Abstract

 This document is an OPTIONAL extension to the Internet Printing
 Protocol (IPP/1.0 and IPP/1.1).  This document specifies 3 additional
 OPTIONAL operations for use with the Internet Printing Protocol/1.0
 (IPP) and IPP/1.1.  The end user, operator, and administrator Set-
 Job-Attributes and Set-Printer-Attributes operations are used to
 modify IPP Job objects and Printer objects, respectively.  The Get-
 Printer-Supported-Values administrative operation returns values that
 the IPP Printer will accept for setting its "xxx-supported"
 attributes.

1 Introduction

 This document is an OPTIONAL extension to IPP/1.0 [RFC2565, RFC2566]
 and IPP/1.1 [RFC2911, RFC2910].  For a description of the base IPP
 documents see Appendix C.
 The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is an application level protocol
 that can be used for distributed printing using Internet tools and
 technologies.  IPP version 1.1 [RFC2911, RFC2910] focuses on end user
 functionality with a few administrative operations included.  This
 document defines additional OPTIONAL end user, operator, and
 administrator Set-Job-Attributes and Set-Printer-Attributes
 operations used to modify IPP Job objects and Printer objects,
 respectively.  It also defines a third Get-Printer-Supported-Values
 administrator operation that returns values that the IPP Printer will
 accept for setting its "xxx-supported" attributes.  The Get-Printer-
 Supported-Values operation MUST be supported, if the implementation
 supports setting any "xxx-supported" Printer attributes using the
 Set-Printer-Attributes operation.
 Nine Printer Description attributes are defined:
 printer-settable-attributes-supported (1setOf type2 keyword)
 job-settable-attributes-supported (1setOf type2 keyword)
 document-format-varying-attributes (1setOf type2 keyword)
 printer-message-time (integer(MIN:MAX))
 printer-message-date-time (dateTime)
 printer-xri-supported (1setOf collection)
 xri-uri-scheme-supported (1setOf uriScheme)
 xri-authentication-supported (1setOf type2 keyword)
 xri-security-supported (1setOf type2 keyword)
 Three out-of-band values are defined for use with these three
 operations: 'delete-attribute' for deleting Job attributes with the
 Set-Job-Attributes request, 'not-settable' for use in either the
 Set-Job-Attributes or Set-Printer-Attributes responses, and 'admin-
 define' for use in the Get-Printer-Supported-Values response.
 Two operation attributes: "printer-message-from-operator" (text) and
 "job-message-from-operator" (text) are defined to set the
 corresponding IPP/1.1 Printer and Job Description attributes with the
 same names.  These operation attributes may be used with any
 operation that affect the Printer or Job object for which an
 operation might want to indicate a message.  For the Set-Job-
 Attributes and Set-Printer-Attributes operations, the client MUST
 explicitly set them, rather than using these operation attributes.

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 4] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

 A Printer implementation can make the value of some attributes
 dependent on the document-format, e.g., "resolution-supported".

2 Terminology

 This section defines terminology used throughout this document.

2.1 Conformance Terminology

 Capitalized terms, such as MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHOULD, SHOULD
 NOT, MAY, NEED NOT, and OPTIONAL, have special meaning relating to
 conformance as defined in BCP 14, RFC 2119 [RFC2119] and [RFC2911]
 section 12.1.  If an implementation supports the extension defined in
 this document, then these terms apply; otherwise, they do not.  These
 terms define conformance to this document only; they do not affect
 conformance to other documents, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

2.2 Other terminology

 This document uses terms such as Job object (or Job), IPP Printer
 object (or Printer), "operation", "request", response", "attributes",
 "keywords", and "support".  These terms have special meaning and are
 defined in the model terminology [RFC2911], section 12.2.  The
 following additional terms are introduced in this document:
 READ-ONLY: used in an attribute definition document to indicate that
    the attribute MUST NOT be settable using an IPP protocol Set
    operation.  In other words, the attribute is not settable by
    definition.
 not-settable: an implementation does not support setting an attribute
    (whether or not the attribute's definition is READ-ONLY).

3 Requirements and Use Cases

 The following requirements and usage are intended to be met by the
 specification in this document.
 1. The end-user and the operator need a way to modify a Job that is
    in the 'pending' or 'pending-held' state.
    Usage: The end-user discovers that he/she forgot to include a
    print instruction, such as "finishings" = 'staple' after
    submitting a job.  Rather than canceling the job and resubmitting
    it to the same IPP Printer, the end-user is able to modify the job
    on the IPP Printer.

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 5] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

    The operator needs to modify a job because it is requesting a
    particular kind of media for which there is no more, but the
    policy is to print the job on a comparable medium.
 2. The system administrator needs a way to re-configure or change the
    policy of the IPP Printer remotely.
    Usage: The system administrator is adding additional named media
    to the supported media list (setting 'name' values to the "media-
    supported" Printer attribute).
    The system administrator is reducing the capability of the IPP
    Printer by removing one of the operations from the supported
    operations list, such as Cancel-Job, because the policy is to run
    the IPP Printer like a public facsimile machine.  After having
    removed Cancel-Job from the list of supported operations, an
    administrative client needs to be able to display to an
    administrator that the implementation is capable of being
    reconfigured to support Cancel-Job once again.
    The system administrator is remotely configuring the IPP Printer
    after installing it, and so is replacing the Printer Description
    attributes that have the out-of-band 'no-value' value (see
    [RFC2911], section 4.1) with the proper values.
    The operator is changing the media loaded in the input tray, and
    so is replacing the "media-ready" Job Template Printer attribute
    value with the proper values.

