 INTERNET-DRAFT   IPP: Job and Printer Admin. Operations   July 15, 2004





1 Introduction

   The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is an application level protocol
   that can be used for distributed printing using Internet tools and
   technologies.  IPP version 1.1 ([RFC2911, RFC2910]) focuses on end
   user functionality with a few administrative operations included.
   This document defines additional OPTIONAL end user, operator, and
   administrator operations used to control Jobs and Printers.  In
   addition, this document extends the semantic model of the Printer
   object by allowing them to be configured into trees and/or inverted
   trees that represent Printer object Fan-Out and Printer object Fan-
   In, respectively.  The special case of a tree with only a single
   Subordinate node represents Chained Printers.  This document is a
   registration proposal for an extension to IPP/1.0 and IPP/1.1
   following the registration procedures in those documents.

   The requirements and use cases for this document are defined in
   [RFC3239].


2 Terminology

   This section defines terminology used throughout this document.


2.1 Conformance Terminology

   Capitalized terms, such as MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHOULD, SHOULD
   NOT, MAY, NEED NOT, and OPTIONAL, have special meaning relating to
   conformance as defined in RFC 2119 [RFC2119] and [RFC2911] section
   12.1.  If an implementation supports the extension defined in this
   document, then these terms apply; otherwise, they do not.  These
   terms define conformance to this document only; they do not affect
   conformance to other documents, unless explicitly stated otherwise.


2.2 Other terminology

   This document uses terms such as "client", "Printer", "Job",
   "attributes", "keywords", "operation" and "support".  These terms
   have special meaning and are defined in the model terminology
   [RFC2911] section 12.2.

   In addition, the following capitalized terms are defined:

 INTERNET-DRAFT   IPP: Job and Printer Admin. Operations   July 15, 2004


   IPP Printer object (or Printer for short) - a software abstraction
      defined by [RFC2911].
   Printer Operation - an operation whose target is an IPP Printer
      object and whose effect is on the Printer object.
   Output Device - the physical imaging mechanism that an IPP Printer
      controls.  Note: while this term is capitalized in this
      specification (but not in [RFC2911]), there is no formal object
      called an Output Device defined in this document (or [RFC2911]).
   Output Device Fan-Out - a configuration in which an IPP Printer
      controls more that one Output Device.
   Printer Fan-Out - a configuration in which an IPP Printer object
      controls more than one Subordinate IPP Printer object.
   Printer Fan-In - a configuration in which an IPP Printer object is
      controlled by more than one IPP Printer object.
   Subordinate Printer - an IPP Printer object that is controlled by
      another IPP Printer object.  Such a Subordinate Printer MAY have
      zero or more Subordinate Printers.
   Leaf Printer - an IPP Printer object that has no Subordinate
      Printers.
   Non-Leaf Printer - an IPP Printer object that has one or more
      Subordinate Printers.  A Non-Leaf Printer is also called a Parent
      Printer.
   Chained Printer - a Non-Leaf Printer that has exactly one Subordinate
      Printer.
   Job Creation operations - IPP operations that create a Job object:
      Print-Job, Print-URI, and Create-Job.

3 Definition of the Printer Operations

   All Printer Operations are directed at Printer objects.  A client
   MUST always supply the "printer-uri" operation attribute in order to
   identify the correct target of the operation.  These descriptions
   assume all of the common semantics of IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics
   document [RFC2911] section 3.1.

                                 effect of a previous Hold-New-Jobs
                                 operation and condition the Printer
                                 to no longer hold new jobs.
    Deactivate-         0x27    Puts the Printer into a read-only
    Printer                      deactivated state.

                                 initializes the software
    Shutdown-           0x2A    Shuts down the target Printer so that
    Printer                      it cannot be restarted or queried
    Startup-Printer     0x2B    Starts up the instance of the Printer
                                 object


   All of the operations in this document are OPTIONAL for an IPP object
   to support.  Unless the specification of an OPTIONAL operation
   requires support of another OPTIONAL operation, conforming
   implementations may support any combination of these operations.
   Many of the operations come in pairs and so both are REQUIRED if
   either one is implemented.

 INTERNET-DRAFT   IPP: Job and Printer Admin. Operations   July 15, 2004


3.1 The Disable and Enable Printer Operations

   This section defines the OPTIONAL Disable-Printer and Enable-Printer
   operations that stop and start the IPP Printer object from accepting
   new IPP jobs.  If either of these operations are supported, both MUST
   be supported.

   These operations allow the operator to control whether or not the
   Printer will accept new Job Creation (Print-Job, Print-URI, and
   Create-Job) operations.  These operations have no other effect on the
   Printer, so that the Printer continues to accept all other operations
   and continues to schedule and process jobs normally.  In other words,
   these operation control the "input of new jobs" to the IPP Printer
   while the Pause and Resume operations (see section 3.2) independently
   control the "output of new jobs" from the IPP Printer to the Output
   Device.


3.1.1 Disable-Printer Operation

   This OPTIONAL operation allows a client to stop the Printer object
   from accepting new jobs, i.e., cause the Printer to reject subsequent
   Job Creation operations and return the 'server-error-not-accepting-
   jobs' status code.  The Printer still accepts all other operations,
   including Validate-Job, Send-Document and Send-URI operations.  Thus
   a Disable-Printer operation allows a client to continue submitting
   multiple documents of a multiple document job if the Create-Job
   operation had already been accepted.  All previously created or
   submitted Jobs and currently processing Jobs continue unaffected.

   The IPP Printer MUST accept the request in any state.  The Printer
   sets the value of its "printer-is-accepting-jobs" READ-ONLY Printer
   Description attribute to 'false' (see [RFC2911] section 4.4.20), no
   matter what the previous value was.  This operation has no immediate
   or direct effect on the Printer's "printer-state" and "printer-state-
   reasons" attributes.

   Access Rights: The authenticated user (see [RFC2911] section 8.3)
   performing this operation must be an operator or administrator of the
   Printer object (see [RFC2911] Sections 1 and 8.5).

   The Disable-Printer Request and Disable-Printer Response have the
   same attribute groups and attributes as the Pause-Printer operation
   (see [RFC2911] sections 3.2.7.1 and 3.2.7.2), including the new
   "printer-message-from-operator" operation attribute (see section 6).

 INTERNET-DRAFT   IPP: Job and Printer Admin. Operations   July 15, 2004


3.1.2 Enable-Printer Operation

   This OPTIONAL operation allows a client to start the Printer object
   accepting jobs, i.e., cause the Printer to accept subsequent Job
   Creation operations.  The Printer still accepts all other operations.
   All previously submitted Jobs and currently processing Jobs continue
   unaffected.

   The IPP Printer MUST accept the request in any state.  The Printer
   sets the value of its "printer-is-accepting-jobs" READ-ONLY Printer
   Description attribute to 'true' (see [RFC2911] section 4.4.20), no
   matter what the previous value was.  This operation has no immediate
   or direction effect on the Printer's "printer-state" and "printer-
   state-reasons" attributes.

   Access Rights: The authenticated user (see [RFC2911] section 8.3)
   performing this operation must be an operator or administrator of the
   Printer object (see [RFC2911] Sections 1 and 8.5).

