>> Here are the attributes that I don't see in IPP:
>> Orientation (portrait or landscape)
This is suitable for conversion, e.g. text to PostScript but not
for printing PostScript directly. We dropped it when we dropped
all text conversion attributes, under the assumption that we would
not specify attributes that deal with conversion issues.
>> Color (print black and white on a color printer)
This is also a conversion issue and was a eliminated for the same
reason.
