[IPP] Various questions about 5100.13

Hi guys,

Trying to resolve various questions I have about stuff from 5100.13 that have arisen in my quest to produce the next IPP Driverless Printing Extensions v2.0 draft. If you could answer these offline, we will be able to move more quickly through the next review.

- "jpeg-k-octets-supported" and "pdf-k-octets-supported" : Why were these defined to use the (rangeOfInteger(0:MAX)) syntax if the lower bound is required to be zero?

- "printer-organization" and "printer-organizational-unit" : Why were these defined to use the (1setOf text(MAX)) syntax? Is this to accommodate values that are bigger than one text(MAX) could hold?

- "printer-input-tray", "printer-output-tray" and "printer-supply" - why were all of these defined as (1setOf octetString(MAX)) and not as (1setOf text(MAX)) if they contain textual information?

- what value do any of the "xxx-index" keywords for "printer-supply" provide?  correlation with the MIB for cross-protocol coordination? If none, I think we ought to make them all "DEPRECATED"

- In JPS3 "5.6.40.1 Encoding of printer-supply-description", #2 says:

2. Each value of"printer-supply-description" MUST be tagged with the natural language [RFC5646] specified by prtGeneralCurrentLocalization, prtLocalizationLanguage, and prtLocalizationCountry; and

It isn't clear where these "tags" need to be in the string values, and they aren't included in the PAPI values from the example, but I think they ought to be. Here's the examples I have in NODRIVER currently:

printer-supply-description[1] = "Black Toner Cartridge S/N:16859422"
printer-supply-description[2] = "Cyan Toner Cartridge S/N:16852765"
printer-supply-description[3] = "Magenta Toner Cartridge S/N:16859681"
printer-supply-description[4] = "Yellow Toner Cartridge S/N:16859372"
printer-supply-description[5] = "Waste Toner Bin S/N:16816815"
printer-supply-description[6] = "Fuser Kit S/N:16820223"
printer-supply-description[7] = "Transfer Kit S/N:16821304"

When tagged to indicate US English, would a tagged set look like this?

printer-supply-description[1] = "en-USBlack Toner Cartridge S/N:16859422"
printer-supply-description[2] = "en-USCyan Toner Cartridge S/N:16852765"
printer-supply-description[3] = "en-USMagenta Toner Cartridge S/N:16859681"
printer-supply-description[4] = "en-USYellow Toner Cartridge S/N:16859372"
printer-supply-description[5] = "en-USWaste Toner Bin S/N:16816815"
printer-supply-description[6] = "en-USFuser Kit S/N:16820223"
printer-supply-description[7] = "en-USTransfer Kit S/N:16821304"

Thanks for your help!

Smith