4 Definition of the Set operations

 The Set-Printer-Attributes operations (as are all Printer operations)
 are directed at Printer objects.  A client MUST always supply the
 "printer-uri" operation attribute in order to identify the correct
 target of the operation.  These descriptions assume all of the common
 semantics of the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics document [RFC2911],
 section 3.1.
 The Set-Job-Attributes operations (as are all Job operations) are
 directed at Job objects.  A client MUST always supply some means of
 identifying the Job object in order to identify the correct target of
 the operation.  That job identification MAY either be a single Job
 URI or a combination of a Printer URI with a Job ID, as defined in
 [RFC2911].  The IPP object implementation MUST support both forms of
 identification for every job.  If possible, a client SHOULD use the
 Printer URI with a Job ID rather than a Job URI, since the 32-bit

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 6] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

 "job-id" is more readily translated to and from other print protocols
 that MAY be serving as gateways into or out of the IPP
 implementation.
 The Set Printer operations are summarized in Table 1:
                   Table 1 - Operation-Id assignments
    Operation Name      Operation  Brief description
                        -Id
    Set-Printer-        0x0013     Sets attribute values of the target
    Attributes                     Printer object
    Set-Job-Attributes  0x0014     Sets attribute values of the target
                                   Job object
    Get-Printer-        0x0015     Gets values that are valid for
    Supported-Values               setting "xxx-supported" attributes
                                   using the Set-Printer-Attributes
                                   operation

4.1 Set-Printer-Attributes Operation

 This OPTIONAL operation allows a client to set the values of the
 attributes of a Printer object.  In the request, the client supplies
 the set of Printer keyword attribute names and values that are to be
 set.  In the response, the Printer object returns success or rejects
 the entire request with indications of which attribute or attributes
 could not be set.
 The Printer object validates the client-supplied attributes in the
 Set-Printer-Attributes request.  For an attribute to validate, it
 MUST meet all of the following rules:
 1. The number of attributes supplied by the client MUST NOT exceed
    the maximum number that the Printer supports in a Set-Printer-
    Attributes request.  A Printer MUST accept at least one attribute,
    but SHOULD accept a reasonable number in a single Set-Printer-
    Attributes request.
    Note: There is no way for the client to determine the maximum
    number of attributes that the Printer supports in a Set-Printer-
    Attributes request, except to try a reasonable number.
 2. The Printer MUST support the attribute.

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 7] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

 3. The attribute MUST NOT be READ-ONLY, i.e., the definition of the
    attribute MUST NOT indicate that the attribute is READ-ONLY (see
    Appendix A for an indication of which IPP/1.1 attributes are
    READ-ONLY).
 4. The attribute MUST be settable in this implementation.
 5. The Printer MUST support the value, according to the rules defined
    in Appendix A, i.e., each value of each supplied "xxx" attribute
    MUST be validated against the value of a corresponding "xxx-
    supported" Printer attribute.  One of those rules permits an
    administrator to set arbitrary 'name' values to those "xxx-
    supported" Printer attributes that include the 'name' attribute
    syntax if the implementation supports the 'admin-define' out-of-
    band value for that "xxx-supported" attribute (see section 8.3 and
    Appendix A).
 6. The attribute's values MUST NOT conflict with the values of other
    Printer attributes, including ones being set in this same
    operation.
 If any of the supplied attributes are not validate, the Printer
 object MUST reject the entire operation; the Printer object MUST NOT
 partially set some of the supplied attributes.  In other words, after
 the operation, all the supplied attributes MUST be set or none of
 them MUST be set, thus making the Set-Printer-Attributes an atomic
 operation.
 The Printer MUST accept this operation when its READ-ONLY "printer-
 state" attribute (see [RFC2911], section 4.4.11) is 'idle' or
 'stopped', and SHOULD accept it when the value is 'processing'.  The
 Printer MUST accept this operation for any of the values of the
 Printer object's READ-ONLY "printer-state-reasons" and "printer-is-
 accepting-jobs" attributes, unless explicitly defined otherwise in
 the definition of these attributes' values.
 This operation MUST NOT change the value of attributes not specified
 in the operation unless the definition of the attribute explicitly
 specifies such side-effects.  For example, this document explicitly
 specifies that when this operation sets "printer-message-from-
 operator", the Printer also MUST set the READ-ONLY "printer-message-
 time" and READ-ONLY "printer-message-date-time" attributes to the
 time of the operation as a side effect.  In particular, if this
 operation changes an "xxx-default" attribute, the new value MUST be
 in the "xxx-supported" attributes or the request MUST contain a new
 value for "xxx-supported", which contains the new value for the
 "xxx-default".  Otherwise, the Printer MUST reject the operation.  In
 general, Printer attribute definitions that are settable will not

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 8] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

 define side-effects on other attributes that are settable, only side
 effects on READ-ONLY attributes, if any.

