[MFD] [IPP] Don't redefine Hardcopy Document

[MFD] [IPP] Don't redefine Hardcopy Document

Hi,

At the risk of adding confusion...

We speak of submitting Jobs with document data by reference (URI)
or by value (attached).

Why not just add "by scan (local scanner)".

What I don't like about the term "Hardcopy Document Object" is that
the word Scan or Scanner isn't there, but this is always the source.

Cheers,
- Ira

PS - I dislike putting titlecase prefixes on Document Object or Job
Object - it muddies readability.
