What I meant was that if a Printer receives a Create-Job operation with
"ipp://foo.com/printers/Foo" as the value of the "printer-uri" attribute,
then the Printer creates a "job-uri" attribute with an "ipp" scheme, e.g.
"ipp://foo.com/printers/Foo/123". Likewise, if a Printer receives a
Create-Job operation with "http://foo.com:631/printers/Foo" as the value of
the "printer-uri" attribute, then the Printer creates a "job-uri" attribute
with an "http" scheme, e.g. "http://foo.com:631/printers/Foo/123".

I guess I can't count.
>>3) What does "as is" later in the same sentence mean?
If you are referring to the user interface paragraph, I was trying to say
that the software doesn't change a URL in any way. If a user can see a URL,
it will be the same as the one passed in one of the five attributes. That
is, if the attribute value is "ipp://foo.com/printers/Foo", that is what the
user sees, and if the value is "http://foo.com:631/printers/Foo", that is
what the user sees.