4.1.1 Settable and READ-ONLY Printer Description attributes

 If the Printer supports the Set-Printer-Attributes operation, then it
 SHOULD support the setting of:
    all Job Template Default ("xxx-default") attributes
    all Job Template Supported ("xxx-supported") attributes
    all Job Template Ready ("xxx-ready") attributes
 that the implementation supports (see [RFC2911] section 4.2 and
 extensions).
 Some Printer Description attributes (see [RFC2911] section 4.4) MUST
 NOT be settable, i.e., they are defined to be READ-ONLY.  An
 attribute marked as "READ-ONLY" in the Printer Description attribute
 table in Appendix A is such an attribute.  The Printer attributes
 that are not marked as "READ-ONLY" MAY be settable using the Set-
 Printer-Attributes operation, depending on implementation.
 Note: From now on, all extensions that define new object attributes
 will indicate whether or not the attributes are READ-ONLY, by
 including the "READ-ONLY" adjective in their descriptions and/or
 explicitly stating whether they MAY be settable.
 The current values of each "xxx-supported" Printer attribute MUST
 reflect the current policy for support of the corresponding "xxx"
 attribute.  If an "xxx-supported" Printer attribute is settable in an
 implementation, then its value(s) MUST affect the behavior of the
 implementation.  If an "xxx-supported" Printer attribute is defined
 to be READ-ONLY or is not-settable in an implementation, then its
 values MUST NOT be settable using the Set-Printer-Attributes
 operation.  Consider the following examples:
    For example, if the "operations-supported" Printer Description
    attribute (see [RFC2911] section 4.4.15) is settable in a
    particular implementation, then changing its value with a Set-
    Printer-Attributes operation MUST affect the operations that the
    implementation accepts or rejects.  Such an implementation will
    need to be able to reject values for operations that it contains
    no code support for (see section 4.3).  If the "operations-
    supported" Printer Description attribute is not settable in a
    particular implementation, then that implementation MUST reject an
    attempt to set it with a Set-Printer-Attributes operation, return
    the 'client-error-attributes-not-settable' status code (see
    section 7.1), and return the "operations-supported" attribute,

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 9] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

    with the out-of-band 'not-settable' value in the Unsupported
    Attributes Group.
    As another example, consider an implementation in which the
    "media-default" and "media-supported" are settable.  If a client
    supplies a Set-Printer-Attributes request that contains the
    "media-default" attribute with a value that is not a member of the
    Printer's "media-supported" attribute, the Printer MUST reject the
    request and return the "client-error-conflicting-attributes"
    status code with the "media-default" and "media-supported"
    attributes and their values (see [RFC2911] section 3.1.7).
    As a third example, if a client supplies a Set-Printer-Attributes
    request that contains both the "media-default" and the "media-
    supported" attributes, but includes a value in the "media-default"
    that is not a member of the supplied "media-supported" attribute,
    the Printer MUST reject the request and return the "client-error-
    conflicting-attributes" status code with the "media-default" and
    "media-supported" attributes and their values (see [RFC2911]
    section 3.1.7).
 Access Rights: The authenticated user (see [RFC2911] section 8.3)
 performing this operation must be an operator or administrator of the
 Printer object (see [RFC2911] Sections 1 and 8.5).  Most Printer
 attributes will require administrator access rights to set, such as
 "xxx-supported", while some will require operator access rights only,
 such as "media-ready" and "printer-message-from-operator".  Which
 attributes require which access rights depends on implementation, and
 MAY depend on site policy.

4.1.2 Set-Printer-Attributes Request

 The following sets of attributes are part of the Set-Printer-
 Attributes Request:
 Group 1: Operation Attributes
    Natural Language and Character Set:
       The "attributes-charset" and "attributes-natural-language"
       attributes, as described in [RFC2911], section 3.1.4.1.
    Target:
       The "printer-uri" (uri) operation attribute, which is the
       target for this operation, as described in [RFC2911], section
       3.1.5.

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 10] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

    Requesting User Name:
       The "requesting-user-name" (name(MAX)) attribute SHOULD be
       supplied by the client, as described in [RFC2911], section 8.3.
    "document-format" (mimeMediaType):
       The client OPTIONALLY supplies this attribute.  The Printer
       object MUST support this attribute.  This attribute is useful
       for a client to select the document-format to which the
       attribute modification should be applied.  A Printer
       implementation MAY allow some attributes to have different
       values for each document format that it supports.  See
       [RFC2911], section 3.2.5.1 "Get-Printer-Attributes Request".
       If the client includes this attribute, the Printer MUST change
       the supplied attributes for the document format specified by
       this attribute.  If a supplied attribute is a member of the
       "document-format-varying-attributes" (i.e., the attribute
       varies by document format, see section 6.3), the Printer MUST
       change the supplied attribute for the document format specified
       by this attribute, but not for other document formats.  If a
       supplied attribute isn't a member of the "document-format-
       varying-attributes" (i.e., it doesn't vary by document format),
       the Printer MUST change the supplied attribute for all document
       formats.
       If the client omits this attribute, the Printer MUST change the
       supplied attributes for all document formats, whether or not
       they vary by document-format.
       If the client supplies a value for the "document-format"
       Operation attribute, that is either 'application/octet-stream'
       or not supported by the Printer, i.e., is not among the values
       of the Printer object's "document-format-supported" attribute,
       the Printer object MUST reject the operation and return the
       'client-error-document-format-not-supported' status code.
       Note: the document-format 'application/octet-stream' is the
       union of several document-formats (see [RFC2911] section
       3.2.5.1, Get-Printer-Attributes) and is not a true document-
       format.
 Group 2: Printer Attributes
    The client MUST supply a set of Printer attributes with one or
    more values (including explicitly allowed out-of-band values) as
    defined in [RFC2911] section 4.2 Job Template Attributes ("xxx-
    default", "xxx-supported", and "xxx-ready" attributes), section
    4.4 Printer Description Attributes, and any attribute extensions
    supported by the Printer.  The value(s) of each Printer attribute

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 11] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

    supplied in Group 2 replaces the value(s) of the corresponding
    Printer attribute on the target Printer object.  For attributes
    that can have multiple values (1setOf), all values supplied by the
    client replace all values of the corresponding Printer object
    attribute.  If a Printer object attribute had not yet been
    configured, and so assumed the 'no-value' out-of-band value (see
    [RFC2911] section 4.1), the supplied value(s) replaces the 'no-
    value' value.