   The Enable-Printer Request and Enable-Printer Response have the same
   attribute groups and attributes as the Pause-Printer operation (see
   [RFC2911] sections 3.2.8.1 and 3.2.8.2), including the new "printer-
   message-from-operator" operation attribute (see section 6).


3.2 The Pause and Resume Printer Operations

   This section leaves the OPTIONAL IPP/1.1 Pause-Printer (see [RFC2911]
   sections 3.2.7) to be ambiguous as to whether or not it stops the
   Printer immediately or after the current job and defines the OPTIONAL
   Pause-Printer-After-Current-Job operation to be after the current
   job.  These operations affect the scheduling of IPP jobs.  If either
   of these Pause Printer operations are supported, then the Resume-
   Printer operation MUST be supported.

   These operations allow the operator to control whether or not the
   Printer will send new IPP jobs to the associated Output Device(s)
   that the IPP Printer object represents.  These operations have no
   other effect on the Printer, so that the Printer continues to accept
   all operations.  In other words, these operation control the "output
   of new jobs" to the Output Device(s) while the Disable and Enable
   Printer Operations (see section 3.1) independently control the "input
   of new jobs" to the IPP Printer.

                                 new IPP Jobs to the Output Device(s)
                                 either immediately or after the
                                 current job completes, depending on
                                 implementation, as defined in
                                 [RFC2911].
      Pause-Printer-After-       Stops the IPP Printer from sending
      Current-Job                new IPP Jobs to the Output Device(s)
                                 after the current jobs finish
      Resume-Printer             Starts the IPP Printer sending IPP
                                 Jobs to the Output Device again.

3.2.1 Pause-Printer-After-Current-Job operation

   This OPTIONAL operation allows a client to stop the Printer object
   from starting to send IPP jobs to any of its Output Devices or
   Subordinate Printers.  If the IPP Printer is in the middle of sending
   an IPP job to an Output Device or Subordinate Printer, the IPP
   Printer MUST complete sending that Job.  However, after receiving
   this operation, the IPP Printer MUST NOT start to send any additional
   IPP jobs to any of its Output Devices or Subordinate Printers.  In
   addition, after having received this operation, the IPP Printer MUST
   NOT start processing any more jobs, so additional jobs MUST NOT enter
   the 'processing' state.

   If the IPP Printer is not sending an IPP Job to the Output Device or
   Subordinate Printer (whether or not the Output Device or Subordinate
   Printer is busy processing any jobs), the IPP Printer object
   transitions immediately to the 'stopped' state by setting its
   "printer-state" attribute to 'stopped', removing the 'moving-to-
   paused' value, if present, from its "printer-state-reasons"
   attribute, and adding the 'paused' value to its "printer-state-
   reasons" attribute.

   If the implementation will take appreciable time to complete sending
   an IPP job that it has started sending to an Output Device or
   Subordinate Printer, the IPP Printer adds the 'moving-to-paused'
   value to the Printer object's "printer-state-reasons" attribute (see
   section [RFC2911] 4.4.12).  When the IPP Printer has completed
   sending IPP jobs that it was in the process of sending, the Printer
   object transitions to the 'stopped' state by setting its "printer-
   state" attribute to 'stopped', removing the 'moving-to-paused' value,
   if present, from its "printer-state-reasons" attribute, and adding
   the 'paused' value to its "printer-state-reasons" attribute.

 INTERNET-DRAFT   IPP: Job and Printer Admin. Operations   July 15, 2004


   This operation MUST NOT affect the acceptance of Job Creation
   requests (see Disable-Printer section 3.1.1).

   For any jobs that are 'pending' or 'pending-held', the 'printer-
   stopped' value of the jobs' "job-state-reasons" attribute also
   applies.  However, the IPP Printer NEED NOT update those jobs' "job-
   state-reasons" attributes and only need return the 'printer-stopped'
   value when those jobs are queried using the Get-Job-Attributes or
   Get-Jobs operations (so-called "lazy evaluation").

   The IPP Printer MUST accept the request in any state and transition
   the Printer to the indicated new "printer-state" and MUST add the
   indicated value to "printer-state-reasons" attribute before returning
   as follows:

   The Pause-Printer-After-Current-Job Request and Pause-Printer-After-
   Current-Job Response have the same attribute groups and attributes as
   the Pause-Printer operation (see [RFC2911] sections 3.2.7.1 and
   3.2.7.2), including the new "printer-message-from-operator" operation
   attribute (see section 6).


3.3 Hold and Release New Jobs operations

   This section defines operations to condition the Printer to hold any
   new jobs and to release them.


3.3.1 Hold-New-Jobs operation

   This OPTIONAL operation allows a client to condition the Printer to
   complete the current 'pending' and  'processing' IPP Jobs but not
   start processing any subsequently created IPP Jobs.  If the IPP
   Printer is in the middle of sending an IPP job to an Output Device or
   Subordinate Printer, the IPP Printer MUST complete sending that Job.
   Furthermore, the IPP Printer MUST send all of the current 'pending'
   IPP Jobs to the Output Device(s) or Subordinate IPP Printer
   object(s).  Any subsequently received Job Creation operations will
   cause the IPP Printer to put the Job into the 'pending-held' state
   with the 'job-held-on-create' value being added to the job's "job-
   state-reasons" attribute.  Thus all newly accepted jobs will be
   automatically held by the Printer.

   When the Printer completes all of the 'pending' and 'processing'
   jobs, it enters the 'idle' state as usual.  An operator that is
   monitoring Printer state changes will know when the Printer has
   completed all current jobs because the Printer enters the 'idle'
   state.

   This operation MUST NOT affect the acceptance of Job Creation
   requests (see Disable-Printer section 3.1.1), except to put the Jobs
   into the 'pending-held' state, instead of the 'pending' or
   'processing' state.

   The IPP Printer MUST accept the request in any state, MUST NOT
   transition the Printer to any other "printer-state", and MUST add the
   'hold-new-jobs' value to the Printer's "printer-state-reasons"
   attribute (whether the value was present or not).

   Access Rights: The authenticated user (see [RFC2911] section 8.3)
   performing this operation must be an operator or administrator of the
   Printer object (see [RFC2911] Sections 1 and 8.5).

 INTERNET-DRAFT   IPP: Job and Printer Admin. Operations   July 15, 2004


   The Hold-New-Jobs Request and Hold-New-Jobs Response have the same
   attribute groups and attributes as the Pause-Printer operation (see
   [RFC2911] sections 3.2.7.1 and 3.2.7.2), including the new "printer-
   message-from-operator" operation attribute (see section 6).


3.3.2 Release-Held-New-Jobs operation

   This OPTIONAL operation allows a client to undo the effect of a
   previous Hold-New-Jobs operation.  In particular, the Printer
   releases all of the jobs that it had held as a consequence of a Hold-
   New-Jobs operations, i.e., while the 'hold-new-jobs' value was
   present in the Printer's "printer-state-reasons" attribute.  In
   addition, the Printer MUST accept this request in any state, MUST NOT
   transition the Printer to any other "printer-state", and MUST remove
   the 'hold-new-jobs' value from its "printer-state-reasons" attribute
   (whether the value was present or not) so that the Printer no longer
   holds newly created jobs.

