Abstract
This Internet-Draft specifies a set of 18 SNMP MIB objects for (1)
monitoring the status and progress of print jobs (2) obtaining
resource requirements before a job is processed, (3) monitoring
resource consumption while a job is being processed and (4)
collecting resource accounting data after the completion of a job.
This MIB is intended to be implemented (1) in a printer or (2) in a
server that supports one or more printers. Use of the object set
is not limited to printing. However, support for services other
than printing is outside the scope of this Job Monitoring MIB.

Job Monitoring MIB
1. Introduction
The Job Monitoring MIB is intended to be implemented by an agent within
a printer or the first server closest to the printer, where the printer
is either directly connected to the server only or the printer does not
contain the job monitoring MIB agent. It is recommended that
implementations place the SNMP agent as close as possible to the
processing of the print job. This MIB applies to printers with and
without spooling capabilities. This MIB is designed to be compatible
with most current commonly-used job submission protocols. In most
environments that support high function job submission/job control
protocols, like ISO DPA[iso-dpa], those protocols would be used to
monitor and manage print jobs rather than using the Job Monitoring MIB.
The Job Monitoring MIB consists of a 7-object General Group, a 2-object
Job Submission ID Group, a 7-object Job Group, and a 2-object Attribute
Group. Each group is a table. The General Group contains general
information that applies to all jobs in a job set. The Job Submission
ID table maps the job submission ID that the client uses to identify a
job to the jmJobIndex that the Job Monitoring Agent uses to identify
jobs in the Job and Attribute tables. The Job table contains the
MANDATORY integer job state and status objects. The Attribute table
consists of multiple entries per job that specify (1) job and document
identification and parameters, (2) requested resources, and (3)
consumed resources during and after job processing/printing. Sixty five
job attributes are defined as textual conventions that an agent SHALL
return if the server or device implements the functionality so
represented and the agent has access to the information.
1.1 Types of Information in the MIB
The job MIB is intended to provide the following information for the
indicated Role Models in the Printer MIB[print-mib] (Appendix D - Roles
of Users).
User:
Provide the ability to identify the least busy printer. The user
will be able to determine the number and size of jobs waiting for
each printer. No attempt is made to actually predict the length
of time that jobs will take.
Provide the ability to identify the current status of the user's
job (user queries).
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 8]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
Provide a timely indication that the job has completed and where
it can be found.
Provide error and diagnostic information for jobs that did not
successfully complete.
Operator:
Provide a presentation of the state of all the jobs in the print
system.
Provide the ability to identify the user that submitted the print
job.
Provide the ability to identify the resources required by each
job.
Provide the ability to define which physical printers are
candidates for the print job.
Provide some idea of how long each job will take. However, exact
estimates of time to process a job is not being attempted.
Instead, objects are included that allow the operator to be able
to make gross estimates.
Capacity Planner:
Provide the ability to determine printer utilization as a function
of time.
Provide the ability to determine how long jobs wait before
starting to print.
Accountant:
Provide information to allow the creation of a record of resources
consumed and printer usage data for charging users or groups for
resources consumed.
Provide information to allow the prediction of consumable usage
and resource need.
The MIB supports printers that can contain more than one job at a time,
but still be usable for low end printers that only contain a single job
at a time. In particular, the MIB supports the needs of Windows and
other PC environments for managing low-end networked devices without
unnecessary overhead or complexity, while also providing for higher end
systems and devices.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 9]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
1.2 Types of Job Monitoring Applications
The Job Monitoring MIB is designed for the following types of monitoring
applications:
1.Monitor a single job starting when the job is submitted and
finishing a defined period after the job completes. The Job
Submission ID table provides the map to find the specific job to be
monitored.
2.Monitor all 'active' jobs in a queue, which this specification
generalizes to a "job set". End users may use such a program when
selecting a least busy printer, so the MIB is designed for such a
program to start up quickly and find the information needed quickly
without having to read all (completed) jobs in order to find the
active jobs. System operators may also use such a program, in
which case it would be running for a long period of time and may
also be interested in the jobs that have completed. Finally such a
program may be used to provide an enhanced console and logging
capability.
3.Collect resource usage for accounting or system utilization
purposes that copy the completed job statistics to an accounting
system. It is recognized that depending on accounting programs to
copy MIB data during the job-retention period is somewhat
unreliable, since the accounting program may not be running (or may
have crashed). Such a program is also expected to keep a shadow
copy of the entire Job Attribute table including completed,
canceled, and aborted jobs which the program updates on each
polling cycle. Such a program polls at the rate of the persistence
of the Attribute table. The design is not optimized to help such
an application determine which jobs are completed, canceled, or
aborted. Instead, the application SHALL query each job that the
application's shadow copy shows was not complete, canceled, or
aborted at the previous poll cycle to see if it is now complete or
canceled, plus any new jobs that have been submitted.
The MIB provides a set of objects that represent a compatible subset of
job and document attributes of the ISO DPA standard[iso-dpa] and the
Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)[ipp-model], so that coherence is
maintained between these two protocols and the information presented to
end users and system operators by monitoring applications. However, the
job monitoring MIB is intended to be used with printers that implement
other job submitting and management protocols, such as IEEE 1284.1
(TIPSI)[tipsi], as well as with ones that do implement ISO DPA. Thus
the job monitoring MIB does not require implementation of either the ISO
DPA or IPP protocols.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 10]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
The MIB is designed so that an additional MIB(s) can be specified in the
future for monitoring multi-function (scan, FAX, copy) jobs as an
augmentation to this MIB.
2. Terminology and Job Model
This section defines the terms that are used in this specification and
the general model for jobs.
NOTE - Existing systems use conflicting terms, so these terms are
drawn from the ISO 10175 Document Printing Application (DPA)
standard[iso-dpa]. For example, PostScript systems use the term
session for what we call a job in this specification and the term job
to mean what we call a document in this specification. PJL systems
use the term job to mean what we call a job in this specification.
PJL also supports multiple documents per job, but does not support
specifying per-document attributes independently for each document.
Job: a unit of work whose results are expected together without
interjection of unrelated results. A job contains one or more
documents.
Job set: a group of jobs that are queued and scheduled together
according to a specified scheduling algorithm for a specified device or
set of devices. For implementations that embed the SNMP agent in the
device, the MIB job set normally represents all the jobs known to the
device, so that the implementation only implements a single job set. If
the SNMP agent is implemented in a server that controls one or more
devices, each MIB job set represents a job queue for (1) a specific
device or (2) set of devices, if the server uses a single queue to load
balance between several devices. Each job set is disjoint; no job SHALL
be represented in more than one MIB job set.
Document: a sub-section within a job that contains print data and
document instructions that apply to just the document.
Client: the network entity that end users use to submit jobs to
spoolers, servers, or printers and other devices, depending on the
configuration, using any job submission protocol.
Server: a network entity that accepts jobs from clients and in turn
submits the jobs to printers and other devices. A server MAY be a
printer supervisor control program, or a print spooler.
Device: a hardware entity that (1) interfaces to humans in human
perceptible means, such as produces marks on paper, scans marks on paper
to produce an electronic representations, or writes CD-ROMs or (2)
interfaces to a network, such as sends FAX data to another FAX device.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 11]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
Printer: a device that puts marks on media.
Supervisor: a server that contains a control program that controls a
printer or other device. A supervisor is a client to the printer or
other device.
Spooler: a server that accepts jobs, spools the data, and decides when
and on which printer to print the job. A spooler is a client to a
printer or a printer supervisor, depending on implementation.
Spooling: the act of a device or server of (1) accepting jobs and (2)
writing the job's attributes and document data on to secondary storage.
Queuing: the act of a device or server of ordering (queuing) the jobs
for the purposes of scheduling the jobs to be processed.
Monitor or Job Monitoring Application: the SNMP management application
that End Users, and System Operators use to monitor jobs using SNMP. A
monitor MAY be either a separate application or MAY be part of the
client that also submits jobs.
Accounting Application: the SNMP management application that copies job
information to some more permanent medium so that another application
can perform accounting on the data for Accountants, Asset Managers, and
Capacity Planners use.
Agent: the network entity that accepts SNMP requests from a monitor or
accounting application and provides access to the instrumentation for
managing jobs modeled by the management objects defined in the Job
Monitoring MIB module for a server or a device.
Proxy: an agent that acts as a concentrator for one or more other
agents by accepting SNMP operations on the behalf of one or more other
agents, forwarding them on to those other agents, gathering responses
from those other agents and returning them to the original requesting
monitor.
User: is a person that uses a client or a monitor.
End User: is a user that uses a client to submit a print job.
System Operator: is a user that uses a monitor to monitor the system
and carries out tasks to keep the system running.
System Administrator: is a user that specifies policy for the system.
Job Instruction: is an instruction specifying how, when, or where the
job is to be processed. Job instructions MAY be passed in the job
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 12]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
submission protocol or MAY be embedded in the document data or a
combination depending on the job submission protocol and implementation.
Document Instruction: is an instruction specifying how to process the
document. Document instructions MAY be passed in the job submission
protocol separate from the actual document data, or MAY be embedded in
the document data or a combination, depending on the job submission
protocol and implementation.
SNMP Information Object: is a name, value-pair that specifies an
action, a status, or a condition in an SNMP MIB. Objects are identified
in SNMP by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER.
Attribute: is a name, value-pair that specifies a job or document
instruction, a status, or a condition of a job or a document that has
been submitted to a server or device. A particular attribute NEED NOT
be present in each job instance. In other words, attributes are present
in a job instance only when there is a need to express the value, either
because (1) the client supplied a value in the job submission protocol,
(2) the document data contained an embedded attribute, or (3) the server
or device supplied a default value. An agent SHALL represent an
attribute as an entry (row) in the Attribute table in this MIB in which
entries are present only when necessary. Attributes are identified in
this MIB by an enum.
Job Monitoring (using SNMP): is (1) identifying jobs within the serial
streams of data being processed by the server, printer or other devices,
(2) creating "rows" in the job table for each job, and (3) recording
information, known by the agent, about the processing of the job in that
"row".
Job Accounting: is recording what happens to the job during the
processing and printing of the job.
2.1 System Configurations for the Job Monitoring MIB
This section enumerates the three configurations in which the Job
Monitoring MIB is intended to be used. To simplify the pictures, the
devices are shown as printers. See Goals section.
The diagram in the Printer MIB[print-mib] entitled: "One Printer's View
of the Network" is assumed for this MIB as well. Please refer to that
diagram to aid in understanding the following system configurations.
2.1.1 Configuration 1 - client-printer
In the client-printer configuration, the client(s) submit jobs directly
to the printer, either by some direct connect, or by network connection.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 13]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
The client-printer configuration can accommodate multiple job submitting
clients in either of two ways:
1.if each client relinquishes control of the Print Job Delivery
Channel after each job (or after a number of jobs)
2.if the printer supports more than one Print Job Delivery Channel
The job submitting client and/or monitoring application monitor jobs by
communicating directly with an agent that is part of the printer. The
agent in the Printer SHALL keep the job in the Job Monitoring MIB as
long as the job is in the Printer, plus a defined time period after the
job enters the completed state in which accounting programs can copy out
the accounting data from the Job Monitoring MIB.

