Hi Mike,
If we follow the idea to put the new value in JPS3 because it is a better
fit and we also reach a point where we believe that PWG Raster is stable but
JPS3 still needs some work to be completed, I believe that our "customers"
could make an informed decision as to whether they believed it would be in
their best interest to begin developing software that was compliant with the
draft PWG Raster specification knowing that changes were still possible but
not probable while we waited for JPS3 to be finished.
Best Regards,
/Paul

Ira,
I agree it isn't a great fit in PWG Raster, but if we put it in JPS3 then
JPS3 has to be completed before we can finish PWG Raster...

Hi Mike,
About putting "print-content-type" (or whatever name) into
PWG Raster rather than JPS3.
I suggest this is an architectural error - it's NOT just useful
for PWG Raster - it's useful for any raster or other opaque
document format.
It was the broader use case that we were concerned about
in the Open Printing Job Ticket API work.
Cheers,

Glen,
I was more thinking "where to put it in the header", but I've since decided
to put PrintQuality in one of the empty cupsInteger slots and put your
PrintContentType in the OutputType string field.
Ira,
As for which specification, since the first use is in the PWG Raster Format
spec, I'm thinking we should put it in the PWG Raster Format spec and then
include it in the list of required IPP Everywhere job template attributes...
Thoughts?

New Attribute
PrintContentType: Text, Text+Graphics, Graphics(vector), Photo
This is combined with "OutputType" to optimize output.
This was big discussion in JTAPI definition and it was determine that is
necessary to have both values.
We don't have this in the semantic model or IPP yet. Where do you propose I
put this?
I am not sure what you mean "where do you propose I put this"?
If you mean --
Within the PWG Raster it can occupy the first; no, better yet the last 4
bytes of the vender data space and shorten the vendor data space.
If you mean--
Where will the information come from in a SM or IPP "job ticket"; then, I
agree there is no source. But if an application choices to create a PWG
Raster file and knows the PrintContentType value; then the application can
fill in the field. The default value of zero ('0') can represent the value
of "unknown" or "not specified". So the enum could be
typedef enum {
NotSpecifed = 0,
TextOnly,
TextAndGraphics,
GraphicsOnly,
Photo
} ContentTypeEnum
