Are you guys talking about receipt of event notifications or receipt of the
printed job output indicated as a Job object attribute and banner page text?

If event notifications, what events (job held or job completed or what?) and
how is the event specified?  Hopefully in some Per-Printer or Per-Job
Subscription.

Now *that's* a good idea! :)

I'd only ammend this to add an empty job-recipient-name attribute
means that the actual recipient is unknown, and a member of the
job-recipient-role attribute should be used instead.