1.Multiple clients MAY submit jobs to a printer.
2.Multiple clients MAY monitor a printer.
3.Multiple monitors MAY monitor a printer.
4.A client MAY submit jobs to multiple printers.
5.A monitor MAY monitor multiple printers.
2.1.2 Configuration 2 - client-server-printer - agent in the server
In the client-server-printer configuration 2, the client(s) submit jobs
to an intermediate server by some network connection, not directly to
the printer. While configuration 2 is included, the design center for
this MIB is configurations 1 and 3,
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 14]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
The job submitting client and/or monitoring application monitor job by
communicating directly with:
A Job Monitoring MIB agent that is part of the server (or a front
for the server)
There is no SNMP Job Monitoring MIB agent in the printer in
configuration 2, at least that the client or monitor are aware. In this
configuration, the agent SHALL return the current values of the objects
in the Job Monitoring MIB both for jobs the server keeps and jobs that
the server has submitted to the printer. The Job Monitoring MIB agent
SHALL obtain the required information from the printer by a method that
is beyond the scope of this document. The agent in the server SHALL
keep the job in the Job Monitoring MIB in the server as long as the job
is in the Printer, plus a defined time period after the job enters the
completed state in which accounting programs can copy out the accounting
data from the Job Monitoring MIB.

The Job Monitoring MIB is designed to support the following
relationships (not shown in Figure 2-2):
1.Multiple clients MAY submit jobs to a server.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 15]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
2.Multiple clients MAY monitor a server.
3.Multiple monitors MAY monitor a server.
4.A client MAY submit jobs to multiple servers.
5.A monitor MAY monitor multiple servers.
6.Multiple servers MAY submit jobs to a printer.
7.Multiple servers MAY control a printer.
2.1.3 Configuration 3 - client-server-printer - client monitors printer
agent and server
In the client-server-printer configuration 3, the client(s) submit jobs
to an intermediate server by some network connection, not directly to
the printer. That server does not contain a Job Monitoring MIB and
agent.
The job submitting client and/or monitoring application monitor jobs by
communicating directly with:
1.The server using some undefined protocol to monitor jobs in the
server (that does not contain the Job Monitoring MIB) AND
2.A Job Monitoring MIB agent that is part of the printer to
monitor jobs after the server passes the jobs to the printer.
In such configurations, the server deletes its copy of the job
from the server after submitting the job to the printer usually
almost immediately (before the job does much processing, if
any).
In configuration 3, the agent (in the printer) SHALL keep the values of
the objects in the Job Monitoring MIB that the agent implements updated
for a job that the server has submitted to the printer. The agent SHALL
obtain information about the jobs submitted to the printer from the
server (either in the job submission protocol, in the document data, or
by direct query of the server), in order to populate some of the objects
the Job Monitoring MIB in the printer. The agent in the printer SHALL
keep the job in the Job Monitoring MIB as long as the job is in the
Printer, and longer in order to implement the completed state in which
monitoring programs can copy out the accounting data from the Job
Monitoring MIB.