   Access Rights: The authenticated user (see [RFC2911] section 8.3)
   performing this operation must be an operator or administrator of the
   Printer object (see [RFC2911] Sections 1 and 8.5).

   The Release-Held-New-Jobs Request and Release-Held-New-Jobs Response
   have the same attribute groups and attributes as the Pause-Printer
   operation (see [RFC2911] sections 3.2.7.1 and 3.2.7.2), including the
   new "printer-message-from-operator" operation attribute (see section
   6).


3.4 Deactivate and Activate Printer Operations

   This section defines the OPTIONAL Deactivate-Printer and Activate-
   Printer operations that stop and start the IPP Printer object from
   accepting all requests except queries and performing work.  If either
   of these operations are supported, both MUST be supported.

   These operations allow the operator to put the Printer into a dormant
   read-only condition and to take it out of such a condition.  These
   operations are a combination of the Deactivate and Pause operations,
   plus preventing the acceptance of any other requests, except queries.


3.4.1 Deactivate-Printer operation

   This OPTIONAL operation allows a client to stop the Printer object
   from starting to send IPP jobs to any of its Output Devices or
   Subordinate Printers (Pause-Printer-After-Current-Job) and stop the

 INTERNET-DRAFT   IPP: Job and Printer Admin. Operations   July 15, 2004


   Printer object from accepting any, but query requests.  The Printer
   performs a Disable-Printer and a Pause-Printer-After-Current-Job
   operation immediately, including use of all of the "printer-state-
   reasons" if these two operations cannot be completed immediately.  In
   addition, the Printer MUST immediately reject all requests, except
   Activate-Printer, queries (Get-Printer-Attributes, Get-Job-
   Attributes, Get-Jobs, etc.), Send-Document, and Send-URI (so that
   partial job submission can be completed - see section 3.1.1) and
   return the 'server-error-service-unavailable' status code.

   The IPP Printer MUST accept the request in any state.  Immediately,
   the Printer MUST set the 'deactivated' value in its "printer-state-
   reasons" attribute.  Note: neither the Disable-Printer nor the Pause-
   Printer-After-Current-Job set the 'deactivated' value.

   Access Rights: The authenticated user (see [RFC2911] section 8.3)
   performing this operation must be an operator or administrator of the
   Printer object (see [RFC2911] Sections 1 and 8.5).

   The Deactivate-Printer Request and Deactivate-Printer Response have
   the same attribute groups and attributes as the Pause-Printer
   operation (see [RFC2911] sections 3.2.7.1 and 3.2.7.2), including the
   new "printer-message-from-operator" operation attribute (see section
   6).


3.4.2 Activate-Printer operation

   This OPTIONAL operation allows a client to undo the effects of the
   Deactivate-Printer, i.e., allow the Printer object to start sending
   IPP jobs to any of its Output Devices or Subordinate Printers (Pause-
   Printer-After-Current-Job) and start the Printer object from
   accepting any requests.  The Printer performs an Enable-Printer and a
   Resume-Printer operation immediately.  In addition, the Printer MUST
   immediately start accepting all requests.

   The IPP Printer MUST accept the request in any state.  Immediately,
   the Printer MUST immediately remove the 'deactivated' value from its
   "printer-state-reasons" attribute (whether present or not).

   Access Rights: The authenticated user (see [RFC2911] section 8.3)
   performing this operation must be an operator or administrator of the
   Printer object (see [RFC2911] Sections 1 and 8.5).

   The Activate-Printer Request and Activate-Printer Response have the
   same attribute groups and attributes as the Pause-Printer operation
   (see [RFC2911] sections 3.2.7.1 and 3.2.7.2), including the new
   "printer-message-from-operator" operation attribute (see section 6).

3.5 Restart-Printer, Shutdown-Printer, and Startup-Printer operations

   This section defines the OPTIONAL Restart-Printer, Shutdown-Printer,
   and Startup-Printer operations that initialize, shutdown, and startup
   the Printer object, respectively.  Each of these operations is
   OPTIONAL and any combination MAY be supported.


3.5.1 Restart-Printer operation

   This OPTIONAL operation allows a client to restart a Printer object
   whose operation is in need of initialization because of incorrect or
   erratic behavior, i.e., perform the effect of a software re-boot.
   The implementation MUST attempt to save any information about Jobs
   and the Printer object before re-initializing.  However, this
   operation MAY have drastic consequences on the running system, so the
   client SHOULD first try the Deactivate-Printer operation to minimize
   the effect on the current state of the system.  The effects of
   previous Disable-Printer, Pause Printer, and Deactivate-Printer
   operations are lost.

   The IPP Printer MUST accept the request in any state.  The Printer
   object MUST initialize its Printer's "printer-state" to 'idle',
   remove the state reasons from its "printer-state-reasons" attribute,
   and its "printer-is-accepting-jobs" attribute to 'true'.

   Access Rights: The authenticated user (see [RFC2911] section 8.3)
   performing this operation must be an operator or administrator of the
   Printer object (see [RFC2911] Sections 1 and 8.5).

   The Restart-Printer Request and Restart-Printer Response have the
   same attribute groups and attributes as the Pause-Printer operation
   (see [RFC2911] sections 3.2.8.1 and 3.2.8.2), including the new
   "printer-message-from-operator" operation attribute (see section 6).


3.5.2 Shutdown-Printer Operation

   This OPTIONAL operation allows a client to shutdown a Printer, i.e.,
   stop processing jobs without losing any jobs and make the Printer
   object no longer available for any operations using the IPP protocol.
   There is no way to bring the instance of the Printer object back to
   being used, except for the Startup-Printer (see section 3.5.3) which
   starts up a new instance of the Printer object for hosted
   implementations.  The purpose of Shutdown-Printer is to shutdown the
   Printer for an extended period, not to reset the device(s) or modify
   a Printer attribute.  See Restart-Printer (section 3.5.1) and
   Startup-Printer (section 3.5.3) for the way to initialize the

 INTERNET-DRAFT   IPP: Job and Printer Admin. Operations   July 15, 2004


   software.  See the Disable-Printer operation (section 3.1) for a way
   for the client to stop the Printer from accepting Job Creation
   requests without stopping processing or shutting down.

   The Printer MUST add the 'shutdown' value (see [RFC2911] section
   4.4.11) immediately to its "printer-state-reasons" Printer
   Description attribute and performs a Deactivate-Printer operation
   (see section 3.4.1) which performs a Disable-Printer and Pause-
   Printer-After-Current-Job operation).

   Note:  In order to shutdown the Printer after all the currently
   submitted jobs have completed, the operator issues a Disable-Printer
   operation (see section 3.1.1) and then waits until all the jobs have
   completed and the Printer goes into the 'idle' state before issuing
   the Shutdown-Printer operation.

   The Printer object MUST accept this operation in any state and
   transition the Printer object through the "printer-states" and
   "printer-state-reasons" defined for the Pause-Printer-After-Current-
   Job operation until the activity is completed and the Printer object
   disappears.

   Access Rights: The authenticated user (see [RFC2911] section 8.3)
   performing this operation must be an operator or administrator of the
   Printer object (see [RFC2911] Sections 1 and 8.5).

