads as follows
"limit" (integer(1:MAX)):
The client OPTIONALLY supplies this attribute. The Printer object MUST support this
attribute. It is an integer value that indicates a limit to the number of Job objects returned. The
limit is a "stateless limit" in that if the value supplied by the client is ’N’, then only the first ’N’
jobs are returned in the Get-Jobs Response. There is no mechanism to allow for the next ’M’ jobs
after the first ’N’ jobs. If the client does not supply this attribute, the Printer object responds with
all applicable jobs.