Figure 2-3 - Configuration 3 - client-server-printer - client monitors
printer agent and server
The Job Monitoring MIB is designed to support the following
relationships (not shown in Figure 2-3):
1.Multiple clients MAY submit jobs to a server.
2.Multiple clients MAY monitor a server.
3.Multiple monitors MAY monitor a server.
4.A client MAY submit jobs to multiple servers.
5.A monitor MAY monitor multiple servers.
6.Multiple servers MAY submit jobs to a printer.
7.Multiple servers MAY control a printer.
3. Managed Object Usage
This section describes the usage of the objects in the MIB.
3.1 Conformance Considerations
In order to achieve interoperability between job monitoring applications
and job monitoring agents, this specification includes the conformance
requirements for both monitoring applications and agents.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 17]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
3.1.1 Conformance Terminology
This specification uses the verbs: "SHALL", "SHOULD", "MAY", and "NEED
NOT" to specify conformance requirements according to RFC 2119 [req-
words] as follows:
. "SHALL": indicates an action that the subject of the sentence must
implement in order to claim conformance to this specification
. "MAY": indicates an action that the subject of the sentence does
not have to implement in order to claim conformance to this
specification, in other words that action is an implementation
option
. "NEED NOT": indicates an action that the subject of the sentence
does not have to implement in order to claim conformance to this
specification. The verb "NEED NOT" is used instead of "may not",
since "may not" sounds like a prohibition.
. "SHOULD": indicates an action that is recommended for the subject
of the sentence to implement, but is not required, in order to
claim conformance to this specification.
3.1.2 Agent Conformance Requirements
A conforming agent:
1.SHALL implement all MANDATORY groups in this specification.
2.SHALL implement any attributes if (1) the server or device supports
the functionality represented by the attribute and (2) the
information is available to the agent.
3.SHOULD implement both forms of an attribute if it implements an
attribute that permits a choice of INTEGER and OCTET STRING forms,
since implementing both forms may help management applications by
giving them a choice of representations, since the representation are
equivalent. See the JmAttributeTypeTC textual-convention.
NOTE - This MIB, like the Printer MIB, is written following the
subset of SMIv2 that can be supported by SMIv1 and SNMPv1
implementations.
3.1.2.1 MIB II System Group objects
The Job Monitoring MIB agent SHALL implement all objects in the System
Group of MIB-II[mib-II], whether the Printer MIB[print-mib] is
implemented or not.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 18]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
3.1.2.2 MIB II Interface Group objects
The Job Monitoring MIB agent SHALL implement all objects in the
Interfaces Group of MIB-II[mib-II], whether the Printer MIB[print-mib]
is implemented or not.
3.1.2.3 Printer MIB objects
If the agent is providing access to a device that is a printer, the
agent SHALL implement all of the MANDATORY objects in the Printer
MIB[print-mib] and all the objects in other MIBs that conformance to the
Printer MIB requires, such as the Host Resources MIB[hr-mib]. If the
agent is providing access to a server that controls one or more
networked printers, the agent NEED NOT implement the Printer MIB and
NEED NOT implement the Host Resources MIB.
3.1.3 Job Monitoring Application Conformance Requirements
A conforming job monitoring application:
1.SHALL accept the full syntactic range for all objects in all
MANDATORY groups and all MANDATORY attributes that are required to be
implemented by an agent according to Section 3.1.2 and SHALL either
present them to the user or ignore them.
2.SHALL accept the full syntactic range for all attributes, including
enum and bit values specified in this specification and additional
ones that may be registered with IANA and SHALL either present them
to the user or ignore them. In particular, a conforming job
monitoring application SHALL not malfunction when receiving any
standard or registered enum or bit values. See Section 3.6 entitled
"IANA Considerations".
3.SHALL NOT fail when operating with agents that materialize attributes
after the job has been submitted, as opposed to when the job is
submitted.
4.SHALL, if it supports a time attribute, accept either form of the
time attribute, since agents are free to implement either time form.
3.2 The Job Tables and the Oldest Active and Newest Active Indexes
The jmJobTable and jmAttributeTable contain objects and attributes,
respectively, for each job in a job set. These first two indexes are:
1.jmGeneralJobSetIndex - which job set
2.jmJobIndex - which job in the job set
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 19]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
In order for a monitoring application to quickly find that active jobs
(jobs in the pending, processing, or processingStopped states), the MIB
contains two indexes:
1.jmGeneralOldestActiveJobIndex - the index of the active job that
has been in the tables the longest.
2.jmGeneralNewestActiveJobIndex - the index of the active job that
has been most recently added to the tables.
When a new job is accepted by the server or device that the agent is
providing access to , the agent SHALL assign the next available value to
the job's jmJobIndex that is used for storing job information in the
jmJobTable and the jmAttributeTable. If the value would exceed the
implementation-defined maximum value for jmJobIndex, the agent SHALL set
the value back to 1, i.e., 'wrap' around to the beginning of the job
tables.
It is recommended that the largest value for jmJobIndex be much larger
than the maximum number of jobs that the implementation can contain at a
single time, so as to minimize the pre-mature re-use of jmJobIndex value
for a newer job while clients retain the same 'stale' value for an older
job.
Each time a new job is accepted by the server or device that the agent
is providing access to AND that job is to be 'active' (pending,
processing, or processingStopped, but not pendingHeld), the agent SHALL
copy the value of the job's jmJobIndex to the
jmGeneralNewestActiveJobIndex object. If the new job is to be
'inactive' (pendingHeld state), the agent SHALL not change the value of
jmGeneralNewestActiveJobIndex object.
When a job transitions from one of the 'active' states (pending,
processing, processingStopped) to one of the 'inactive' states
(pendingHeld, completed, canceled, or aborted), with a jmJobIndex value
that matches the jmGeneralOldestActiveJobIndex object, the agent SHALL
advance (or wrap) the value to the next oldest 'active' job, if any.
Whenever a job changes from 'inactive' to 'active' (from pendingHeld to
pending or processing), the agent SHALL update the value of either the
jmGeneralOldestActiveJobIndex or the jmGeneralNewestActiveJobIndex
objects, or both, if the job's jmJobIndex value is outside the range
between jmGeneralOldestActiveJobIndex and jmGeneralNewestActiveJobIndex.
When all jobs become 'inactive', i.e., enter the pendingHeld, completed,
canceled, or aborted states, the agent SHALL set the value of both the
jmGeneralOldestActiveJobIndex and jmGeneralNewestActiveJobIndex objects
to 0.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 20]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
NOTE - Applications that wish to efficiently access all of the active
jobs MAY use jmGeneralOldestActiveJobIndex value to start with the
oldest active job and continue until they reach the index value equal to
jmGeneralNewestActiveJobIndex, skipping over any pendingHeld, completed,
canceled, or aborted jobs that might intervene.
If an application detects that the jmGeneralNewestActiveJobIndex is
smaller than jmGeneralOldestActiveJobIndex, the job index has wrapped.
In this case, when the application detects that the returned OID is in a
different MIB (Get Next has moved to the next MIB in the agent), the
application SHALL start over at 1 and continue the GetNext operations to
find the rest of the active jobs.
When the server or device is power-cycled, the agent SHALL remember the
next jmJobIndex value to be assigned, so that new jobs are not assigned
the same jmJobIndex as recent jobs before the power cycle.
3.3 The Attribute Mechanism
Attributes are similar to information objects, except that attributes
are identified by an enum, instead of an OID, so that attributes may be
registered without requiring a new MIB. Also an implementation that
does not have the functionality represented by the attribute can omit
the attribute entirely, rather than having to return a distinguished
value. The agent is free to materialize an attribute in the
jmAttributeTable as soon as the agent is aware of the value of the
attribute.
The agent materializes job attributes in a four-indexed
jmAttributeTable:
1.jmGeneralJobSetIndex - which job set
2.jmJobIndex - which job in the job set
3.jmAttributeTypeIndex - which attribute
4.jmAttributeInstanceIndex - which attribute instance for those
attributes that can have multiple values per job.
Some attributes represent information about a job, such as a file-name,
a document-name, a submission-time or a completion time. Other
attributes represent resources required, e.g., a medium or a colorant,
etc. to process the job before the job starts processing OR to indicate
the amount of the resource consumed during and after processing, e.g.,
pages completed or impressions completed. If both a required and a
consumed value of a resource is needed, this specification assigns two
separate attribute enums in the textual convention.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 21]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
NOTE - The table of contents lists all the attributes in order. This
order is the order of enum assignments which is the order that the SNMP
GetNext operation returns attributes. Most attributes apply to all
three configurations covered by this MIB specification (see section 2.1
entitled "System Configurations for the Job Monitoring MIB"). Those
attribute that apply to a particular configuration are indicated as
'Configuration n:' and SHALL NOT be used with other configurations.
3.3.1 Conformance of Attribute Implementation
An agent SHALL implement any attribute if (1) the server or device
supports the functionality represented by the attribute and (2) the
information is available to the agent. The agent MAY create the
attribute row in the jmAttributeTable when the information is available
or MAY create the row earlier with the designated 'unknown' value
appropriate for that attribute. See next section.
If the server or device does not implement or does not provide access to
the information about an attribute, the agent SHOULD NOT create the
corresponding row in the jmAttributeTable.
3.3.2 Useful, 'Unknown', and 'Other' Values for Objects and Attributes
Some attributes have a 'useful' INTEGER32 value, some have a 'useful'
OCTET STRING value, some MAY have either or both depending on
implementation, and some MUST have both. See the JmAttributeTypeTC
textual convention for the specification of each attribute.
SNMP requires that if an object cannot be implemented because its values
cannot be accessed, then a compliant agent SHALL return an SNMP error in
SNMPv1 or an exception value in SNMPv2. However, this MIB has been
designed so that 'all' objects can and SHALL be implemented by an agent,
so that neither the SNMPv1 error nor the SNMPv2 exception value SHALL be
generated by the agent. This MIB has also been designed so that when an
agent materializes an attribute, the agent SHALL materialize a row
consisting of both the jmAttributeValueAsInteger and
jmAttributeValueAsOctets objects.
In general, values for objects and attributes have been chosen so that a
management application will be able to determine whether a 'useful',
'unknown', or 'other' value is available. When a useful value is not
available for an object that agent SHALL return a zero-length string for
octet strings, the value 'unknown(2)' for enums, a '0' value for an
object that represents an index in another table, and a value '-2' for
counting integers.
Since each attribute is represented by a row consisting of both the
jmAttributeValueAsInteger and jmAttributeValueAsOctets MANDATORY
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 22]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
objects, SNMP requires that the agent SHALL always create an attribute
row with both objects specified. However, for most attributes the agent
SHALL return a "useful" value for one of the objects and SHALL return
the 'other' value for the other object. For integer only attributes,
the agent SHALL always return a zero-length string value for the
jmAttributeValueAsOctets object. For octet string only attributes, the
agent SHALL always return a '-1' value for the jmAttributeValueAsInteger
object.
3.3.3 Data Sub-types and Attribute Naming Conventions
Many attributes are sub-typed to give a more specific data sub-type than
Integer32 or OCTET STRING. The data sub-type of each attribute is
indicated on the first line(s) of the description. Some attributes have
several different data sub-type representations. When an attribute has
both an Integer32 data sub-type and an OCTET STRING data sub-type, the
attribute can be represented in a single row in the jmAttributeTable.
In this case, the data sub-type name is not included as the last part of
the name of the attribute, e.g., documentFormat(38) which is both an
enum and/or a name. When the data sub-types cannot be represented by a
single row in the jmAttributeTable, each such representation is
