I've updated Carl's proposal based on the discussion at last Wednesday's IPP
telecon and turned it into a complete specification for registration. There
are 15 issues that are highlighted. It would be good to process these at
the IPP telecon, this Wednesday, 6/30/99.

Send any comments to the DL ahead of time. Here is the abstract:

This document specifies eight additional OPTIONAL administrative operations
for use with the Internet Printing Protocol/1.0 (IPP) [RFC2565, RFC2566] and
IPP/1.1 [ipp-mod, ipp-pro]. These operations are 4 Printer object
operations that operators/administrators may perform on a Printer object:
Set-Printer-Attributes
Enable-Printer
Disable-Printer
Shutdown-Printer
and 4 Job object operations that end-users may perform on their jobs and
operators/administrators may perform on any job:
Set-Job-Attributes
Reprocess-Job
Cancel-Current-Job (though the target is the Printer
object)
Space-Current-Job (though the target is the Printer object)

In addition, two operation attributes: "job-message-from-operator" and
"printer-message-from-operator" are included to set the corresponding Job
and Printer Description attributes.
Finally, a new 'client-error-attributes-not-settable' is defined for use
with the two Set operations.
