Should the request be rejected even though both "utf-8" and "us-ascii" charsets are supported by the server? or should the "job-name" value be converted to "us-ascii" and return "successful-ok-conflicting-attributes" (0x0002) as the status code?

My understanding: in this situation the Printer is required to convert
the job-name value from utf-8 charset to us-ascii. If it can't, it
shouldn't advertise us-ascii as a attributes-charset-supported.
One implementation strategy is to convert all incoming text and name
values to a Unicode internal representation. This is 16-bit and
virtually universal. Then convert to the specified operation
attributes-charset on output.
