The Job is accepted (valid, supported media size) and when the Job starts processing the 'media-needed' reason is added to the "printer-state-reasons" attribute. The "job-state" can be 'processing' or 'processing-stopped'.

Validate-Job would not fail unless the "media" value was unsupported or conflicting with another attribute/value.

Validate-Job is optional and is meant as a way to allow Clients to detect conflicting attributes/values prior to a long-running submission.