   The Shutdown-Printer Request and Shutdown-Printer Response have the
   same attribute groups and attributes as the Pause-Printer operation
   (see [RFC2911] sections 3.2.7.1 and 3.2.7.2), including the new
   "printer-message-from-operator" operation attribute (see section 6).


3.5.3 Startup-Printer operation

   This OPTIONAL operation allows a client to startup an instance of a
   Printer object, provided that there isn't one already instantiated.
   The purpose of Startup-Printer is to allow a hosted implementation of
   the IPP Printer object (i.e., a Server that implements an IPP Printer
   on behalf of a networked or local Output Device) to be started after
   the host is available (by means outside this document).  See Restart-
   Printer (section 3.5.1) for the way to initialize the software or
   reset the Output Device(s) when the IPP Printer object has already
   been instantiated.

   The host MUST accept this operation only when the Printer object has
   not been instantiated.  If the Printer object already exists, the
   host must return the 'client-error-not-possible' status code.

 INTERNET-DRAFT   IPP: Job and Printer Admin. Operations   July 15, 2004


   The result of this operation MUST be with the Printer object's
   "printer-state" set to 'idle', the state reasons removed from its
   "printer-state-reasons" attribute, and its "printer-is-accepting-
   jobs" attribute set to 'false'.  Then the operator can reconfigure
   the Printer before performing an Enable-Printer operation.  However,
   when a Printer is first powered up, it is RECOMMENDED that its
   "printer-is-accepting-jobs" attribute be set to 'true' in order to
   achieve easy "out of the box" operation.

   Access Rights: The authenticated user (see [RFC2911] section 8.3)
   performing this operation must be an operator or administrator of the
   Printer object (see [RFC2911] Sections 1 and 8.5).

   The Shutdown-Printer Request and Shutdown-Printer Response have the
   same attribute groups and attributes as the Pause-Printer operation
   (see [RFC2911] sections 3.2.7.1 and 3.2.7.2), including the new
   "printer-message-from-operator" operation attribute (see section 6).


4 Definition of the Job Operations

   All Job operations are directed at Job objects.  A client MUST always
   supply some means of identifying the Job object in order to identify
   the correct target of the operation.  That job identification MAY
   either be a single Job URI or a combination of a Printer URI with a
   Job ID.  The IPP object implementation MUST support both forms of
   identification for every job.

   The Job Operations defined in this document are summarized in Table
   4:

                                scheduling factors being equal.



4.1 Reprocess-Job Operation

   This OPTIONAL operation is a create job operation that allows a
   client to re-process a copy of a job that had been retained in the
   queue after processing completed, was canceled, or was aborted (see
   [RFC2911] section 4.3.7.2).  This operation is the same as the
   Restart-Job operation (see [RFC2911] section 3.3.7), except that the
   Printer creates a new job that is a copy of the target job and the
   target job is unchanged.  The new job is assigned new values to the
   "job-uri" and "job-id" attributes and the new job's Job Description
   attributes that accumulate job progress, such as "job-impressions-
   completed", "job-media-sheets-completed", and "job-k-octets-
   processed", are initialized to 0 as with any create job operation.
   The target job moves to the Job History after a suitable period,
   independent of whether one or more Reprocess-Job operations have been
   performed on it.

   If the Set-Job-Attributes operation is supported, then the "job-hold-
   until" operation attribute MUST be supported with at least the
   'indefinite' value, so that a client can modify the new job before it
   is scheduled for processing using the Set-Job-Attributes operation.
   After modifying the job, the client can release the job for
   processing, by using the Release-Job operation specifying the newly
   assigned "job-uri" or "job-id" for the new job.

 INTERNET-DRAFT   IPP: Job and Printer Admin. Operations   July 15, 2004


4.2 Cancel-Current-Job Operation

   This OPTIONAL operation allows a client to cancel the current job on
   the target Printer or the specified job if it is the current job on
   the Printer.  See [RFC2911] section 3.3.3 for the semantics of
   canceling a job.  Since a Job might already be marking by the time a
   Cancel-Current-Job is received, some media sheet pages might be
   printed before the job is actually terminated.

   If the client does not supply a "job-id" operation attribute, the
   Printer MUST accept the request and cancel the current job if there
   is a current job in the 'processing' or 'processing-stopped' state;
   otherwise, it MUST reject the request and return the 'client-error-
   not-possible' status code.  If more than one job is in the
   'processing' or 'processing-stopped' states, the one that is marking
   is canceled and the others are unaffected.

   Warning:  On a shared printer, there is a race condition.  Between
   the time that a user issues this operation and its acceptance, the
   current job might change to a different job.  If the user or operator
   is authenticated to cancel the new job, the wrong job is canceled.
   To prevent this race from canceling the wrong job, the client MAY
   supply the "job-id" operation attribute which is checked against the
   current job's job-id.  If the job identified by the "job-id"
   attribute is not the current job on the Printer, i.e., is not in the
   'processing' or 'processing-stopped' states, the Printer MUST reject
   this operation and return the 'client-error-not-possible' status
   code.  Otherwise, the Printer cancels the specified job.

   Access Rights: The authenticated user (see [RFC2911] section 8.3)
   performing this operation must either be the job owner (as determined
   in the Job Creation operation) or an operator or administrator of the
   Printer object (see [RFC2911] Sections 1 and 8.5).

   The Cancel-Current-Job Request and Cancel-Current-Job Response have
   the same attribute groups and attributes as the Resume-Printer
   operation (see [RFC2911] section 3.2.8), including the new "job-
   message-from-operator" operation attribute (see section 6), with the
   addition of the following Group 1 Operation attributes in the
   request:

      "job-id" (integer(1:MAX)):
         The client OPTIONALLY supplies this Operation attribute in
         order to verify that the identified job is still the current
         job on the target Printer object.  The IPP object MUST supports
         this operation attribute, if it supports this operation.

4.3 Suspend and Resume Job operations

   This section defines the Suspend-Current-Job and Resume-Job
   operations.  These operations allow an operator or user to suspend a
   job while it is processing and allow other jobs to be processed and
   the resume the suspended job at a later point in time without losing
   any of the output.

   If either of these operations is supported, they both MUST be
   supported.

   The Hold-Job and Release-Job operations ([RFC2911] section 3.3.5) are
   for holding and releasing held jobs, not suspending and resuming
   suspended jobs.


4.3.1 Suspend-Current-Job operation

   This OPTIONAL operation allows a client to stop the current job on
   the target Printer or the specified job if it is the current job on
   the Printer, and allow other jobs to be processed instead.  The
   Printer moves the current job or the target job to the 'processing-
   stopped' state and sets the 'job-suspended' value (see section 9.1)
   in the job's "job-state-reasons" attribute and processes other jobs.

   If the client does not supply a "job-id" operation attribute, the
   Printer MUST accept the request and suspend the current job if there
   is a current job in the 'processing' or 'processing-stopped' state;
   otherwise, it MUST reject the request and return the 'client-error-
   not-possible' status code.  If more than one job is in the
   'processing' or 'processing-stopped' states, all of them are
   suspended.

