Tom,

Some comments on your "printer-state-comments-tnh.doc".

If you delete 'needs-attention' and move it to 'printer-state-reasons',
you should change the definition of role of 'printer-state-reasons'.
They were defined as the reasons in the state of 'needs-attention'.
It is noted in 5.6.1.2 printer-state-reasons on model-1.3.

What is the actual definitions and the difference in client's usage
of 'printer-state' and 'printer-state-reasons'?
Now I am confused on that point.

I would like to answer your question after the both definitions are
cleared.

Thanks,