4.1.3 Set-Printer-Attributes Response

 The Printer object returns the following sets of attributes as part
 of the Get-Printer-Attributes Response:
 Group 1: Operation Attributes
    Status Message:
       In addition to the REQUIRED status code returned in every
       response, the response OPTIONALLY includes a "status-message"
       (text(255)) and/or a "detailed-status-message" (text(MAX))
       operation attribute, as described in [RFC2911] sections 3.1.6
       and 13.
    Natural Language and Character Set:
       The "attributes-charset" and "attributes-natural-language"
       attributes, as described in [RFC2911], section 3.1.4.2.
 Group 2: Unsupported Attributes
    See [RFC2911], section 3.1.7, for details on returning Unsupported
    Attributes.
    If some of the attributes in the operation fail to validate, the
    Printer MUST reject the operation, MUST NOT change any Printer
    attributes, and MUST return the indicated status code below.  In
    this group, the Printer MUST also return all attributes that fail
    to validate.  The following are the reasons that an attribute
    fails to validate and the value returns for the attribute, along
    with the indicated status code and order of detection:
    1. The number of attributes supplied by the client exceeds the
       maximum number that the Printer supports in a Set-Printer-
       Attributes request: return the 'client-error-request-entity-
       too-large' (see [RFC2911], section 13.1.4.9).

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 12] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

    2. The Printer doesn't support the attribute: return the attribute
       with the "out-of-band" value 'unsupported' (see [RFC2911]
       section 3.1.7 and [RFC2910]) and the 'client-error-attributes-
       or-values-not-supported (see [RFC2911], section 13.1.4.12).
    3. The attribute is either READ-ONLY (in its definition) or is
       not-settable in this implementation: return the attribute with
       the "out-of-band" value 'not-settable' (see section 8.1) and
       the 'client-error-attributes-not-settable' status code (see
       section 7.1).
    4. The Printer doesn't support the value: if the attribute in the
       operation has a single value, return it.  If the attribute in
       the operation is multi-valued, return only those values in a
       1setOf that are not supported.  Return the 'client-error-
       attributes-or-values-not-supported' status code (see [RFC2911],
       section 13.1.4.12).
    5. The values of some of the supplied attributes conflict with one
       another and/or other Printer attribute values not being set: if
       the conflicting attribute in the operation has a single value,
       return the attribute and the value.  If the attribute in the
       operation is multi-valued, return only the attribute and those
       values in a 1setOf that are conflicting with other attributes.
       Return the 'client-error-conflicting-attributes' status code
       (see [RFC2911], section 13.1.4.15).

4.2 Set-Job-Attributes Operation

 This OPTIONAL operation allows a client to set the values of the
 attributes of a Job object.  In the request, the client supplies the
 set of Job keyword attribute names and values that are to be set.  In
 the response, the IPP object returns success or rejects the entire
 request with indications of which attribute or attributes could not
 be set.
 This operation is almost identical to the Set-Printer-Attributes
 operation and follows the same rules for validation (see section
 4.1).  The only differences are that the Set-Job-Attributes operation
 is directed at a Job object rather than a Printer object, there is no
 "document-format" operation attribute used when setting a Job object,
 the operation can add an attribute to the (Job) object, the 'delete-
 attributes' out-of-band value is permitted to remove an attribute,
 and the validation is the same as the Job Creation operations
 (Print-Job, Print-URI, and Create-Job), i.e., depends on the "xxx-
 supported" Printer Description attributes (see [RFC2911] section
 3.1).  Using the Set-Printer-Attributes operation, the administrator
 can set arbitrary 'name' values to those "xxx-supported" Printer

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 13] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

