Normally a job progresses only from left to right through three states.
held and retention became job-state-reasons. The job MIB concept of
needs-attention is in IPP a job-state-reason: printer-stopped which a
job can have as a value of job-state-reasons when its job-state is
pending or processing.
We hoped that the Job MIB group would consider these changes in the
jobMIB as well.
