Agreed. The PWG has already agreed (?) that a print job is
a separate data path than device status. No one has raised
the topic of reporting formatting errors. I don't know if
it's a general issue or not.

I was trying to avoid the printer having to verify that the
same ORB was requeued and remembering the offset into it. I've
always had the impression that it would be more problematic
than breaking the data up into transport-level blocks. Perhaps
you can convince me otherwise. Would you try?