 attributes, that include the 'name' attribute syntax, if the
 implementation supports the 'admin-define' out-of-band value for that
 "xxx-supported" attribute (see section 8.3 and Appendix A).  However,
 the Set-Job-Attributes cannot be used to add unsupported names to the
 Job object.
 If a client supplies a job attribute in a Set-Job-Attributes request
 that the Printer supports, and the job was originally submitted
 without supplying that attribute, the Printer adds the attribute to
 the Job object.
 If the client supplies a job attribute with the "out-of-band" value
 'delete-attribute' (see section 8.2), then the Printer MUST remove
 the attribute and all of its values from the Job object, if present.
 The semantic effect of the client supplying the 'delete-attribute'
 value in a Set-Job-Attributes operation MUST be the same as if the
 attribute had not been supplied with the Job object in the Job
 Creation operation, i.e., the Printer applies its default attribute
 or behavior with lower precedence that the PDL (see the beginning of
 [RFC2911] section 4.2 and [RFC2911] 3.2.1.1).  Any subsequent query
 of the Job object using Get-Job-Attributes or Get-Jobs, MUST NOT
 return any attribute that has been deleted using the 'delete-
 attribute' out-of-band value.  However, a client can re-establish
 such a deleted Job attribute with any supported value(s), using a
 subsequent Set-Job-Attributes operation.
 If the client supplies an attribute in a Set-Job-Attributes request
 with the 'delete-attribute' value and that attribute is not present
 on the Job object, the Printer ignores that supplied attribute in the
 request, does not return the attribute in the Unsupported Attributes
 group, and returns the 'successful-ok' status code, if there are no
 other problems with the request.
 The validation of the Set-Job-Attributes request is performed by the
 Printer as if the job had been submitted originally with the new
 attribute values (and the deleted attributes removed) and with "ipp-
 attribute-fidelity" set to 'true', i.e., all modified attributes Job
 attributes and values MUST be supported in combination with the Job
 attributes not modified.  If such a Job Creation operation would have
 been accepted, then the Set-Job-Attributes MUST be accepted.  If such
 a Job Creation operation would have been rejected, then the Set-Job-
 Attributes MUST be rejected and the Job MUST be unchanged.  In
 addition, if any of the supplied attributes are not supported, are
 not settable, or the values are not supported, the Printer object
 MUST reject the entire operation; the Printer object MUST NOT
 partially set some of the supplied attributes.  In other words, after

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 14] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

 the operation, all the supplied attributes MUST be set or none of
 them MUST be set, thus making the Set-Job-Attributes an atomic
 operation.
 The IPP object MUST accept or reject this operation when the Job's
 READ-ONLY "job-state" attribute has the values shown in Table 2.  The
 job's current state MUST affect whether the IPP object accepts or
 rejects the request.  For example, in the case where the operation
 creates a request for unavailable resources, the Job transitions to a
 new state.  Table 2 shows the allowed behaviors in each job state and
 the transitions.
     Table 2 - Job State Transition Table for the Set-Job-Attributes

                                   implementation, including the
                                   attributes being set, whether the
                                   job has started marking media,
                                   etc.
  'processing-     'processing-    'successful-ok'  or 'client-error-

                                   implementation, including the
                                   attributes being set, whether the
                                   job has started marking media,
                                   etc.

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 15] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

 This operation MUST NOT change the value of attributes not specified
 in the operation unless the definition of the attribute explicitly
 specifies such side-effects.  In general, Job attribute definitions
 that are settable will not define side-effects on other attributes
 that are settable, only side effects on READ-ONLY attributes, if any.

4.2.1 Settable and READ-ONLY Job Description attributes

 If the Printer supports the "job-message-from-operator" Job
 Description attribute (see [RFC2911] section 4.3.16) and the client
 explicitly supplies a new value for the "job-message-from-operator"
 Job Description attribute in Group 2 in the Set-Job-Attributes
 request, then the Printer MUST set the "job-message-from-operator"
 Job Description attribute to this new value.
 If the Printer supports the Set-Job-Attributes operation, then it
 SHOULD support the setting of:
    all Job Template job ("xxx") attributes
 that the implementation supports (see [RFC2911] section 4.2 and
 extensions).
 Some Job Description attributes (see [RFC2911] section 4.3) MUST NOT
 be settable, i.e., they are defined to be READ-ONLY.  An attribute
 marked as "READ-ONLY" in the Job Description attribute table in
 Appendix A is such an attribute.  The Job attributes not marked as
 "READ-ONLY" MAY be settable using the Set-Job-Attributes operation,
 depending on implementation.
 Note: From now on, all extensions that define new object attributes
 will indicate whether or not the attributes are READ-ONLY, by
 including the "READ-ONLY" adjective in their descriptions and/or
 explicitly stating whether they MAY be settable.
 Access Rights: The authenticated user (see [RFC2911] section 8.3)
 performing this operation must either be the job owner (as determined
 in the Job Creation operation) or an operator or administrator of the
 Printer object (see [RFC2911] Sections 1 and 8.5).

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 16] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

4.2.2 Set-Job-Attributes Request

 The following sets of attributes are part of the Set-Job-Attributes
 Request:
 Group 1: Operation Attributes
    Natural Language and Character Set:
       The "attributes-charset" and "attributes-natural-language"
       attributes as described in [RFC2911], section 3.1.4.1.
    Target:
       Either (1) the "printer-uri" (uri) plus "job-id"
       (integer(1:MAX)) or (2) the "job-uri" (uri) operation
       attribute(s), which defines the target for this operation as
       described in [RFC2911], section 3.1.5.
    Requesting User Name:
       The "requesting-user-name" (name(MAX)) attribute SHOULD be
       supplied by the client, as described in [RFC2911], section 8.3.
 Group 2: Job Attributes
    The client MUST supply a set of Job attributes with one or more
    values (including explicitly allowed out-of-band values) as
    defined in [RFC2911], section 4.2, Job Template Attributes ("xxx"
    attributes), section 4.3, Job Description Attributes, and any
    attribute extensions supported by the Printer.  The value(s) of
    each Job attribute supplied in Group 2 replaces the value(s) of
    the corresponding Job attribute on the target Job object.  For
    attributes that can have multiple values (1setOf), all values
    supplied by the client replace all values of the corresponding Job
    object attribute.
    If the client supplies an "xxx" attribute with the 'delete-
    attribute' out-of-band value (see section 8.2), the Printer MUST
    remove the "xxx" attribute from the Job object, if present.

