Hi Bill,

Shutdown is a special and thorny case - the DPA System
Admin (ISO 10175-Part3) state table shows that Shutdown
transitions the printer to 'shutdown' state (a first class state,
NOT just a condition or state reason).  And says in the
description of the Shutdown operation:

"This abstract operation allows an administrator to shutdown
a specified print server or physical printer.

The means for restarting a printer or server which has been
shutdown with this operation is provided by the Control
operation with the 'reset' attribute set to 'reset-power-cycle'.

<snip>

When a print server is shutdown, it is first disabled.  This
shall prevent new jobs from being accepted.  Currently
scheduled print jobs on a print server being shutdown
shall be saved; the print jobs shall be re-scheduled when
the print server is restarted.

The order in which jobs will be printed shall not be changed
by invocation of the Shutdown operation.

The ability to shutdown physical printers is an implementation
option."


So DPA says that print jobs MUST be saved on shutdown and
MUST be re-scheduled on restart.  Notice that DPA Control
is legal (and MUST be accepted) in every DPA printer state.


On the other hand, IPP System Admin (RFC 3998) defines all
three ShutdownPrinter, StartupPrinter, and RestartPrinter.
And says in StartupPrinter (page 15):

   "This OPTIONAL operation allows a client to start up an instance of a
   Printer object, provided that there isn't one already initiated.  The
   purpose of Startup-Printer is to allow a hosted implementation of the
   IPP Printer object (i.e., a Server that implements an IPP Printer on
   behalf of a networked or local Output Device) to be started after the
   host is available (by means outside this document).  See section
   3.5.1 for the way to initialize the software or reset the Output
   Device(s) when the IPP Printer object has already been initiated.

   The host MUST accept this operation only when the Printer object has
   not been initiated.  If the Printer object already exists, the host
   must return the 'client-error-not-possible' status code."

Note that the "host" (and NOT the IPP Printer object) accepts the
StartupPrinter operation.  IPP and DPA want you to RESTART an
existing printer.  So separating Startup/Restart makes sense for
Scan and other services.  An existing service can receive its own
Restart and Shutdown operations (both valid in any state, though
Shutdown when already Down is a no-op, but legal in DPA).


Thinking back, I believe Pete let Server be the abstract root
object for the SM schema files and imported my System from
WIMS as-is.

The intent in WIMS was that the System object controls and
summarizes the activities of Service and Device objects (and
enforces admin policies like loading and running firewall and
anti-virus software).

In Counter MIB, 'systemTotals' is a special ServiceType that
acts as a System object for summary counters.

So actually, I think we're mostly on the same page here (DPA,
IPP, Semantic Model, WIMS, Scan Service, etc.)

Cheers,
- Ira
