OK, my 2¢.
We need to decide if naming a NEW attribute that applies to more then just print with the print- prefix makes sense. A agree that renaming existing attributes does not make sense, and using the print- attributes in scan (and fax) rather then renaming them is logical. But if we are going to say attributes that are originally defined in Scan (or Fax) start with imaging- while if they first show up in IPP Everywhere (or some other doc like JPS3) we name them print- that doesn't seam quite right. My preference would be either:
1. Call everything that is not scan (or fax) specific print-, no matter where it is first defined. For scan or fax specific, call them scan- and fax-.
2. Start using the imaging- prefix everywhere that the term is NOT print specific.
We are going to expand the model which is heavily rooted in print to other services, I'd just like to have a consistent naming convention for how we move forward. 1 seems more confusing to me since it means keeping the print- name moving forward, and we'll have to maintain the table as to what is print specific and what isn't, but 1 also seems more true to the roots of IPP. I however personally vote for 2 since it clearly implies our broader scope of the protocol moving forward.
As for just dropping the print- prefix, while it works for color-mode, I think we need to take a harder look to make sure it makes sense everywhere. Note that I view this as simply a different way of naming option 2. If we pick option 2 we need to then pick the naming convention.
OK, so that was a bit more the 2¢ worth.

I agree with Ira. On the other hand, one other alternative for the name would just to drop the "print-" prefix and call it "color-mode".

Hi Mike,
My two cents.
No - let's keep the name "print-color-mode" to cohere with the
zillion other print-xxx or printer-xxx attributes.
In the new IPP Scanner and Fax objects lets just globally apply
most/many existing IPP Printer attributes in big table(s) with
a rationale for why some attributes are not applicable to the
other multifunction objects.
Unless almost all Printer attributes *are* applicable, which I begin
to suspect is the case (and have a short table of the exceptions).
I think we should reserve use of he "imaging-" prefix for only new
attributes defined first for Scanner, Fax, etc. objects for IPP
Everywhere Second Edition.
Cheers,
- Ira

All,
If we consider scanning and printing of forms, the "bi-level" (threshold) mode makes sense for both. Do we want to rename "print-color-mode" to "imaging-color-mode" in anticipation of using is for other MFD services in IPP?
