I'll repeat ... I don't see how we can make a particular state mandatory
but for the sake of discussion... how can we possibly label "jobPrinting"
as Optional but jobCompletedWithWarnings and jobCompletedWithErrors
Mandatory? I can guarantee it will be easier for some printer job agents
to be aware that the job is Printing then to know whether or not warnings
or errors were encountered on the way to the stacker!

Almost. Even though the jmJobStateReason1 object is mandatory because
its in a Mandatory group, we get to decide on a enum by enum basis
which ones are mandatory (agent shall implement whether printer has or not)
which are conditionally mandatory (agent shall implement, but only if the
printer has that behavior)
and which ones are optional (agent doesn't have to imlement, even if the
printer has that behavior)
Most of the reasons are conditionally mandatory. The mandatory ones
are indicate below with "Man":