considered a separate attribute and is assigned a separate name and enum
value. For these attributes, the name of the data sub-type is the last
part of the name of the attribute: Name, Index, DateAndTime, TimeStamp,
etc. For example, documentFormatIndex(37) in an index.
NOTE: The Table of Contents also lists the data sub-type and/or data
sub-types of each attribute, using the textual-convention name when such
is defined. The following abbreviations are used in the Table of
Contents as shown:
'Int32(-2..)' Integer32(-2..2147483647)
'Int32(0..)' Integer32(0..2147483647)
'Int32(1..)' Integer32(1..2147483647)
'Int32(m..n)' For all other Integer ranges, the lower
and upper bound of the range is
indicated.
'Octets63' OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
'Octets(m..n)' For all other OCTET STRING ranges, the
exact range is indicated.
3.3.4 Single-Value (Row) Versus Multi-Value (MULTI-ROW) Attributes
Most attributes SHALL have only one row per job. However, a few
attributes can have multiple values per job or even per document, where
each value is a separate row in the jmAttributeTable. Unless indicated
with 'MULTI-ROW:' in JmAttributeTypeTC, an agent SHALL ensure that each
attribute occurs only once in the jmAttributeTable for a job.
Attributes that are permitted to appear multiple times in the
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 23]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
jmAttributeTable for a job are indicated with 'MULTI-ROW:' in their
specification in the JmAttributeTypeTC. However, such 'MULTI-ROW'
attributes SHALL not contain duplicates for 'intensive' (as opposed to
'extensive') attributes.
For example, a job or document(s) may use multiple PDLs. However, each
distinct documentFormat attribute value SHALL appear in the
jmAttributeTable only once for a job since the interpreter language is
an intensive attribute, even though the job has a number of documents
that all use the same PDL.
As another example of an intensive attribute that can have multiple
entries, if a document or job uses multiple types of media, there SHALL
be only one row in the jmAttributeTable for each media type, not one row
for each document that uses that medium type.
On the other hand, if a job contains two documents of the same name,
there can be separate rows for the documentName attribute with the same
name, since a document name is an extensive attribute. The
specification indicates that the values NEED NOT be unique for such
'MULTI-ROW: attributes'
3.3.5 Requested Attributes
A number of attributes record requirements for the job. Such attribute
names end with the word 'Requested'. In the interests of brevity, the
phrase 'requested' SHALL mean: (1) requested by the client (or
intervening server) in the job submission protocol that submitted the
job and MAY also mean (2) embedded in the submitted document data,
and/or (3) defaulted by the recipient device or server with the same
semantics as if the requester had supplied, depending on implementation.
3.3.6 Consumption Attributes
A number of attributes record consumption. Such attribute names end
with the word 'Completed' or 'Consumed'. If the job has not yet
consumed what that resource is metering, the agent either: (1) SHALL
return the value 0 or (2) SHALL not add this attribute to the
jmAttributeTable until the consumption begins. In the interests of
brevity, the semantics for 0 is specified once here and is not repeated
for each consumptive attribute specification.
3.3.7 Index Value Attributes
A number of attributes are indexes in other tables. Such attribute
names end with the word 'Index'. If the agent has not (yet) assigned an
index value for a particular index attribute for a job, the agent SHALL
either: (1) return the value 0 or (2) not add this attribute to the
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 24]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
jmAttributeTable until the index value is assigned. In the interests of
brevity, the semantics for 0 is specified once here and is not repeated
for each index attribute specification.
3.4 Job Identification
There are a number of attributes that permit a user, operator or system
administrator to identify jobs of interest, such as jobName,
jobOriginatingHost, etc. In addition, there is a Job Submission ID
object that allows a monitoring application to quickly locate and
identify a particular job of interest that was submitted from a
particular client by the user invoking the monitoring application. The
Job Monitoring MIB needs to provide for identification of the job at
both sides of the job submission process. The primary identification
point is the client side. The Job Submission ID allows the monitoring
application to identify the job of interest from all the jobs currently
"known" by the server or device. The Job Submission ID can be assigned
by either the client's local system or a downstream server or device.
The point of assignment depends on the job submission protocol in use.
The server/device-side identifier, called the jmJobIndex object, SHALL
be assigned by the SNMP Job Monitoring MIB agent when the server or
device accepts the jobs from submitting clients. The jmJobIndex object
allows the interested party to obtain all objects desired that relate to
this job. The MIB provides a mapping table that maps each Job
Submission ID (generated by the client) to the corresponding jmJobIndex
value generated by the agent, so that an application can determine the
correct value for the jmJobIndex value for the job of interest in a
single Get operation, given the Job Submission ID. See the
jmJobIDGroup.
The jobName attribute provides a name that the user supplies as a job
attribute with the job. The jobName attribute is not necessarily
unique, even for one user, let alone across users.
3.5 Internationalization Considerations
There are a number of objects in this MIB that are represented as coded
character sets with a data type of OCTET STRING. Most of the objects
are supplied as job attributes by the client that submits the job to the
server or device and so are represented in the coded character set
specified by that client.
For simplicity, this specification assumes that the clients, job
monitoring applications, servers, and devices are all running in the
same locale, including locales that use two-octet coded character sets,
such as ISO 10646 (Unicode). Job monitoring applications are expected
to understand the coded character set of the client (and job), server,
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 25]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
or device. No special means is provided for the monitor to discover the
coded character set used by jobs or by the server or device. This
specification does not contain an object that indicates what locale the
server or device is running in, let alone contain an object to control
what locale the agent is to use to represent coded character set
objects.
This MIB also contains objects that are represented using the
DateAndTime textual convention from SMIv2 [SMIv2]. The job management
application SHALL display such objects in the locale of the user running
the monitoring application.
3.6 IANA Considerations
During the development of this standard, the Printer Working Group (PWG)
working with IANA will register additional enums while the standard is
in the proposed and draft states according to the procedures described
in this section. IANA will handle registration of additional enums
after this standard is approved in cooperation with an IANA-appointed
registration editor from the PWG according to the procedures described
in this section:
3.6.1 IANA Registration of enums
This specification uses textual conventions to define enumerated values
(enums) and bit values. Enumerations (enums) and bit values are sets of
symbolic values defined for use with one or more objects or attributes.
All enumeration sets and bit value sets are assigned a symbolic data
type name (textual convention). As a convention the symbolic name ends
in "TC" for textual convention. These enumerations are defined at the
beginning of the MIB module specification.
This working group has defined several type of enumerations for use in
the Job Monitoring MIB and the Printer MIB[print-mib]. These types
differ in the method employed to control the addition of new
enumerations. Throughout this document, references to "type n enum",
where n can be 1, 2 or 3 can be found in the various tables. The
definitions of these types of enumerations are:
3.6.1.1 Type 1 enumerations
Type 1 enumeration: All the values are defined in the Job Monitoring
MIB specification (RFC for the Job Monitoring MIB). Additional
enumerated values require a new RFC.
There are no type 1 enums in the current draft.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 26]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
3.6.1.2 Type 2 enumerations
Type 2 enumeration: An initial set of values are defined in the Job
Monitoring MIB specification. Additional enumerated values are
registered after review by this working group. The initial versions of
the MIB will contain the values registered so far. After the MIB is
approved, additional values will be registered through IANA after
approval by this working group.
The following type 2 enums are contained in the current draft :
1.JmTimeStampTC
2.JmFinishingTC [same enum values as IPP "finishing" attribute]
3.JmPrintQualityTC [same enum values as IPP "print-quality"
attribute]
4.JmTonerEconomyTC
5.JmPrinterResolutionTC [same enum values as IPP "printer-resolution"
attribute]
6.JmMediumTypeTC
7.JmJobSubmissionTypeTC
8.JmJobStateTC [same enum values as IPP "job-state" attribute]
9.JmAttributeTypeTC
Those textual conventions that are labeled "[same enum values as IPP]"
have the same enum values as the indicated IPP Job attribute. When IPP
registers additional values, those values shall be simultaneously
registered by IANA for use with the Job Monitoring MIB textual-
convention, so that the enum values stay in lock step between the IPP
protocol and the Job Monitoring MIB.
3.6.1.3 Type 3 enumeration
Type 3 enumeration: An initial set of values are defined in the Job
Monitoring MIB specification. Additional enumerated values are
registered without working group review. The initial versions of the
MIB will contain the values registered so far. After the MIB is
approved, additional values will be registered through IANA without
approval by this working group.
There are no type 3 enums in the current draft.
3.6.2 IANA Registration of type 2 bit values
This draft contains the following type 2 bit value textual-conventions:
1.JmJobServiceTypesTC
2.JmJobStateReasons1TC
3.JmJobStateReasons2TC
4.JmJobStateReasons3TC
5.JmJobStateReasons4TC
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 27]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
These textual-conventions are defined as bits in an Integer so that they
can be used with SNMPv1 SMI. The jobStateReasonsN (N=1..4) attributes
are defined as bit values using the corresponding JmJobStateReasonsNTC
textual-conventions.
The registration of JmJobServiceTypesTC and JmJobStateReasonsNTC bit
values SHALL follow the procedures for a type 2 enum as specified in
Section 3.6.1.2.
3.6.3 IANA Registration of Job Submission Id Formats
In addition to enums and bit values, this specification assigns a single
ASCII digit or letter to various job submission ID formats. See the
JmJobSubmissionIDTypeTC textual-convention and the object. The
registration of jmJobSubmissionID format numbers SHALL follow the
procedures for a type 2 enum as specified in Section 3.6.1.2.
3.6.4 IANA Registration of MIME types/sub-types for document-formats
The documentFormat(38) attribute has MIME type/sub-type values for
indicating document formats which IANA registers as "media type" names.
The values of the documentFormat(38) attribute are the same as the
corresponding Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) "document-format" Job
attribute values [ipp-model].
3.7 Security Considerations
3.7.1 Read-Write objects
All objects are read-only, greatly simplifying the security
considerations. If another MIB augments this MIB, that MIB might accept
SNMP Write operations to objects in that MIB whose effect is to modify
the values of read-only objects in this MIB. However, that MIB SHALL
have to support the required access control in order to achieve
security, not this MIB.
3.7.2 Read-Only Objects In Other User's Jobs
The security policy of some sites MAY be that unprivileged users can
only get the objects from jobs that they submitted, plus a few minimal
objects from other jobs, such as the jmJobKOctetsRequested and
jmJobKOctetsCompleted objects, so that a user can tell how busy a
printer is. Other sites MAY allow all unprivileged users to see all
objects of all jobs. This MIB does not require, nor does it specify
how, such restrictions would be implemented. A monitoring application
SHOULD enforce the site security policy with respect to returning
information to an unprivileged end user that is using the monitoring
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 28]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
application to monitor jobs that do not belong to that user, i.e., the
jmJobOwner object in the jmJobTable does not match the user's user name.
An operator is a privileged user that would be able to see all objects
of all jobs, independent of the policy for unprivileged users.
3.8 Notifications
This MIB does not specify any notifications. For simplicity, management
applications are expected to poll for status. The
jmGeneralJobPersistence and jmGeneralAttributePersistence objects assist
an application to determine the polling rate. The resulting network
traffic is not expected to be significant.
4. MIB specification

