<PZ>It depends on how the client intends to specify the inserted sheet.
The standard way to specify inserted sheets, or desired media, is "Media".
The well known values for media are taken from PWG51001.1 and have well
defined sizes. There are also standard ways to define custom sizes.
"MediaCol" is used on higher end Printers. So you may use "MediaCol" to
specify media on high end machines to precisely define the intent for you
media selection. The "MediaCol" element contains "MediaSize" that is a
numerical width and height dimension pair.
Determining the available sizes for inserted sheets depends on how the
client intends to specify the "InsertSheet". You could use the element
"Printer.ProcessingSupported.DocumentProcessing.InsertSheetSupported.Media
Supported" that contains a sequence of available "Media". Alternatively
you could use the
"Printer.ProcessingSupported.DocumentProcessing.InsertSheetSupported.Media
ColSupported.MediaSizeSupported" that contains a sequence of available
"MediaSize"s.
As for what you would query to determine the available sizes that would
depend on the protocol mapping. PSI uses the elements above. IPP does
not distinguish "JobProcessing" From "DocumentProcessing" and uses "job-
template". You would use "GetPrinterAttributes" to request "insert-sheet-
supported.media-supported" or "insert-sheet-
supported.MediaColSupported.media-size-supported". A protocol like UPnP
does things quite differently and you would need to pull down the SCPD
file and parse the SST to find the "MediaSize" element that contains an
"allowedValueList" of "allowedValues". UPnP's "MediaSize" maps directly
to the Semantic Model's "MediaCol.MediaSizeName"</PZ>

<PZ>I generate them to help me check the Schema. Perhaps we can post some
to help with the Last Call of the Schema</PZ>
