And a follow-up - I did a search on copies-supported being 1setOf and eventually ended up in RFC 2911 where it is just "rangeOfInteger". Yet another thing to fix in the registry...

>>>> [gwp] Ok – but 1setOfrangeOfInteger(1:Max) means there is 1 set of range values and the minimum value is 1 and the maximum value is specified (i.e. an integer). So this is a long winded way to specify a single integer value.
>> No, that means that copies-supported can list 1 or more rangeOfInteger values, and those values cannot have a lower bound less than 1 or an upper bound greater than "MAX" (2^31-1).
>> I don't remember the rationale for having the 1setOf for copies-supported (we can search through the mailing list archives) but all of the printers I have worked with either do not support copies or provide a single rangeOfInteger value for the copies-supported attribute.

>> For rangeOfInteger, any numbers specify the range of allowed values for the "lower" and "upper" integers that are part of that type.
>> In this case the attribute is effectively telling you the limit on the number of pages in a document along with "I support this attribute".

>>>> [gwp] 1setofInteger, over the range of 0 to Max, make sense. But what is a “range of integer” stitching locations? The minimum value is 0; ok. For a sample value, say Max is 100; then the stitching locations are 0 to 100; 100 what? Or does 100 mean 100 evenly spaced locations?
>> If a printer reports rangeOfInteger then any value in that range is allowed. If it reports integer values then only those discrete values are supported.