100ths of seconds, so as to be simpler for agents to implement
(even if they have to implement the 100ths of a second to comply
with implementing sysUpTime in MIB-II[mib-II].)
NOTE - JmTimeStampTC is defined as an Integer32 so that it can
be used as a value of an attribute, i.e., as a value of the
jmAttributeValueAsInteger object. The TimeStamp textual-
convention defined in SMNPv2-TC is defined as an APPLICATION 3
IMPLICIT INTEGER tag, not an Integer32, so cannot be used in
this MIB as one of the values of jmAttributeValueAsInteger."

JmJobSubmissionTypeTC ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"Identifies the format type of a job submission ID.
The ASCII characters '0-9', 'A-Z', and 'a-z' are assigned in
order giving 62 possible formats.
Each job submission ID is a fixed-length, 48-octet printable
ASCII coded character string, consisting of the following
fields:
octet 1 The format letter.
octets 2-40 A 39-character, ASCII trailing SPACE filled
field specified by the format letter, if the
data is less than 39 ASCII characters.
octets 41-48 A sequential or random number to make the ID
quasi-unique.
If the client does not supply a job submission ID in the job
submission protocol, then the server SHALL assign a job
submission ID using any of the standard formats and adding the
final 8 octets to distinguish the ID from others submitted from
the same client.
The format values registered so far are:
Format
Letter Description
------ ------------
'0' octets 2-40: last 39 bytes of the jmJobOwner
object.
octets 41-48: 8-decimal-digit sequential number
'1' octets 2-40: last 39 bytes of the jobName attribute.
octets 41-48: 8-decimal-digit random number
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 38]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
'2' octets 2-40: Client MAC address: in hexadecimal
with each nibble of the 6 octet address being
'0'-'9' or 'A' - 'F' (uppercase only).
Most significant octet first.
octets 41-48: 8-decimal-digit sequential number
'3' octets 2-40: last 39 bytes of the client URL
[URI-spec].
octets 41-48: 8-decimal-digit sequential number
'4' octets 2-40: last 39 bytes of the URI [URI-spec]
assigned by the server or device to the job when
the job was submitted for processing.
octets 41-48: 8-decimal-digit sequential number
'5' octets 2-40: last 39 bytes of a user number, such
as POSIX user number.
octets 41-48: 8-decimal-digit sequential number
'6' octets 2-40: last 39 bytes of the user account
number.
octets 41-48: 8-decimal-digit sequential number
'7' octets 2-40: last 39 bytes of the DTMF incoming
FAX routing number.
octets 41-48: 8-decimal-digit sequential number
NOTE - the job submission id is only intended to be unique
between a limited set of clients for a limited duration of time,
namely, for the life time of the job in the context of the
server or device that is processing the job. Some of the
formats include something that is unique per client and a random
number so that the same job submitted by the same client will
have a different job submission id. For other formats, where
part of the id is guaranteed to be unique for each client, such
as the MAC address or URL, a sequential number SHOULD suffice
for each client (and may be easier for each client to manage).
Therefore, the length of the job submission id has been selected
to reduce the probability of collision to an extremely low
number, but is not intended to be an absolute guarantee of
uniqueness. None-the-less, collisions are remotely possible,
but without bad consequences, since this MIB is intended to be
used only for monitoring jobs, not for controlling and managing
them."

Figure 4 - Normal Job State Transitions
Normally a job progresses from left to right. Other state
transitions are unlikely, but are not forbidden. Not shown are
the transitions to the canceled state from the pending,
pendingHeld, processing, and processingStopped states.
Jobs in the pending, processing, and processingStopped states
are called 'active', while jobs in the pendingHeld, canceled,
aborted, and completed are called 'inactive'.
These values are the same as the enum values of the IPP 'job-
state' job attribute. See Section 3.6.1.2.
other(1),
The job state is not one of the defined states.
unknown(2),
The job state is not known, or its state is indeterminate.
pending(3),
The job is a candidate to start processing, but is not yet
processing.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 40]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
pendingHeld(4),
The job is not a candidate for processing for any number of
reasons but will return to the pending state as soon as the
reasons are no longer present. The job's jmJobStateReasons1
object and/or jobStateReasonsN (N=2..4) attributes SHALL
indicate why the job is no longer a candidate for
processing. The reasons are represented as bits in the
jmJobStateReasons1 object and/or jobStateReasonsN (N=2..4)
attributes. See the JmJobStateReasonsNTC (N=1..4) textual
convention for the specification of each reason.
processing(5),
Either:
1. The job is using, or is attempting to use, one or more
document transforms which include (1) purely software
processes that are interpreting a PDL, and (2) hardware
devices that are interpreting a PDL, making marks on a
medium, and/or performing finishing, such as stapling, etc.
OR
2. (configuration 2) the server has made the job ready for
printing, but the output device is not yet printing it,
either because the job hasn't reached the output device or
because the job is queued in the output device or some other
spooler, awaiting the output device to print it.
When the job is in the processing state, the entire job
state includes the detailed status represented in the device
MIB indicated by the hrDeviceIndex value of the job's
physicalDevice attribute, if the agent implements such a
device MIB.
Implementations MAY, though they NEED NOT, include
additional values in the job's jmJobStateReasons1 object to
indicate the progress of the job, such as adding the
jobPrinting value to indicate when the device is actually
making marks on a medium.
processingStopped(6),
The job has stopped while processing for any number of
reasons and will return to the processing state as soon as
the reasons are no longer present.
The job's jmJobStateReasons1 object and/or the job's
jobStateReasonsN (N=2..4) attributes MAY indicate why the
job has stopped processing. For example, if the output
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 41]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
device is stopped, the deviceStopped value MAY be included
in the job's jmJobStateReasons1 object.
NOTE - When an output device is stopped, the device usually
indicates its condition in human readable form at the
device. The management application can obtain more complete
device status remotely by querying the appropriate device
MIB using the job's deviceIndex attribute(s), if the agent
implements such a device MIB
canceled(7),
A client has canceled the job and the job is either: (1) in
the process of being terminated by the server or device or
(2) has completed terminating. The job's jmJobStateReasons1
object SHOULD contain either the canceledByUser or
canceledByOperator value.
aborted(8),
The job has been aborted by the system, usually while the
job was in the processing or processingStopped state.
completed(9)
The job has completed successfully or with warnings or
errors after processing and all of the media have been
successfully stacked in the appropriate output bin(s). The
job's jmJobStateReasons1 object SHOULD contain one of:
completedSuccessfully, completedWithWarnings, or
completedWithErrors values."

DESCRIPTION
"The type of the attribute which identifies the attribute.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 42]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
In the following definitions of the enums, each description
indicates whether the useful value of the attribute SHALL be
represented using the jmAttributeValueAsInteger or the
jmAttributeValueAsOctets objects by the initial tag: 'INTEGER:'
or 'OCTETS:', respectively.
Some attributes allow the agent implementer a choice of useful
values of either an integer, an octets representation, or both,
depending on implementation. These attributes are indicated
with 'INTEGER:' AND/OR 'OCTETS:' tags.
A very few attributes require both objects at the same time to
represent a pair of useful values (see mediumConsumed(171)).
These attributes are indicated with 'INTEGER:' AND 'OCTETS:'
tags. See the jmAttributeGroup for the descriptions of these
two MANDATORY objects.
NOTE - The enum assignments are grouped logically with values
assigned in groups of 20, so that additional values may be
registered in the future and assigned a value that is part of
their logical grouping.
NOTE: No attribute name exceeds 31 characters.
In the following descriptions of each attribute, the tags:
'INTEGER:' or 'OCTETS:' specify whether the value SHALL be
represented in the jmAttributeValueAsInteger or the
jmAttributeValueAsOctets object, or both, respectively.
The standard attribute types defined so far are:

of processing log to show progress and any problems.
There is no restriction for the same message to occur in
multiple rows.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ Job Identification attributes
+
+ The following attributes help an end user, a system

