Hi Mike and Smith,
I suggest that the parameters and attributes of such an operation
are exactly the same as Get-Printer-Attributes, except that the User
identity MUST be authenticated and MUST be authorized (via some
out-of-band manner) to perform the new operation.
It might be appropriate to abandon the "limit" and friends and also
to say that you can't read "media-col-database" with this operation.
It might also be appropriate to abandon "requested-attributes" and
just return all the simple attributes and "xxx-supported" attributes.
Smith - please think about the use case(s) and propose by email
some more details for discussion as a next step.
Cheers,
- Ira