   Warning:  On a shared printer, there is a race condition.  Between
   the time that a user issues this operation and its acceptance, the
   current job might change to a different job.  If the user or operator
   is authenticated to suspend the new job, the wrong job is suspended.
   To prevent this race from pausing the wrong job, the client MAY
   supply the "job-id" operation attribute which is checked against the
   current job's job-id.  If the job identified by the "job-id"
   attribute is not the current job on the Printer, i.e., is not in the
   'processing' or 'processing-stopped' states, the Printer MUST reject
   this operation and return the 'client-error-not-possible' status
   code.  Otherwise, the Printer suspends the specified job and
   processed other jobs.

   The Printer MUST reject a Resume-Job request (and return the 'client-
   error-not-possible') for a job that has been suspended , i.e., for a

   job in the 'processing-stopped' state, with the 'job-suspended' value
   in its "job-state-reasons" attribute.

   Access Rights: The authenticated user (see [RFC2911] section 8.3)
   performing this operation must either be the job owner (as determined
   in the Job Creation operation) or an operator or administrator of the
   Printer object (see [RFC2911] Sections 1 and 8.5).

   The Suspend-Current-Job Request and Suspend-Current-Job Response have
   the same attribute groups and attributes as the Pause-Printer
   operation (see [RFC2911] section 3.2.8 ), including the new "job-
   message-from-operator" operation attribute (see section 6), with the
   addition of the following Group 1 Operation attributes in the
   request:

      "job-id" (integer(1:MAX)):
         The client OPTIONALLY supplies this Operation attribute in
         order to verify that the identified job is still the current
         job on the target Printer object.  The IPP object MUST supports
         this operation attribute, if it supports this operation.


4.3.2 Resume-Job operation

   This OPTIONAL operation allows a client to resume the target job at
   the point where it was suspended.  The Printer moves the target job
   to the 'pending' state and removes the 'job-suspended' value from the
   job's "job-state-reasons" attribute.

   If the target job is not in the 'processing-stopped' state with the
   'job-suspended' value in the job's "job-state-reasons" attribute, the
   Printer MUST reject the request and return the 'client-error-not-
   possible' status code, since the job was not suspended.

   Access Rights: The authenticated user (see [RFC2911] section 8.3)
   performing this operation must either be the job owner (as determined
   in the Job Creation operation) or an operator or administrator of the
   Printer object (see [RFC2911] Sections 1 and 8.5).

   The Resume-Job Request and Resume-Job Response have the same
   attribute groups and attributes as the Release-Job operation (see
   [RFC2911] section 3.3.6), including the new "job-message-from-
   operator" operation attribute (see section 6).

4.4 Job Scheduling Operations

   This section defines jobs that allow an operator to control the
   scheduling of jobs.


4.4.1 Promote-Job operation

   This OPTIONAL operation allows a client to make the pending target
   job be processed next after the current job completes.  This
   operation is specially useful in a production printing environment
   where the operator is involved in job scheduling.

   If the target job is in the 'pending' state, this operation does not
   change the job's state, but causes the job to be processed after the
   current job(s) complete.  If the target job is not in the 'pending'
   state, the Printer MUST reject the request and return the 'client-
   error-not-possible' status code.

   If the Printer implements the "job-priority" Job Template attribute
   (see [RFC2911] section 4.2.1), the Printer sets the job's "job-
   priority" to the highest value supported (so that the job will print
   before any of the other pending jobs).  The Printer returns the
   target job immediately after the current job(s) in a Get-Jobs
   response (see [RFC2911] section 3.2.6) for the 'not-completed' jobs.

   When the current job completes, is canceled, suspended (see section
   4.3.1), or aborted, the target of this operation is processed next.

   If a client issues this request (again) before the target of the
   operation of the original request started processing, the target of
   this new request is processed before the previous job that was to be
   processed next.

   IPP is specified not to require queues for job scheduling, since
   there are other implementation techniques for scheduling multiple
   jobs, such as re-evaluating a criteria function for each job on a
   scheduling cycle.  However, if an implementation does implement
   queues for jobs, then the Promote-Job puts the specified job at the
   front of the queue.  A subsequent Promote-Job before the first job
   starts processing puts that specified job at the front of the queue,
   so that it is "in front" of the previously promoted job.

   Access Rights: The authenticated user (see [RFC2911] section 8.3)
   performing this operation must be an operator or administrator of the
   Printer object (see [RFC2911] Sections 1 and 8.5).

 INTERNET-DRAFT   IPP: Job and Printer Admin. Operations   July 15, 2004


   The Promote-Job Request and Promote-Job Response have the same
   attribute groups and attributes as the Cancel-Job operation (see
   [RFC2911] section 3.3.3), including the new "job-message-from-
   operator" operation attribute (see section 6).


4.4.2 Schedule-Job-After operation

   This OPTIONAL operation allows a client to request the Printer to
   schedule the target job so that it will be processed immediately
   after the specified predecessor job, all other scheduling factors
   being equal.  This operation is specially useful in a production
   printing environment where the operator is involved in job
   scheduling.

   If the target job is in the 'pending' state, this operation does not
   change the job's state, but causes the job to be processed after the
   predecessor job completes.  The predecessor job can be in the
   'pending', 'processing', or 'processing-stopped' states.  If the
   target job is not in the 'pending' state or the predecessor job is
   not in the 'pending', 'processing', or 'processing-stopped' states,
   the Printer MUST reject the request and returns the 'client-error-
   not-possible' status code, since the job cannot have its position
   changed.

   If the Printer implements the "job-priority" Job Template attribute
   (see [RFC2911] section 4.2.1), the Printer sets the job's "job-
   priority" to that of the predecessor job (so that the job will print
   after the predecessor job).  The Printer returns the target job
   immediately after the predecessor in a Get-Jobs response (see
   [RFC2911] section 3.2.6) for the 'not-completed' jobs.

   When the predecessor job completes processing or is canceled or
   aborted while processing, the target of this operation is processed
   next.

   If the client does not supply a predecessor job, this operation has
   the same semantics as Promote-Job (see section 4.4).

   IPP is specified not to require queues for job scheduling, since
   there are other implementation techniques for scheduling multiple
   jobs, such as re-evaluating a criteria function for each job on a
   scheduling cycle.  However, if an implementation does implement
   queues for jobs, then the Schedule-Job-After operation puts the
   specified job immediately after the specified job in the queue.  A
   subsequent Schedule-Job-After operation specifying the same job will
   cause its target job to be placed after that job, even though it is
   between the first target job and the specified job.  For example,

 Kugler, Hastings, Lewis    Expires:  January 15, 2005         [Page 23]


 INTERNET-DRAFT   IPP: Job and Printer Admin. Operations   July 15, 2004


   suppose the job queue consisted of jobs: A, B, C, D, and E, in that
   order.  A Schedule-Job-After with job E as the target and B as the
   specified job would result in the following queue:  A, B, E, C, D.  A
   subsequent Schedule-Job-After with Job D as the target and B as the
   specified job would result in the following queue:  A, B, D, E, C.
   In other words, the link between the two jobs in a Schedule-Job-After
   operation is not retained, i.e., there is no attribute on either job
   that points to the other job as a result of this operation.

   Access Rights: The authenticated user (see [RFC2911] section 8.3)
   performing this operation must be operator or administrator of the
   Printer object (see [RFC2911] Sections 1 and 8.5).

