Hi folks,

I posted Tom's Acrobat (PDF) file to the requested URL:

ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/fsg/spool/IPP-Object-Attributes.pdf

After six tries, I still can't FTP transfer the (large) MS Word
source file to the PWG server without the PWG server dropping
the connection before it completes.  No matter - the PDF file
should be used for comments anyway.

Cheers,

I misspelled the spool and cap DLs.  Sorry for the resend.

Alan,

Chapter 9 of the FSG Print API (PAPI) spec, version V0.4 
(ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/fsg/spool/papi_v0.4.pdf)
has the following:

Chapter 9. Attributes 
* ISSUE: Waiting for reference to single document from Tom H. 

I assume that this PAPI reference should be to a short document that lists
all attributes and points to the specifications where they are described in
detail, right?

ISSUE:  We need to discuss whether this short document should be to the PWG
Semantic Model or to a more IPP specific document which contains references
to all of the IPP attributes with the same IPP spellings and attribute
syntaxes.

I'm also copying this mail note to the FSG jobticket mailing list, since the
job ticket API should provide mappings to the appropriate Job and Document
attributes in the attached document.

I'm also copying this mail note to the FSG cap (capabilities) mailing list,
since the Capabilities API should provide mappings to the appropriate
Printer attributes in the attached document.


To see a draft of the PWG Semantic Model see:  

See ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/Semantic_model/PWG-Semantic-Mode-06-020617.pdf
ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/Semantic_model/PWG-Semantic-Mode-06-020617.doc
or later

If the short document that the PAPI reference in Chapter 9 should be more
IPP-specific, I've attached such a document.  It only lists IPP WG approved
IPP attributes, plus a few additions for a Document object proposal being
worked on as part of the PWG Semantic Model and as an extension to IPP.  The
Document object proposal mostly re-uses job level attributes at the document
level.  Peter Zehler is incorporating all these attributes into the PWG
Semantic Model and schema.

Please send any comments to the mailing list.  I'm in the process of
registering with IANA those attributes in this document that have been
published in RFCs.

Unfortunately, I was unable to down load this file to the PWG FTP server:
ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/fsg/spool/IPP-Object-Attributes.pdf
ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/fsg/spool/IPP-Object-Attributes.doc
so I've attached them as a single .zip file.  I hope that it makes it
through the freestandards mail system, since there is some limits to the
size of attachments.

Could somebody down load them to the above URLs this week?  I'm leaving on
vacation tomorrow (Sunday) and will return Thursday, August 15.

Peter,
If you want them in the PWG Semantic_model directory, please down load them
there too.

Thanks,
Tom