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 17] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

4.2.3 Set-Job-Attributes Response

 The IPP object returns the following sets of attributes as part of
 the Set-Job-Attributes Response:
 Group 1: Operation Attributes
    Status Message:
       In addition to the REQUIRED status code returned in every
       response, the response OPTIONALLY includes a "status-message"
       (text(255)) and/or a "detailed-status-message" (text(MAX))
       operation attribute as described in [RFC2911], sections 3.1.6
       and 13.
    Natural Language and Character Set:
       The "attributes-charset" and "attributes-natural-language"
       attributes as described in [RFC2911], section 3.1.4.2.
 Group 2: Unsupported Attributes
    See [RFC2911], section 3.1.7, for details on returning Unsupported
    Attributes.
    If some of the attributes in the operation fail to validate, the
    Printer MUST reject the operation, MUST NOT change any Job
    attributes, and MUST return the indicated status code below.  In
    this group, the Printer MUST also return all attributes that fail
    to validate.  The following are the reasons that an attribute
    fails to validate and the value returns for the attribute, along
    with the indicated status code and order of detection:
    1. The number of attributes supplied by the client exceeds the
       maximum number that the Printer supports in a Set-Printer-
       Attributes request: return the 'client-error-request-entity-
       too-large' (see [RFC2911], section 13.1.4.9).
    2. The Printer doesn't support the attribute: return the attribute
       with the 'unsupported' out-of-band attribute value (see
       [RFC2911], section 3.1.7 and [RFC2910]) and the 'client-error-
       attributes-or-values-not-supported (see [RFC2911], section
       13.1.4.12).
    3. The attribute is READ-ONLY (in its definition) or is not-
       settable in this implementation: return the attribute with the
       'not-settable' out-of-band attribute value (see section 8.1)
       and the 'client-error-attributes-not-settable' status code (see
       section 7.1).

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 18] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

    4. The Printer doesn't support the value: if the attribute in the
       operation has a single value return it.  If the attribute in
       the operation is multi-valued, return only those values in a
       1setOf that are not supported.  Return the 'client-error-
       attributes-or-values-not-supported' status code (see [RFC2911],
       section 13.1.4.12).
    5. The values of some of the supplied attributes conflict with one
       another and/or other Job attribute values not being set:  if
       the conflicting attribute in the operation has a single value,
       return the attribute and the value.  If the attribute in the
       operation is multi-valued, return only the attribute and those
       values in a 1setOf that are conflicting with other attributes.
       Return the 'client-error-conflicting-attributes' status code
       (see [RFC2911],y section 13.1.4.15).

4.3 Get-Printer-Supported-Values Operation

 This OPTIONAL operation allows a client to request the values that
 the Printer allows in the Set-Printer-Attributes operation for "xxx-
 supported" attributes.  If the Printer supports the Set-Printer-
 Attributes operation AND some of its "xxx-supported" Printer
 attributes are settable, then the Printer MUST also support this
 operation.
 The Printer MUST return in the Get-Printer-Supported-Values response,
 those, and only those, "xxx-supported" Printer attributes that it
 supports setting with the Set-Printer-Attributes operation.
 Furthermore, if a client requests the value of an attribute that is
 not settable or is not supported (as in the Get-Printer-Attributes
 response), the Unsupported Attributes Group of the response NEED NOT
 contain the "requested-attributes" operation attribute with any such
 requested (attribute keyword) values.
 This operation has identical request/response attributes to the Get-
 Printer-Attributes operation in IPP/1.1 [RFC2911].  The operation
 also behaves identically to the Get-Printer-Attributes operation in
 IPP/1.1 [RFC2911], with the following exceptions:
 1. The Get-Printer-Supported-Values operation supports only "xxx-
    supported" attributes.
 2. The Get-Printer-Attributes operation returns the few "xxx-
    supported" attributes that are defined to be single valued, such
    as "page-ranges-supported" (boolean) or "pdl-override-supported"
    (type2 keyword), as single values, while Get-Printer-Supported-

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 19] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

    Values returns the possible values that can be set as a 1setOf of
    the same attribute syntax type (See Appendix B: Attributes
    returned from Get-Printer-Supported-Values).
 3. The Get-Printer-Attributes operation returns the current values of
    requested attributes, while the Get-Printer-Supported-Values
    operation returns the values that are inherently supported by the
    implementation code, i.e., the values that an administrative
    client can set in a Set-Printer-Attributes request.
 4. The Get-Printer-Attributes operation returns the current values of
    requested "xxx-supported" attributes that the Printer is
    configured to accept in Job Creation operations, including
    additional values defined by the administrator, while the Get-
    Printer-Supported-Values operation returns only the values of
    "xxx-supported" attributes that are inherently supported by the
    implementation and does not return any additional values defined
    by the administrator, where the implementation supports the
    'admin-define' out-of-band value.
 5. The Get-Printer-Attributes never returns the 'admin-define' out-
    of-band attribute value, while the Get-Printer-Supported-
    Attributes operation does, if the implementation allows the
    administrator to define name values by setting that "xxx-
    supported" attribute with any 'name' value(s).
 6. The Get-Printer-Attributes operation only requires end-user access
    rights, while the Get-Printer-Supported-Values requires
    administrator access rights.
 Access Rights: The authenticated user (see [RFC2911], section 8.3)
 performing this operation must be an administrator of the Printer
 object (see [RFC2911], Sections 1 and 8.5).