   The Schedule-Job-After Request have the same attribute groups and
   attributes as the Cancel-Job operation (see [RFC2911] section 3.3.3),
   plus the new "job-message-from-operator" operation attribute (see
   section 6).  In addition, the following operation attributes are
   defined:

      "predecessor-job-id":
         The client OPTIONALLY supplies this attribute.  The Printer
         MUST support it, if it supports this operation.  This attribute
         specifies the job after which the target job is to be
         processed.  If the client omits this attribute, the Printer
         MUST process the target job next, i.e., after the current job,
         if any.

   The Schedule-Job-After Response has the same attribute groups,
   attributes, and status codes as the Cancel-Job operation (see
   [RFC2911] section 3.3.3).  The following status codes have particular
   meaning for this operation:

      'client-error-not-possible' - the target job was not in the
         'pending' state or the predecessor job was no in the 'pending',
         'processing', or 'processing-stopped' states.
      'client-error-not-found' - either the target job or the
         predecessor job was not found.

5 Additional status codes

   This section defines new status codes used by the operations defined
   in this document.


5.1 'server-error-printer-is-deactivated' (0x050A)

   The Printer has been deactivated using the Deactivate-Printer
   operation and is only accepting the Activate-Printer (see section

   3.5.1), Get-Job-Attributes, Get-Jobs, Get-Printer-Attributes, and any
   other Get-Xxxx operations.  An operator can perform the Activate-
   Printer operation to allow the Printer to accept other operations.


6 Use of Operation Attributes that are Messages from the Operator

   This section summarizes the usage of the "printer-message-from-
   operator" and "job-message-from-operator" operation attributes
   [RFC3380] that set the corresponding Printer and Job Description
   attributes (see [RFC2911] for the definition of these Description
   attributes).  These operation attributes are defined for most of the
   Printer and Job operations that operators are likely to perform,
   respectively, so that operators can indicate the reasons for their
   actions.

        contain a message to the operator but [RFC2911] does not define
        a Job Description to store the message.

7 New Printer Description Attributes

   The following new Printer Description attributes are needed to
   support the new operations defined in this document and the concepts
   of Printer Fan-Out (see section 10).


7.1 subordinate-printers-supported (1setOf uri)

   This Printer attribute is REQUIRED if an implementation supports
   Subordinate Printers (see section 10) and contains the URIs of the
   immediate Subordinate Printer object(s) associated with this Printer
   object.  Each Non-Leaf Printer object MUST support this Printer
   Description attribute.  A Leaf Printer object either does not support
   the "subordinate-printers-supported" attribute or does so with the
   'no-value' out-of-band value (see [RFC2911] section 4.1), depending
   on implementation.

   The precise format of the Subordinate Printer URIs is implementation
   dependent (see section 10.4).

   If the Printer object does not have an associated Output Device, the
   Printer MAY automatically copy the value of the Subordinate Printer
   object's "printer-name" attribute to the Job object's  "output-
   device-assigned" attribute (see [RFC2911] section 4.3.13).  The
   "output-device-assigned" Job attribute identifies the Output Device
   to which the Printer object has assigned a job, for example, when a
   single Printer object is supporting Device Fan-Out or Printer Fan-
   Out.


7.2 parent-printers-supported (1setOf uri)

   This Printer attribute is REQUIRED if an implementation supports
   Subordinate Printers (see section 10) and contains the URI of the
   Non-Leaf printer object(s) for which this Printer object is the
   immediate Subordinate, i.e., this Printer's immediate "parent" or
   "parents".  Each Subordinate Printer object MUST support this Printer
   Description attribute.  A Printer that has no parents, either does
   not support the "parent-printers-supported" attribute or does so with
   the 'no-value' out-of-band value (see [RFC2911] section 4.1),
   depending on implementation.

8 Additional Values for the "printer-state-reasons" Printer Description
   attribute

   This section defines additional values for the "printer-state-
   reasons" Printer Description attribute.


8.1 'hold-new-jobs' value

   'hold-new-jobs': The operator has issued the Hold-New-Jobs operation
      (see section 3.3.1) or other means, but the output-device(s) are
      taking an appreciable time to stop.  Later, when all output has
      stopped, the "printer-state" becomes 'stopped', and the 'paused'
      value replaces the 'moving-to-paused' value in the "printer-state-
      reasons" attribute.  This value MUST be supported, if the Hold-
      New-Jobs operation is supported and the implementation takes
      significant time to pause a device in certain circumstances.


8.2 'deactivated' value

   'deactivated':  A client has issued a Deactivate-Printer operation
      for the Printer object (see section 3.4.1) and the Printer is in
      the process of becoming deactivated or has become deactivated. The
      Printer MUST reject all requests except Activate-Printer, queries
      (Get-Printer-Attributes, Get-Job-Attributes, Get-Jobs, etc.),
      Send-Document, and Send-URI (so that partial job submission can be
      completed - see section 3.1.1) and return the 'server-error-
      service-unavailable' status code.


9 Additional Values for the "job-state-reasons" Job Description
   attribute

   This section defines additional values for the "job-state-reasons"
   Job Description attribute.

 INTERNET-DRAFT   IPP: Job and Printer Admin. Operations   July 15, 2004


9.1 'job-suspended' value

      'job-suspended':  The job has been suspended while processing
         using the Suspend-Current-Job operation and other jobs can be
         processed on the Printer.  The Job can be resumed using the
         Resume-Job operation which removes this value.

10 Use of the Printer object to represent IPP Printer Fan-Out and IPP
   Printer Fan-In

   This section defines how the Printer object MAY be used to represent
   IPP Printer Fan-Out and IPP Printer Fan-In.  Fan-Out is where an IPP
   Printer is used to represent other IPP Printer objects.  Fan-In is
   where several IPP Printer objects are used to represent another IPP
   Printer object.


10.1 IPP Printer Fan-Out

   The IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics introduces the semantic concept of an
   IPP Printer object that represents more than one Output Device (see
   [RFC2911] section 2.1).  This concept is called "Output Device Fan-
   Out".   However, there was no way to represent the individual states
   of the Output Devices or to perform operations on a specific Output
   Device when there was Fan-Out.  This document generalizes the
   semantics of the Printer object to represent such Subordinate Fan-Out
   Output Devices as IPP Printer objects.  This concept is called
   "Printer object Fan-Out".  A Printer object that has a Subordinate
   Printer object is called a Non-Leaf Printer object.  Thus a Non-Leaf
   Printer object supports one or more Subordinate Printer objects in
   order to represent Printer object Fan-Out. A Printer object that does
   not have any Subordinate Printer objects is called a Leaf Printer
   object.

   Each Non-Leaf Printer object submits jobs to its immediate
   Subordinate Printers and otherwise controls the Subordinate Printers
   using IPP or other protocols.  Whether pending jobs are kept in the
   Non-Leaf Printer until a Subordinate Printer can accept them or are
   kept in the Subordinate Printers depends on implementation and/or
   configuration policy.  Furthermore, a Subordinate Printer object MAY,
   in turn, have Subordinate Printer objects.  Thus a Printer object can
   be both a Non-Leaf Printer and a Subordinate Printer.