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
jobAccountName(21), OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
OCTETS: Arbitrary binary information which MAY be coded
character set data or encrypted data supplied by the
submitting user for use by accounting services to allocate
or categorize charges for services provided, such as a
customer account name or number.
NOTE: This attribute NEED NOT be printable characters.
serverAssignedJobName(22), OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
OCTETS: Configuration 3 only: The human readable string
name, number, or ID of the job as assigned by the server
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 44]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
that submitted the job to the device that the agent is
providing access to with this MIB.
NOTE - This attribute is intended for enabling a user to
find his/her job that a server submitted to a device when
either the client does not support the jmJobSubmissionID or
the server does not pass the jmJobSubmissionID through to
the device.
jobName(23), OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
OCTETS: The human readable string name of the job as
assigned by the submitting user to help the user distinguish
between his/her various jobs. This name does not need to be
unique.
This attribute is intended for enabling a user or the user's
application to convey a job name that MAY be printed on a
start sheet, returned in a query result, or used in
notification or logging messages.
In order to assist users to find their jobs for job
submission protocols that don't supply a jmJobSubmissionID,
the agent SHOULD maintain the jobName attribute for the time
specified by the jmGeneralJobPersistence object, rather than
the (shorter) jmGeneralAttributePersistence object.
If this attribute is not specified when the job is
submitted, no job name is assumed, but implementation
specific defaults are allowed, such as the value of the
documentName attribute of the first document in the job or
the fileName attribute of the first document in the job.
The jobName attribute is distinguished from the jobComment
attribute, in that the jobName attribute is intended to
permit the submitting user to distinguish between different
jobs that he/she has submitted. The jobComment attribute is
intended to be free form additional information that a user
might wish to use to communicate with himself/herself, such
as a reminder of what to do with the results or to indicate
a different set of input parameters were tried in several
different job submissions.
jobServiceTypes(24), JmJobServiceTypesTC
INTEGER: Specifies the type(s) of service to which the job
has been submitted (print, fax, scan, etc.). The service
type is bit encoded with each job service type so that more
general and arbitrary services can be created, such as
services with more than one destination type, or ones with
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 45]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
only a source or only a destination. For example, a job
service might scan, faxOut, and print a single job. In this
case, three bits would be set in the jobServiceTypes
attribute, corresponding to the hexadecimal values: 0x8 +
0x20 + 0x4, respectively, yielding: 0x2C.
Whether this attribute is set from a job attribute supplied
by the job submission client or is set by the recipient job
submission server or device depends on the job submission
protocol. This attribute SHALL be implemented if the server
or device has other types in addition to or instead of
printing.
One of the purposes of this attribute is to permit a
requester to filter out jobs that are not of interest. For
example, a printer operator may only be interested in jobs
that include printing.
jobSourceChannelIndex(25), Integer32(0..2147483647)
INTEGER: The index of the row in the associated Printer
MIB[print-mib] of the channel which is the source of the
print job.
jobSourcePlatformType(26), JmJobSourcePlatformTypeTC
INTEGER: The source platform type of the immediate upstream
submitter that submitted the job to the server
(configuration 2) or device (configuration 1 and 3) to which
the agent is providing access. For configuration 1, this is
the type of the client that submitted the job to the device;
for configuration 2, this is the type of the client that
submitted the job to the server; and for configuration 3,
this is the type of the server that submitted the job to the
device.
submittingServerName(27), OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
OCTETS: For configuration 3 only: The administrative name
of the server that submitted the job to the device.
submittingApplicationName(28), OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
OCTETS: The name of the client application (not the server
in configuration 3) that submitted the job to the server or
device.
jobOriginatingHost(29), OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
OCTETS: The name of the client host (not the server host
name in configuration 3) that submitted the job to the
server or device.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 46]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
deviceNameRequested(30), OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
OCTETS: The administratively defined coded character set
name of the target device requested by the submitting user.
For configuration 1, its value corresponds to the Printer
MIB[print-mib]: prtGeneralPrinterName object. For
configuration 2 and 3, its value is the name of the logical
or physical device that the user supplied to indicate to the
server on which device(s) they wanted the job to be
processed.
queueNameRequested(31), OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
OCTETS: The administratively defined coded character set
name of the target queue requested by the submitting user.
For configuration 1, its value corresponds to the queue in
the device for which the agent is providing access. For
configuration 2 and 3, its value is the name of the queue
that the user supplied to indicate to the server on which
device(s) they wanted the job to be processed.
NOTE - typically an implementation SHOULD support either the
deviceNameRequested or queueNameRequested attribute, but not
both.
physicalDevice(32), hrDeviceIndex (see HR MIB)
AND/OR
OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
INTEGER: MULTI-ROW: The index of the physical device MIB
instance requested/used, such as the Printer MIB[print-mib].
This value is an hrDeviceIndex value. See the Host
Resources MIB[hr-mib].
AND/OR
OCTETS: MULTI-ROW: The name of the physical device to
which the job is assigned.
numberOfDocuments(33), Integer32(-2..2147483647)
INTEGER: The number of documents in this job.
fileName(34), OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
OCTETS: MULTI-ROW: The coded character set file name or
URI[URI-spec] of the document.
There is no restriction on the same file name in multiple
rows.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 47]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
documentName(35), OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
OCTETS: MULTI-ROW: The coded character set name of the

There is no restriction on the same document name in
multiple rows.
jobComment(36), OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
OCTETS: An arbitrary human-readable coded character text
string supplied by the submitting user or the job submitting
application program for any purpose. For example, a user
might indicate what he/she is going to do with the printed
output or the job submitting application program might
indicate how the document was produced.
The jobComment attribute is not intended to be a name; see
the jobName attribute.
documentFormatIndex(37), Integer32(0..2147483647)
INTEGER: MULTI-ROW: The index in the prtInterpreterTable

language (PDL) or control language interpreter that this job
requires/uses. A document or a job MAY use more than one
PDL or control language.
NOTE - As with all intensive attributes where multiple rows
are allowed, there SHALL be only one distinct row for each
distinct interpreter; there SHALL be no duplicates.
NOTE - This attribute type is intended to be used with an
agent that implements the Printer MIB and SHALL not be used
if the agent does not implement the Printer MIB. Such an
agent SHALL use the documentFormat attribute instead.

+ Job Parameter attributes
+
+ The following attributes represent input parameters
+ supplied by the submitting client in the job submission
+ protocol.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
jobPriority(50), Integer32(1..100)
INTEGER: The priority for scheduling the job. It is used by
servers and devices that employ a priority-based scheduling
algorithm.
A higher value specifies a higher priority. The value 1 is
defined to indicate the lowest possible priority (a job
which a priority-based scheduling algorithm SHALL pass over
in favor of higher priority jobs). The value 100 is defined
to indicate the highest possible priority. Priority is
expected to be evenly or 'normally' distributed across this
range. The mapping of vendor-defined priority over this
range is implementation-specific.
jobProcessAfterDateAndTime(51), DateAndTime (SNMPv2-TC)
OCTETS: The calendar date and time of day after which the
job SHALL become a candidate to be scheduled for processing.
If the value of this attribute is in the future, the server
SHALL set the value of the job's jmJobState object to
pendingHeld and add the jobProcessAfterSpecified bit value
to the job's jmJobStateReasons1 object. When the specified
date and time arrives, the server SHALL remove the
jobProcessAfterSpecified bit value from the job's
jmJobStateReasons1 object and, if no other reasons remain,
SHALL change the job's jmJobState object to pending.
jobHold(52), JmBooleanTC
INTEGER: If the value is 'true(4)', a client has explicitly
specified that the job is to be held until explicitly
released. Until the job is explicitly released by a client,
the job SHALL be in the pendingHeld state with the
jobHoldSpecified value in the jmJobStateReasons1 attribute.
jobHoldUntil(53), OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))
OCTETS: The named time period during which the job SHALL
become a candidate for processing, such as 'no-hold',
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 49]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
'evening', 'night', 'weekend', 'second-shift', 'third-
shift', etc., as defined by the system administrator. Until
that time period arrives, the job SHALL be in the
pendingHeld state with the jobHoldUntilSpecified value in
the jmJobStateReasons1 object.
outputBin(54), Integer32(0..2147483647)
AND/OR
OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..63))

requested. If there are documents A, B, and C, and document
B is specified to produce 4 copies, the number of document
copies requested is 6 for the job.
This attribute SHALL be used only when a job has multiple
documents. The jobCopiesRequested attribute SHALL be used
when the job has only one document.
documentCopiesCompleted(93), Integer32(-2..2147483647)
INTEGER: The total count of the number of document copies
completed so far for the job as a whole. If there are
documents A, B, and C, and document B is specified to
produce 4 copies, the number of document copies starts a 0
and runs up to 6 for the job as the job processes.
This attribute SHALL be used only when a job has multiple
documents. The jobCopiesCompleted attribute SHALL be used
when the job has only one document.
jobKOctetsTransferred(94), Integer32(-2..2147483647)
INTEGER: The number of K (1024) octets transferred to the
server or device to which the agent is providing access.
This count is independent of the number of copies of the job
or documents that will be produced, but it is only a measure
of the number of bytes transferred to the server or device.
The agent SHALL round the actual number of octets
transferred up to the next higher K. Thus 0 octets SHALL be
represented as '0', 1-1024 octets SHALL BE represented as
'1', 1025-2048 SHALL be '2', etc. When the job completes,
the values of the jmJobKOctetsRequested object and the
jobKOctetsTransferred attribute SHALL be equal.
NOTE - The jobKOctetsTransferred can be used with the
jmJobKOctetsRequested object in order to produce a relative
indication of the progress of the job for agents that do not
implement the jmJobKOctetsProcessed object.