4.3.1 Definition of the usage of the 'admin-define' out-of-band

    attribute value
 If the Set-Printer-Attributes operation allows the System
 Administrator to define arbitrary 'name' values for an "xxx-
 supported" attribute, then the Get-Printer-Supported-Values operation
 MUST return the 'admin-define' out-of-band attribute value (see
 section 8.3) as one of the values of the "xxx-supported" attribute.
 In other words, the 'admin-define' out-of-band attribute value
 indicates that the Printer implementation supports clients setting
 arbitrary 'name' attribute syntax values for that "xxx-supported"
 attribute using the Set-Printer-Attributes operation, as long as the
 attribute is defined with the 'name' attribute syntax.

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 20] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

 For example, if the Get-Printer-Supported-Values operation returns
 several keywords as the value of the "media-supported" attribute,
 then the Set-Printer-Attributes operation MUST accept any of these
 keywords as values for the "media-supported" attribute.  If the Get-
 Printer-Supported-Values operation returns an 'admin-define' out-of-
 band attribute value as one of the values of the "media-supported"
 attribute, then the Set-Printer-Attributes operation MUST accept any
 value whose attribute syntax is 'name', as a value for the "media-
 supported" attribute (provided that the user is properly
 authenticated to use the Set-Printer-Attributes operation, e.g., has
 administrative access rights).
 The Get-Printer-Supported-Values MAY return the 'admin-define' out-
 of-band attribute value for any IPP/1.1 or extension Job Template
 attribute if the implementation supports allowing the System
 Administrator to add values to the "xxx-supported" attribute using
 the Set-Printer-Attributes operation.  In this case, the Printer MUST
 accept any 'name' value of the correct attribute syntax in a Set-
 Printer-Attributes operation that is setting that attribute.  For
 "xxx-supported" attributes that are defined with a choice of
 attribute syntaxes, such as 'keyword | name', it is the 'name'
 attribute syntax that the System Administrator can use to add new
 values, not the 'keyword' attribute syntax.  For IPP/1.1, this
 requirement includes the following Job Template attributes:
    media-supported
    job-hold-until-supported
    job-sheets-supported
 Implementations that support additional Job Template attributes that
 include the 'name' attribute syntax, MAY use the 'admin-define' out-
 of-band value with them.
 If the 'admin-define' out-of-band attribute value is not one of the
 values of an "xxx-supported" attribute returned in a Get-Printer-
 Supported-Values response, then the Printer MUST NOT allow the Set-
 Printer-Attributes operation for that attribute to contain a value
 that is not one of the explicit 'keyword' or 'name' values returned
 in a Get-Printer-Supported-Values response.
 See Appendix B: Attributes returned from Get-Printer-Supported-Values
 for a full list of values returned by this operation.

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 21] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

5 New Operation attributes

 This section defines new operation attributes for use with the
 IPP/1.1 operations indicated.  As new operations are defined, they
 will also indicate explicitly whether these operation attributes are
 defined for use with them.

5.1 printer-message-from-operator (text(127))

 The Printer SHOULD support this Operation attribute in following
 operations if it supports the corresponding "printer-message-from-
 operator" Printer Description attribute.
    Pause-Printer
    Resume-Printer
    Purge-Jobs
 The client OPTIONALLY supplies this Operation attribute in the above
 operations.  The value of this attribute is a message from the
 operator about the Printer object on which the operator is performing
 the operation.  If this operation attribute is supported, the Printer
 copies the value to its "printer-message-from-operator" Printer
 Description attribute (see [RFC2911], section 4.4.25), even if this
 Operation attribute is a zero-length text value or consists solely of
 white space.
 If the Printer supports this operation attribute, it MUST support
 both a zero-length text value and the 'no-value' out-of-band value
 (see [RFC2911] section 4.1) to indicate that the operator has sent no
 message.  In this case, the Printer sets the value of the "printer-
 message-from-operator" to the zero-length value or 'no-value' out-
 of-band value, respectively.  If the client queries the "printer-
 message-from-operator" Printer attribute, the Printer returns the
 attribute with the zero-length value or the 'no-value' value,
 respectively.
 In addition, the Printer automatically copies:
 1. the value of its "printer-up-time" attribute (see [RFC2911],
    section 4.4.29) to its "printer-message-time" attribute,
 2. the value of its printer-current-time" (dateTime) attribute (see
    [RFC2911], section 4.4.30) to its "printer-message-date-time"
    attribute, if supported.

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 22] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

 If the client omits this operation attribute, the Printer does not
 change the value of its "printer-message-from-operator", "printer-
 message-time" and "printer-message-date-time" Printer Description
 attributes.
 The "printer-message-from-operator" operation attribute MUST NOT be
 supported as an operation attribute for the Set-Printer-Attributes
 operation.  If the operator wants to set the Printer's "printer-
 message-from-operator" Printer Description attribute when issuing the
 Set-Printer-Attributes operation, the client supplies the "printer-
 message-from-operator" explicitly with its new value as one of the
 Printer Description attributes in Group 2 in the request; the Printer
 also updates its "printer-message-time" and "printer-message-date-
 time" Printer Description attributes.  If the client does not
 explicitly supply the "printer-message-from-operator" with its new
 value in the Set-Printer-Attributes request, the Printer leaves the
 value of the Printer's "printer-message-from-operator" Printer
 Description attribute unchanged.

