We explicitly removed accounting because "accounting" implies a level of
reliability that the working group was not willing to sign up for. We also
agreed that we do not want to include functionality such as forcing printing to
stop of the accounting application is not accessable.
I therefore disagree with your proposed addition of Scenario #8.

Subject: IPP> NOT - Requirements - still needs an accounting application scenar
io
The notes from the IPP WG meeting in Copenhagen changed the 7th Scenario
from "audit and accounting" to "usage statistics". That is ok, provided
that we add a new Scenario that does include an accounting application using
the notification mechanism for push type of accounting, where the IPP
Printer pushes the accounting data to the accounting application. Here a
high Quality of Service is desirable for those sites that want to do
reliable accounting.
Here is the original Scenario 7 (which was agreed to be changed to "usage
statistics application):
7. I am an accounting or audit application. I subscribe independently from a
job submission so that my subscription outlasts any particular job. My
subscription may persists across power cycles. I subscribe with the
following attributes:
- Notification Recipient - me
- Notification Type - immediate
- Notification Events - job completion
- Notification Attributes - impression completed, sheets completed, time
submitted, time started, time completed, job owner, job size in octets, etc.
I suggest adding a Scenario 8:
8. I am an accounting application. I subscribe independently from a job
submission so that my subscription outlasts any particular job. My
subscription may persists across power cycles. I subscribe with the
following attributes:
- Notification Recipient - me
- Notification Type - immediate
- Notification Events - job completion
- Notification Attributes - time submitted, time started, time completed,
job owner, job size in octets, job-k-octets-processed,
job-impressions-completed, job-media-sheets-completed, etc.
Comments?