+ Impression attributes
+
+ For a print job, an impression is the marking of the
+ entire side of a sheet. Two-sided processing involves two

JmJobServiceTypesTC ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"Specifies the type(s) of service to which the job has been
submitted (print, fax, scan, etc.). The service type is
represented as an enum that is bit encoded with each job service
type so that more general and arbitrary services can be created,
such as services with more than one destination type, or ones
with only a source or only a destination. For example, a job
service might scan, faxOut, and print a single job. In this
case, three bits would be set in the jobServiceTypes attribute,
corresponding to the hexadecimal values: 0x8 + 0x20 + 0x4,
respectively, yielding: 0x2C.
Whether this attribute is set from a job attribute supplied by
the job submission client or is set by the recipient job
submission server or device depends on the job submission
protocol. With either implementation, the agent SHALL return a
non-zero value for this attribute indicating the type of the
job.
One of the purposes of this attribute is to permit a requester
to filter out jobs that are not of interest. For example, a
printer operator MAY only be interested in jobs that include
printing. That is why the attribute is in the job
identification category.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 59]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
The following service component types are defined (in
hexadecimal) and are assigned a separate bit value for use with
the jobServiceTypes attribute:
other 0x1
The job contains some instructions that are not one of the
identified types.
unknown 0x2
The job contains some instructions whose type is unknown to
the agent.
print 0x4
The job contains some instructions that specify printing
scan 0x8
The job contains some instructions that specify scanning
faxIn 0x10
The job contains some instructions that specify receive fax
faxOut 0x20
The job contains some instructions that specify sending fax
getFile 0x40
The job contains some instructions that specify accessing
files or documents
putFile 0x80
The job contains some instructions that specify storing
files or documents
mailList 0x100
The job contains some instructions that specify distribution
of documents using an electronic mail system."
REFERENCE
"These bit definitions are the equivalent of a type 2 enum
except that combinations of them MAY be used together. See
section 3.6.1.2."

JmJobStateReasons1TC ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The JmJobStateReasonsNTC (N=1..4) textual-conventions are used
with the jmJobStateReasons1 object and jobStateReasonsN
(N=2..4), respectively, to provides additional information
regarding the current jmJobState object value. These values MAY
be used with any job state or states for which the reason makes
sense.
NOTE - While values cannot be added to the jmJobState object
without impacting deployed clients that take actions upon
receiving jmJobState values, it is the intent that additional
JmJobStateReasonsNTC enums can be defined and registered without
impacting such deployed clients. In other words, the
jmJobStateReasons1 object and jobStateReasonsN attributes are
intended to be extensible.
NOTE - The Job Monitoring MIB contains a superset of the IPP
values[ipp-model] for the IPP 'job-state-reasons' attribute,
since the Job Monitoring MIB is intended to cover other job
submission protocols as well. Also some of the names of the
reasons have been changed from 'printer' to 'device', since the
Job Monitoring MIB is intended to cover additional types of
devices, including input devices, such as scanners.
The following standard values are defined (in hexadecimal) as
powers of two, since multiple values MAY be used at the same
time. For ease of understanding, the JmJobStateReasons1TC
reasons are presented in the order in which the reason is most
likely to occur, not counting the 'other' and 'unknown' reasons.
other 0x1
The job state reason is not one of the standardized or
registered reasons.
unknown 0x2
The job state reason is not known to the agent or is
indeterminent.
jobIncoming 0x4
The job has been accepted by the server or device, but the
server or device is expecting (1) additional operations from
the client to finish creating the job and/or (2) is
accessing/accepting document data.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 61]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
jobOutgoing 0x8
Configuration 2 only: The server is transmitting the job to
the device.
jobHoldSpecified 0x10
The value of the job's jobHold(52) attribute is TRUE. The
job SHALL NOT be a candidate for processing until this
reason is removed and there are no other reasons to hold the
job.
jobHoldUntilSpecified 0x20
The value of the job's jobHoldUntil(53) attribute specifies
a time period that is still in the future. The job SHALL
NOT be a candidate for processing until this reason is
removed and there are no other reasons to hold the job.
jobProcessAfterSpecified 0x40
The value of the job's jobProcessAfterDateAndTime(51)
attribute specifies a time that is still in the future,
either set when the job was created or subsequently by an
explicit modify job operation. The job SHALL NOT be a
candidate for processing until this reason is removed and
there are no other reasons to hold the job.
resourcesAreNotReady 0x80
At least one of the resources needed by the job, such as
media, fonts, resource objects, etc., is not ready on any of
the physical devices for which the job is a candidate. This
condition MAY be detected when the job is accepted, or
subsequently while the job is pending or processing,
depending on implementation.
deviceStoppedPartly 0x100
One or more, but not all, of the devices to which the job is
assigned are stopped. If all of the devices are stopped (or
the only device is stopped), the deviceStopped reason SHALL
be used.
deviceStopped 0x200
The device(s) to which the job is assigned is (are all)
stopped.
jobPrinting 0x400
The output device is marking media. This attribute is useful
for servers and output devices which spend a great deal of
time processing when no marking is happening and then want
to show that marking is now happening or when the job is in
the canceled or aborted state, but the marking has not yet
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 62]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
stopped so that impression or sheet counts are still
increasing for the job.
jobCanceledByUser 0x800
The job was canceled by the user, i.e., by an unknown user
or by a user whose name is the same as the value of the
job's jmJobOwner object.
jobCanceledByOperator 0x1000
The job was canceled by the operator, i.e., by a user whose
name is different than the value of the job's jmJobOwner
object.
abortedBySystem 0x2000
The job was aborted by the system.
NOTE - this reason is needed only when the system aborts a
job, but does not put the job in the aborted job state. For
example, if the system aborts the job, but places the job in
the pendingHeld state, so that a user or operator can try
the job again.
jobCompletedSuccessfully 0x4000
The job completed successfully.
jobCompletedWithWarnings 0x8000
The job completed with warnings.
jobCompletedWithErrors 0x10000
The job completed with errors (and possibly warnings too).
The following additional job state reasons have been added
to represent job states that are in ISO DPA[iso-dpa] and
other job submission protocols:
jobPaused 0x20000
The job has been indefinitely suspended by a client issuing
an operation to suspend the job so that other jobs may
proceed using the same devices. The client MAY issue an
operation to resume the paused job at any time, in which
case the agent SHALL remove the jobPaused values from the
job's jmJobStateReasons1 object and the job is eventually
resumed at or near the point where the job was paused.
jobInterrupted 0x40000
The job has been interrupted while processing by a client
issuing an operation that specifies another job to be run
instead of the current job. The server or device will
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 63]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
automatically resume the interrupted job when the
interrupting job completes.
jobRetained 0x80000
The job is being retained by the server or device with all
of the job's document data (and submitted resources, such as
fonts, logos, and forms, if any). Thus a client could issue
an operation to the server or device to either (1) re-do the

