I question this new definition:
"13.1.2.1 successful-ok (0x0000)
"The request has succeeded. In the case of a Print-Job operation, the
'successful-ok' status code indicates that the request was successfully=

received, validated, processed, and that the Job object has been create=
d; it
does not indicate that the job has been printed. The transition of the=
Job
object into the 'completed' state is the only indicator that the job ha=
s been
printed.
given the definition of 'processing' in section 3.1.7:
"Job submission time is the point in time when a client issues a create=

request. The initial state of every Job object is the 'pending' or
'pending-held' state. Later, the Printer object begins processing the =
print
job. At this point in time, the Job object's state moves to 'processin=
g'.
This is known as job processing time. There are validation checks that=
must be
done at job submission time and others that must be performed at job pr=
ocessing
time.
I don't believe that successful-ok (0x0000) really indicates that the r=
equest
was successfully "processed". Or at least there is the danger of confu=
sion
here between "request processing" and "job processing". Perhaps "reque=
st
processing" needs a definition.
