Hi,
The System Service requirement for a running tick counter and
for an actual RTC w/ meaningful time would prevent the use of any
Resource operations by some printers. Also, the firmware update
and graceful restart abilities, which move away from traditional
vendor- and model-specific approaches and improve Managed
Print Service compatibility.
Questions:
(1) Should we reduce the various "date-time-at-xxx" attributes to
RECOMMENDED?
-- Comment - they are REQUIRED in IPP Everywhere
(2) Should we allow the various "time-at-xxx" attributes to be
trivial implementations (i.e., without meaningful tick counter)?
-- Comment - they are REQUIRED in RFC2911/RFC2911bis,
with some ambiguity about implementation
Note that I've personally been a proponent of required RTC
with meaningful date/time for years, so I'm conflicted about
bringing this subject up.
WDYT?
Cheers,
- Ira
