Subject: IPP> PSX - Posted new draft of IPP PSX (23 Sept 2006)
Hi folks, Saturday (23 September 2006)
I've just posted a second draft of the PWG IPP Printer State Extensions
(PSX) specification on the PWG FTP server at:
ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/wd/wd-ippstate10-20060923.htm
ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/wd/wd-ippstate10-20060923.pdf
This draft is a major rewrite to capture the recent IPP WG concensus on
design alternatives:
(a) New values for the "printer-state-reasons" attribute for device
alerts already defined in the 'PrtAlertCodeTC' textual convention;
(b) New values for both the "printer-state-reasons" attribute and the
'PrtAlertCodeTC' textual convention for finishing subunit alerts;
(c) New attribute "printer-alert (1setOf octetString(MAX))" - to encode
all the machine-readable columnar objects from 'prtAlertTable';
(d) New attribute "printer-alert-description (1setOf text(MAX))" - to
encode the localized 'prtAlertDescription' columnar object.
For immediate review, comment on the IPP WG mailing list (ipp@pwg.org),
and discussion at next IPP WG Telecon on Thursday 28 September 11am EDT.
Cheers,
- Ira