DESCRIPTION
"This textual-convention is used with the jobStateReasons2
attribute to provides additional information regarding the
jmJobState object. See the description under
JmJobStateReasons1TC for additional information that applies to
all reasons.
The following standard values are defined (in hexadecimal) as
powers of two, since multiple values may be used at the same
time:
cascaded 0x1
An outbound gateway has transmitted all of the job's job and
document attributes and data to another spooling system.
deletedByAdministrator 0x2
The administrator has deleted the job.
discardTimeArrived 0x4
The job has been deleted due to the fact that the time
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 64]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
specified by the job's job-discard-time attribute has
arrived.
postProcessingFailed 0x8
The post-processing agent failed while trying to log
accounting attributes for the job; therefore the job has
been placed into the completed state with the jobRetained
jmJobStateReasons1 object value for a system-defined period
of time, so the administrator can examine it, resubmit it,
etc.
submissionInterrupted 0x10
Indicates that the job was not completely submitted for some
unforeseen reason, such as: (1) the server has crashed
before the job was closed by the client, (2) the server or
the document transfer method has crashed in some non-
recoverable way before the document data was entirely
transferred to the server, (3) the client crashed or failed
to close the job before the time-out period.
maxJobFaultCountExceeded 0x20
The job has faulted several times and has exceeded the
administratively defined fault count limit.
devicesNeedAttentionTimeOut 0x40
One or more document transforms that the job is using needs
human intervention in order for the job to make progress,
but the human intervention did not occur within the site-
settable time-out value.
needsKeyOperatorTimeOut 0x80
One or more devices or document transforms that the job is
using need a specially trained operator (who may need a key
to unlock the device and gain access) in order for the job
to make progress, but the key operator intervention did not
occur within the site-settable time-out value.
jobStartWaitTimeOut 0x100
The server/device has stopped the job at the beginning of
processing to await human action, such as installing a
special cartridge or special non-standard media, but the job
was not resumed within the site-settable time-out value and
the server/device has transitioned the job to the
pendingHeld state.
jobEndWaitTimeOut 0x200
The server/device has stopped the job at the end of
processing to await human action, such as removing a special
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 65]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
cartridge or restoring standard media, but the job was not
resumed within the site-settable time-out value and the
server/device has transitioned the job to the completed
state.
jobPasswordWaitTimeOut 0x400
The server/device has stopped the job at the beginning of
processing to await input of the job's password, but the
password was not received within the site-settable time-out
value.
deviceTimedOut 0x800
A device that the job was using has not responded in a
period specified by the device's site-settable attribute.
connectingToDeviceTimeOut 0x1000
The server is attempting to connect to one or more devices
which may be dial-up, polled, or queued, and so may be busy
with traffic from other systems, but server was unable to
connect to the device within the site-settable time-out
value.
transferring 0x2000
The job is being transferred to a down stream server or
device.
queuedInDevice 0x4000
The job has been queued in a down stream server or device.
jobCleanup 0x8000
The server/device is performing cleanup activity as part of
ending normal processing.
processingToStopPoint 0x10000
The requester has issued an operation to interrupt the job
and the server/device is processing up until the specified
stop point occurs.
jobPasswordWait 0x20000
The server/device has selected the job to be next to
process, but instead of assigning resources and starting the
job processing, the server/device has transitioned the job
to the pendingHeld state to await entry of a password (and
dispatched another job, if there is one).
validating 0x40000
The server/device is validating the job after accepting the
job.
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 66]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
queueHeld 0x80000
The operator has held the entire job set or queue.
jobProofWait 0x100000
The job has produced a single proof copy and is in the
pendingHeld state waiting for the requester to issue an
operation to release the job to print normally, obeying any
job and document copy attributes that were originally
submitted.
heldForDiagnostics 0x200000
The system is running intrusive diagnostics, so that all
jobs are being held.
serviceOffLine 0x400000
The service/document transform is off-line and accepting no
jobs. All pending jobs are put into the pendingHeld state.
This could be true if its input is impaired or broken.
noSpaceOnServer 0x800000
There is no room on the server to store all of the job.
pinRequired 0x1000000
The System Administrator settable device policy is (1) to
require PINs, and (2) to hold jobs that do not have a pin
supplied as an input parameter when the job was created.
exceededAccountLimit 0x2000000
The account for which this job is drawn has exceeded its
limit. This condition SHOULD be detected before the job is
scheduled so that the user does not wait until his/her job
is scheduled only to find that the account is overdrawn.
This condition MAY also occur while the job is processing
either as processing begins or part way through processing.
heldForRetry 0x4000000
The job encountered some errors that the server/device could
not recover from with its normal retry procedures, but the
error might not be encountered if the job is re-tried in the
future, such as phone number busy or remote file system in-
accessible. For such a situation, the server/device SHALL
transition the job from the processing to the pendingHeld,
rather than to the aborted state.
The following values are from the X/Open PSIS draft standard:
Bergman, Hastings, Isaacson, Lewis [Page 67]
Job Monitoring MIB, V0.83 July 14, 1997
canceledByShutdown 0x8000000
The job was canceled because the server or device was
shutdown before completing the job.
deviceUnavailable 0x10000000
This job was aborted by the system because the device is
currently unable to accept jobs.
wrongDevice 0x20000000
This job was aborted by the system because the device is
unable to handle this particular job; the spooler SHOULD try
another device or the user should submit the job to another
device.
badJob 0x40000000
This job was aborted by the system because this job has a
major problem, such as an ill-formed PDL; the spooler SHOULD
not even try another device. "

"Attributes representing information about the job and

Each entry in the jmAttributeTable is a per-job entry with an
extra index for each type of attribute (jmAttributeTypeIndex)
that a job can have and an additional index
(jmAttributeInstanceIndex) for those attributes that can have
multiple instances per job. The jmAttributeTypeIndex object
SHALL contain an enum type that indicates the type of attribute
(see the JmAttributeTypeTC textual-convention). The value of
the attribute SHALL be represented in either the
jmAttributeValueAsInteger or jmAttributeValueAsOctets objects,
and/or both, as specified in the JmAttributeTypeTC textual-
convention.
The agent SHALL create rows in the jmAttributeTable as the
server or device is able to discover the attributes either from
the job submission protocol itself or from the document PDL. As
the documents are interpreted, the interpreter MAY discover
additional attributes and so the agent adds additional rows to
this table. As the attributes that represent resources are
actually consumed, the usage counter contained in the
jmAttributeValueAsInteger object is incremented according to the
units indicated in the description of the JmAttributeTypeTC
enum.

DESCRIPTION
"The integer value of the attribute. The value of the attribute

'INTEGER:'.
Depending on the enum definition, this object value MAY be an
integer, a counter, an index, or an enum, depending on the
jmAttributeTypeIndex value. The units of this value are
specified in the enum description.
For those attributes that are accumulating job consumption as
the job is processed as specified in the JmAttributeTypeTC
textual-convention, SHALL contain the final value after the job
completes processing, i.e., this value SHALL indicate the total
usage of this resource made by the job.
A monitoring application is able to copy this value to a
suitable longer term storage for later processing as part of an
accounting system.
Since the agent MAY add attributes representing resources to
this table while the job is waiting to be processed or being
processed, which can be a long time before any of the resources
are actually used, the agent SHALL set the value of the
jmAttributeValueAsInteger object to 0 for resources that the job
has not yet consumed.
Attributes for which the concept of an integer value is
meaningless, such as fileName, interpreter, and physicalDevice,
do not have the 'INTEGER:' tag in the JmAttributeTypeTC
definition and so an agent SHALL always return a value of '-1'
to indicate 'other' for jmAttributeValueAsInteger.

known, the agent either SHALL not materialize the row in the

as DateAndTime.
Attributes for which the concept of an octet string value is

'OCTETS:' in the JmAttributeTypeTC definition and so the agent
SHALL always return a zero length string for the value of the

5. Appendix A - Implementing the Job Life Cycle
The job object has well-defined states and client operations that affect
the transition between the job states. Internal server and device
actions also affect the transitions of the job between the job states.
These states and transitions are referred to as the job's life cycle.
Not all implementations of job submission protocols have all of the
states of the job model specified here. The job model specified here is
intended to be a superset of most implementations. It is the purpose of
the agent to map the particular implementation's job life cycle onto the
one specified here. The agent MAY omit any states not implemented.
Only the processing and completed states are required to be implemented
by an agent. However, a conforming management application SHALL be
prepared to accept any of the states in the job life cycle specified
here, so that the management application can interoperate with any
conforming agent.
The job states are intended to be user visible. The agent SHALL make
these states visible in the MIB, but only for the subset of job states
that the implementation has. Some implementations MAY need to have sub-
states of these user-visible states. The jmJobStateReasons1 object and
the jobStateReasonsN (N=2..4) attributes can be used to represent the
sub-states of the jobs.
Job states are intended to last a user-visible length of time in most
implementations. However, some jobs may pass through some states in
zero time in some situations and/or in some implementations.
The job model does not specify how accounting and auditing is
implemented, except to assume that accounting and auditing logs are
separate from the job life cycle and last longer than job entries in the
MIB. Jobs in the completed, aborted, or canceled states are not logs,
since jobs in these states are accessible via SNMP protocol operations
and SHALL be removed from the Job Monitoring MIB tables after a site-
settable or implementation-defined period of time. An accounting
application MAY copy accounting information incrementally to an
accounting log as a job processes, or MAY be copied while the job is in
the canceled, aborted, or completed states, depending on implementation.
The same is true for auditing logs.
The jmJobState object specifies the standard job states. The normal job
state transitions are shown in the state transition diagram presented in
Table 1.

6. APPENDIX B - Support of the Job Submission ID in Job Submission
Protocols
This appendix lists the job submission protocols that support the
concept of a job submission ID and indicates the attribute used in that
job submission protocol.
6.1 Hewlett-Packard's Printer Job Language (PJL)
Hewlett-Packard's Printer Job Language provides job-level printer
control and printer status information to applications. The PJL JOB
command is used at the beginning of a print job and can include options
applying only to that job. A PJL JOB command option has been defined to
facilitate passing the JobSubmissionID with the print job, as required
by the Job Monitoring MIB. The option is of the form:
SUBMISSIONID = "id string"
Where the "id string" is a string and SHALL be enclosed in double
quotes. The format is as described for the jmJobSubmissionID object.
The entire PJL JOB command with the optional parameter would be of the
form:
@PJL JOB SUBMISSIONID = "id string"
See "Printer Job Language Technical Reference Manual", part number 5021-
0328, from Hewlett-Packard for complete information on the PJL JOB
command and the Printer Job Language.
6.2 ISO DPA
The ISO 10175 Document Printing Application (DPA) protocol specifies the
"job-client-id" attribute that allows the client to supply a text string
ID for each job.