   A Subordinate Printer object MUST be a conforming Printer object, so
   it MUST support all of the REQUIRED [RFC2911] operations and
   attributes.  However, with access control, the Subordinate Printer
   MAY be configured so that end-user clients are not permitted to
   perform any operations (or just Get-Printer-Attributes) while one or

 Kugler, Hastings, Lewis    Expires:  January 15, 2005         [Page 30]


 INTERNET-DRAFT   IPP: Job and Printer Admin. Operations   July 15, 2004


   more Non-Leaf Printer object(s) are permitted to perform any
   operation.


10.2 IPP Printer Fan-In

   The IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics did not preclude the semantic concept
   of multiple IPP Printer objects that represent a single Output Device
   (see [RFC2911] section 2.1).  However, there was no way for the
   client to determine that there was a Fan-In configuration, nor was
   there a way to perform operations on the Subordinate device.  This
   specification generalizes the semantics of the Printer object to
   allow several Non-Leaf IPP Printer objects to represent a single
   Subordinate Printer object.  Thus a Non-Leaf Printer object MAY share
   a Subordinate Printer object with one or more other Non-Leaf Printer
   objects in order to represent IPP Printer Fan-In.

   As with Fan-Out (see section 10.1), when a Printer object is a Non-
   Leaf Printer, it MUST NOT have an associated Output Device.  As with
   Fan-Out, a Leaf Printer object has one or more associated Output
   Devices.  As with Fan-Out, the Non-Leaf Printer objects submit jobs
   to their Subordinate Printer objects and otherwise control the
   Subordinate Printer.  As with Fan-Out, whether pending jobs are kept
   in the Non-Leaf Printers until the Subordinate Printer can accept
   them or are kept in the Subordinate Printer depends on implementation
   and/or configuration policy.


10.3 Printer object attributes used to represent Printer Fan-Out and
    Printer Fan-In

   The following Printer Description attributes are defined to represent
   the relationship between Printer object(s) and their Subordinate
   Printer object(s):

     1. "subordinate-printers-supported" (1setOf uri) - contains the URI
        of the immediate Subordinate Printer object(s).

     2. "parent-printers-supported (1setOf uri) - contains the URI of
        the Non-Leaf printer object(s) for which this Printer object is
        the immediate Subordinate, i.e., this Printer's immediate
        "parent" or "parents".


10.4  Subordinate Printer URI

   Each Subordinate Printer object has a URI which is used as the target
   of each operation on the Subordinate Printer.  The means for

 Kugler, Hastings, Lewis    Expires:  January 15, 2005         [Page 31]


 INTERNET-DRAFT   IPP: Job and Printer Admin. Operations   July 15, 2004


   configuring URIs for Subordinate Printer objects is implementation-
   dependent as are all URIs.  However, there are two distinct
   approaches:

     a. When the implementation wants to make sure that no operation on
     a Subordinate Printer object as a target "sneaks by" the parent
     Printer object (or the Subordinate Printer is fronting for a device
     that is not networked), the host part of the URI specifies the host
     of the parent Printer.  Then the parent Printer object can easily
     reflect the state of the Subordinate Printer objects in the
     parent's Printer object state and state reasons as the operation
     passes "through" the parent Printer object.

     b. When the Subordinate Printer is networked and the implementation
     allows operations to go directly to the Subordinate Printer (with
     proper access control) without knowledge of the parent Printer
     object, the host part of the URI is different than the host part of
     the parent Printer object.  In such a case, the parent Printer
     object MAY keep its "printer-state" and "printer-state-reasons" up
     to date, either by polling the Subordinate Printer object or by
     subscribing to events with the Subordinate Printer object (see
     [ipp-ntfy] for means to subscribe to event notification when the
     Subordinate Printer object supports IPP notification).
     Alternatively, the parent Printer MAY wait until its "printer-
     state" and "printer-state-reasons" attributes are queried and then
     query all its Subordinate Printers in order to return the correct
     values.


10.5 Printer object attributes used to represent Output Device Fan-Out

   Only Leaf IPP Printer objects are allowed to have one or more
   associated Output Devices.  Each Leaf Printer object MAY support the
   "output-devices-supported" (1setOf name(127)) to indicate the user-
   friendly name(s) of the Output Device(s) that the Leaf Printer object
   represents.  It is RECOMMENDED that each Leaf Printer object have
   only one associated Output Device, so that the individual Output
   Devices can be represented completely and controlled completely by
   clients.  In other words, the Leaf Printer's "output-devices-
   supported" attribute SHOULD have only one value.









 Kugler, Hastings, Lewis    Expires:  January 15, 2005         [Page 32]


 INTERNET-DRAFT   IPP: Job and Printer Admin. Operations   July 15, 2004


   Non-Leaf Printer MUST NOT have associated Output Devices.  However, a
   Non-Leaf Printer SHOULD support an "output-devices-supported" (1setOf
   name(127)) Printer Description attribute that contains all the values
   of its immediate Subordinate Printers.  Since such Subordinate
   Printers MAY be Leaf or Non-Leaf, the same rules apply to them, etc.
   Thus any Non-Leaf Printer SHOULD have an "output-devices-supported"
   (1setOf name(127)) attribute that contains all the values of the
   Output Devices associated with Leaf Printers of its complete sub-
   tree.

   When adding, removing, or changing a configuration of Printers and
   Output Devices, there can be moments in time when the tree structure
   is not consistent.  In other words, times when a Non-Leaf Printer's
   "subordinate-printers-supported" does not agree with the Subordinate
   Printer's "parent-printers-supported".   Therefore, the operator
   SHOULD first Deactivate all Printers that are being configured in
   this way, update all pointer attributes, and then reactivate.  A
   useful client tool would validate a tree structure before Activating
   the Printers involved.

10.6 Figures to show all possible configurations

   Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3 are taken from [RFC2911] to show the
   configurations possible with IPP/1.0 and IPP/1.1 where all Printer
   objects are Leaf Printer objects.  The remaining figures show
   additional configurations that this document defines using Non-Leaf
   and Leaf Printer objects. Legend for all figures:

10.7 Forwarding requests

   This section describes the forwarding of Job and Printer requests to
   Subordinate Printer objects.


10.7.1 Forwarding requests that affect Printer objects

   In Printer Fan-Out, Printer Fan-In, and Chained Printers, the Non-
   Leaf IPP Printer object MUST NOT forward the operations that affect
   Printer objects to its Subordinate Printer objects.  If a client
   wants to explicitly target a Subordinate Printer, the client MUST
   specify the URI of the Subordinate Printer.   The client can
   determine the URI of any Subordinate Printers by querying the
   Printer's "subordinate-printers-supported (1setOf uri) attribute (see
   section 7.1).

10.7.2 Forwarding requests that affect Jobs

   Unlike Printer Operations that only affect Printer objects (see
   section 10.7.1), a Non-Leaf Printer object MUST forward operations
   that directly affect jobs to the appropriate Job object(s) in one or
   more of its immediate Subordinate Printer objects.  Forwarding is
   REQUIRED since the purpose of such a Job operation is to affect the
   indicated job which itself may have been forwarded.  Such forwarding
   MAY be immediate or queued, depending on the operation and the
   implementation.  For example, a Non-Leaf Printer object MAY
   queue/spool jobs, feeding a job at a time to its Subordinate
   Printer(s), or MAY forward jobs immediately to one of its Subordinate
   Printers.  In either case, the Non-Leaf Printer object is forwarding
   Job Creation operations to one of its Subordinate Printers.  Only the
   time of forwarding of the Job Creation operations depends on whether
   the policy is to queue/spool jobs in the Non-Leaf Printer or the
   Subordinate Printer.

