Greetings.


There are two issues related to printer-uri and job-uri that need 
some clarifications.


Issue1:
  In the IPP Model document, there is no specification for the
  value-tags of "printer-uri" and "job-uri" attributes in a IPP
  request.


  According to the IPP Model document, section 3.1.3, the
  "printer-uri" attribute contains the Printer object's URIs
  which is one of the values in the Printer object's "printer-
  uri-supported" attribute.  This implies that the value-tag
  of "printer-uri" attribute must be of type "uri".  Similarly,
  the value-tag of "job-uri" attribute should be "uri" as well.




Issue 2:
  In the "Note:" section of 3.2.1.1 in the IPP Model document,
  it was mentioned that "The simplest Print-Job Request
  consists of just the Document Content, the "attributes-
  charset" and "attributes-natural-language" operation
  attributes, and nothing else."  However, in the description
  of Print-Job Request of section 15.3.4.3, the "printer-uri"
  attribute is specified as a MUST (indicated by (M)) and also
  in section 3.1.3 of the same document, it was indicated that
  either "printer-uri" or "job-uri" MUST appear in every
  operation request.  There seems to be some inconsistency here.
