[IPP] Canonical IPP way to set job-sheets to a different paper/tray/medium?

Hi Ira,

5100.3 covers a Client using the Job Sheets feature via "job-sheets-col", which extends "job-sheets" with the ability to specify a "media" or "media-col" with the sheets. 

But what the Printer actually renders and prints onto the job sheets themselves isn't covered. The assumption seems to be that the content to be printed on the job sheets is implementation-specific. If I as an operator wanted the job sheet to present my organization's logo, the user's name, date, job name, printing statistics and print quota status, I would presumably need to create this myself using something provided by the printer vendor?

Am I missing something?

Smith