   When a Non-Leaf Printer object creates a Job object in its
   Subordinate Printer, whether that Non-Leaf Printer object keeps a
   fully formed Job object or just keeps a mapping from the "job-ids"
   that it assigned to those assigned by its Subordinate Printer object
   is IMPLEMENTATION-DEPENDENT.  In either case, the Non-Leaf Printer
   MUST be able to accept and carry out future Job operations that
   specify the "job-id" that the Non-Leaf Printer assigned and returned
   to the job submitting client.

   Table 8 lists the operations that directly affect jobs and the
   forwarding behavior that a Non-Leaf Printer MUST exhibit to its
   Subordinate Printers:

   When a Printer receives a request that REQUIRES forwarding, it does
   so on a "best efforts basis", and returns a response to its client
   without waiting for responses from any of its Subordinate Printers.
   Such forwarded requests could fail.


10.8 Additional attributes to help with fan-out

   The following operation and Job Description attributes are defined to
   help represent Job relationships for Fan-Out and forwarding of jobs:


10.8.1 output-device-assigned (name(127)) Job Description attribute -
     from [RFC2911]

   [RFC2911] defines "output-device-assigned" as:  "This attribute
   identifies the Output Device to which the Printer object has assigned
   this job.  If an Output Device implements an embedded Printer object,
   the Printer object NEED NOT set this attribute.  If a print server
   implements a Printer object, the value MAY be empty (zero-length
   string) or not returned until the Printer object assigns an Output
   Device to the job.  This attribute is particularly useful when a
   single Printer object supports multiple devices (so called "Device
   Fan-Out" see [RFC2911] section 2.1)."  See also section 10.1 in this
   specification.


10.8.2 original-requesting-user-name (name(MAX)) operation and Job
     Description attribute

   The operation attribute containing the user name of the original
   user, i.e., corresponds to the "requesting-user-name" operation
   attribute (see [RFC2911] section 3.2.1.1) that the original client
   supplied to the first Printer object.  The Printer copies the
   "original-requesting-user-name" operation attribute to the
   corresponding Job Description attribute.


10.8.3 requesting-user-name (name(MAX)) operation attribute - additional
     semantics

   The IPP/1.1 "requesting-user-name" operation attribute (see [RFC2911]
   section 3.2.1.1) is updated by each client to be itself on each hop,
   i.e., the "requesting-user-name" is the client forwarding the
   request, not the original client.

 INTERNET-DRAFT   IPP: Job and Printer Admin. Operations   July 15, 2004


10.8.4 job-originating-user-name (name(MAX)) Job Description attribute -
     additional semantics

   The "job-originating-user-name" Job Description attribute (see
   [RFC2911] section 4.3.6) remains as the authenticated original user,
   not the parent Printer's authenticated host, and is forwarded by each
   client without changing the value.


11 Conformance Requirements

   document are OPTIONAL operations.  However, some operations MUST be
   implemented if others are implemented as shown in Table 9.

16 Security Considerations

   The IPP Model and Semantics document [RFC2911] discusses high level
   security requirements (Client Authentication, Server Authentication
   and Operation Privacy). Client Authentication is the mechanism by
   which the client proves its identity to the server in a secure
   manner. Server Authentication is the mechanism by which the server
   proves its identity to the client in a secure manner. Operation
   Privacy is defined as a mechanism for protecting operations from
   eavesdropping.

   Printer operations defined in this specification (see section 3) and
   Pause-Printer, Resume-Printer, and Purge-Job (defined in [RFC2911])
   are intended for use by an operator and/or administrator.  Job
   operations defined in this specification (see section 4) and Cancel-
   Job, Hold-Job, Release-Job defined in [RFC2911]) are intended for use
   by the job owner or may be an operator or administrator of the
   Printer object.  These operator and administrative operations affect
   the service of all users.  In appropriate use of an administrative
   operation by an un-authenticated end user could affect the quality of
   service for all users.  Therefore, for both inter-net and intra-net,
   conformance to this specification REQUIRES that initial configuration
   of IPP Printer implementations MUST require successful certificate-
   based TLS [RFC2246] client authentication and successful operator and
   administrator authorization (see [RFC2911] sections 5.2.7 and 8 and
   [RFC2910]) for any administrative operations defined in this
   document.  [RFC2910] REQUIRES the IPP Printer to support the minimum
   cypher suite required for TLS/1.0.  The means for authorizing an
   operator or administrator of the Printer object are outside the scope
   of this specification, [RFC2911], and [RFC2910].

   The use of TLS and Client Authentication solves the Denial of
   Service, Man in the Middle, and Masquerading security threats.

19 Summary of Base IPP Documents

   The base set of IPP documents includes:

     Design Goals for an Internet Printing Protocol [RFC2567]
     Rationale for the Structure and Model and Protocol for the Internet
     Printing Protocol [RFC2568]
     Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Model and Semantics [RFC2911]
     Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Encoding and Transport [RFC2910]
     Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Implementer's Guide [RFC3196]
     Mapping between LPD and IPP Protocols [RFC2569]

   The "Design Goals for an Internet Printing Protocol" document takes a
   broad look at distributed printing functionality, and it enumerates
   real-life scenarios that help to clarify the features that need to be
   included in a printing protocol for the Internet.  It identifies
   requirements for three types of users: end users, operators, and
   administrators.  It calls out a subset of end user requirements that
   are satisfied in IPP/1.0.  A few OPTIONAL operator operations have
   been added to IPP/1.1.

   The "Rationale for the Structure and Model and Protocol for the
   Internet Printing Protocol" document describes IPP from a high level
   view, defines a roadmap for the various documents that form the suite
   of IPP specification documents, and gives background and rationale
   for the IETF working group's major decisions.

   The "Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Model and Semantics" document
   describes a simplified model with abstract objects, their attributes,
   and their operations that are independent of encoding and transport.
   It introduces a Printer and a Job object.  The Job object optionally
   supports multiple documents per Job.  It also addresses security,
   internationalization, and directory issues.

   The "Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Encoding and Transport" document
   is a formal mapping of the abstract operations and attributes defined
   in the model document onto HTTP/1.1 [RFC2616].  It defines the
   encoding rules for a new Internet MIME media type called
   "application/ipp".  This document also defines the rules for
   transporting over HTTP a message body whose Content-Type is
   "application/ipp".  This document defines the 'ippget' scheme for
   identifying IPP printers and jobs.

   The "Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Implementer's Guide" document
   gives insight and advice to implementers of IPP clients and IPP
   objects.  It is intended to help them understand IPP/1.1 and some of
   the considerations that may assist them in the design of their client
   and/or IPP object implementations.  For example, a typical order of

   processing requests is given, including error checking.  Motivation
   for some of the specification decisions is also included.

   The "Mapping between LPD and IPP Protocols" document gives some
   advice to implementers of gateways between IPP and LPD (Line Printer
   Daemon) implementations.
