Hi Smith,
We've never made "pdl-override-supported" have 'guaranteed' as REQUIRED
(even in IPP/2.1 or IPP/2.2 levels), because it's binary.
If you claim that your Printer supports 'guaranteed' then you have to be
able to
*successfully* intercept and override everything in your interpreters
(vanishingly
unlikely in PDF, for example).
I agree with Mike that I've never seen a printer in the wild that actually
supported
'guaranteed'.
I also agree that should make 'attempted' a REQUIRED value and 'guaranteed'
a RECOMMENDED value (explaining in the Implementors Guide that there are
practical limitations w/ third-party interpreters to perfect override).
Cheers,
- Ira
