  • Next message: McDonald, Ira: "RE: IPP> Typo in Override...[PWG Errata Sheets]"

    I like Ron's suggestion for an errata sheet for PWG standards.

    Should it be a single errata sheet for all PWG standards, or a separate one
    for each standard that has one with the file name indicating which standard
    it is an errata for and maybe the date in case the same standard has
    additional errata.

    Presumably the errata sheet(s) would go in the same directory as the
    standards themselves, i.e.:

    ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/standards/

    What about the web page? How should it refer to the errata? Just add a line
    next to the standard that has the errata?

    Thanks,
    Tom

    Tom,

    I suggest adding an errata sheet to the directory for this document
    and use to keep track of corrections until the next update. Document
    revisions should be kept to a minimum. Maybe 6 months to 1 year
    between updates. Some reasonable number should be selected.

            Ron

    Carl,

    I agree, that you've found a typo. I would hope that we could fix PWG
    standard problems like this as soon as they are found and re-post on the PWG
    web site.

    How should we indicate such an update?

    Do we want to wait for a short period of time to see if any others are
    found?

    Comments?

    Thanks,
    Tom

    What does that mean: the "printer" is sending the Input-Documents?
    Shouldn't that be "client"?

    There is an IPP extension that does allow the client to specify the order
    of documents. See:

    Internet Printing Protocol (IPP):
    Override Attributes for Documents and Pages

    IEEE-ISTO Printer Working Group
    Standard 5100.4-2001

    February 7, 2001

    (ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/new_EXC/pwg5100.4.doc [and .rtf and .pdf])

    9.2 Send-Document and Send-URI Operation Requests
    Attributes are added to the Operation Attributes group.

         Group 1: Operation Attributes

              "input-document-number" (integer):

                 The client OPTIONALLY supplies this attribute in order to
                 inform the printer about the order of documents when the
                 printer is sending the Input-Documents asynchronously. The
                 first Input-Document is 1, and subsequent Input-Documents are
                 numbered sequentially. If the value of "last-document" is
                 'true', then the value of this attribute is also the total
                 number of Input-Documents in the Job. If a client supplies
                 this attribute in one Send-Document or Send-URI operation in a
                 Job, it MUST send it in all such operations. A Printer deals
                 with missing Input-Documents in the same way as without this
                 attribute except that a time-out can occur with
                 Input-Documents anywhere in the Job. For example, a Printer
                 could receive Input-Documents 1 and 3 and not 2.

    Documents within an IPP job do not have any sense of ordering. That is,
    you don't say `send document 4', you just send a document. The order they
    come out on paper is the same as the order in which you send them, except
    that you might request collated or uncollated copies (i.e.: "a b a b" or
    "a a b b") and how things are stapled together (i.e., are a and b stapled
    together, or is a one bound thing and b another).

    Wendy & Norm -- I was wrong about the complete lack of ordering. The spec
    (section 2.4.2 of RFC 2911) says that the document order "MUST be" either
    "a b a b" (collated) or "a a b b" (uncollated).
