Smith,
I've added this to the list of issues in Finishings 2.0.
I'd have my concerns about having this be a MUST NOT since it might break existing Clients, but perhaps we could do something like:
Printers SHOULD NOT return the "finishings-col-database" attribute in response to a Get-Printer-Attributes request unless the Client supplies the "requested-attributes" operation attribute with the value 'finishings-col-database'. Clients SHOULD supply the "requested-attributes" operation attribute whenever they require the current "finishings-col-database" value.
But we need to do a little research on this and make sure we don't break anything... :/

>> At HP Inc. we have observed a phenomenon with the "finishings-col-database" similar to the "media-col-database": it can be quite large, and including it in with the rest of the job template attributes for each Get-Printer-Attributes response can have a negative impact on response times. Would it be reasonable or acceptable to make it so that "finishings-col-database" was withheld from Get-Printer-Attributes responses unless it was explicitly named in the "requested-attributes" attribute included in the IPP request? The "finishings-col-ready" could be included by default, but no the full database.