5.2 job-message-from-operator (text(127))

 The Printer SHOULD support this Operation attribute in following
 operations if it supports the corresponding "job-message-from-
 operator" Job Description attribute.
    Cancel-Job
    Hold-Job
    Release-Job
    Restart-Job
 The client OPTIONALLY supplies this attribute in the above
 operations.  The value of this attribute is a message from the
 operator about the Job object on which the operator has just
 performed an operation.  If supported, the Printer copies the value
 to the Job's "job-message-from-operator" Job Description attribute
 (see [RFC2911], section 4.3.16) (even if this Operation attribute is
 a zero-length text value or consists solely of white space).
 If the Printer supports this operation attribute, it MUST support
 both a zero-length text value and the 'no-value' out-of-band value
 (see [RFC2911], section 4.1), to indicate that the operator has sent
 no message.  In this case, the Printer sets the value of the "job-
 message-from-operator" to the zero-length value or 'no-value' out-
 of-band value, respectively.  If the client queries the "job-
 message-from-operator" Job attribute, the IPP object returns the
 attribute with the zero-length value or the 'no-value' value,
 respectively.

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 23] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

 If the client omits this attribute, the Printer does not change the
 value of its "job-message-from-operator" Job Description attribute.
 Note: There are no corresponding 'job-message-time" and "job-
 message-date-time" Job Description attributes, since the usual
 lifetime of a job is limited.
 The "job-message-from-operator" operation attribute MUST NOT be
 supported as an operation attribute for the Set-Job-Attributes
 operation.  If the operator wants to set the Job's "job-message-
 from-operator" Job Description attribute when issuing the Set-Job-
 Attributes operation, the client MUST supply the "job-message-from-
 operator" with its new value as one of the Job Description attributes
 in Group 2 in the request.  Otherwise, the Printer leaves the value
 of the Job's "job-message-from-operator" Job Description attribute
 unchanged by not explicitly setting the attribute.  If the client
 does not explicitly supply the "job-message-from-operator" with its
 new value in the Set-Job-Attributes request, the Printer leaves the
 value of the Job's "job-message-from-operator" Job Description
 attribute unchanged.

6 New Printer Description Attributes

 The following new Printer Description attributes are needed to
 support the new operations defined in this document.

6.1 printer-settable-attributes-supported (1setOf type2 keyword)

 This REQUIRED READ-ONLY Printer Description attribute identifies the
 Printer object attributes that are settable in this implementation,
 i.e., that are settable using the Set-Printer-Attributes operations
 (see section 4.1).  This attribute MUST be supported if the Set-
 Printer-Attributes operations is supported.  The Printer MUST reject
 attempts to set any Printer attributes that are not one of the values
 of this attribute, returning the 'client-error-attributes-not-
 settable' status code (see section 7.1).  The value of this attribute
 MAY depend on the value of the "document-format" operation attribute
 supplied in the Get-Printer-Attributes operation (see [RFC2911],
 section 3.2.5.1).
 Standard keyword values are:
    'none': There are no settable Printer attributes.
    'xxx':  Where 'xxx' is any of the keyword attribute names allowed
      by section 4.1.1.

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 24] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

6.2 job-settable-attributes-supported (1setOf type2 keyword)

 This REQUIRED READ-ONLY Printer Description attribute identifies the
 Job object attributes that are settable in this implementation, i.e.,
 that are settable using the Set-Job-Attributes operation (see section
 4.2).  This attribute MUST be supported if the Set-Job-Attributes
 operations are supported.  The Printer MUST reject attempts to set
 any Job attributes that are not one of the values of this attribute,
 returning the 'client-error-attributes-not-settable' status code (see
 section 7.1).
 Standard keyword values are:
    'none': There are no settable Job attributes.
    'xxx':  Where 'xxx' is any of the keyword attribute names allowed
      by section 4.2.1.

6.3 document-format-varying-attributes (1setOf type2 keyword)

 This OPTIONAL READ-ONLY Printer Description attribute contains a set
 of attribute name keywords.  This attribute SHOULD be supported by a
 Printer object if the Printer object has Printer attributes whose
 value vary depending on document format (see [RFC2911], Get-Printer-
 Attributes operation).  This attribute specifies which attribute
 values can vary by document-format.  If an attribute's name, "xxx",
 is a member of this attribute and the value of attribute "xxx" is
 changed with the Set-Printer-Attributes operation that included the
 "document-format" operation attribute, then the Printer MUST change
 the value for the specified document format and no other document
 formats (see section 4.1.2).  If an attribute's name, "xxx", is not a
 member of this attribute and the value of attribute "xxx" is changed
 with the Set-Printer-Attributes operation, then the attribute is
 changed for all document formats (whether or not the client supplied
 the "document-format" operation attribute).

6.4 printer-message-time (integer(MIN:MAX))

 This OPTIONAL READ-ONLY Printer Description attribute contains the
 time that the Printer's "printer-message-from-operator" was changed
 by the operator using any operation where the client supplied the
 "printer-message-from-operator" operation attribute (see section 5.1)
 or was explicitly set using the Set-Printer-Attributes operation (see
 section 4.1).  This attribute allows the users to know when the
 "printer-message-from-operator" Printer Description attribute was
 last set.

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 25] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

 The Printer sets the value of this attribute by copying the value of
 the Printer's "printer-up-time" attribute (see [RFC2911], section
 4.3.14).  If the Printer resets its "printer-up-time" attribute to 1
 on power-up, then it MUST change the value of the "printer-message-
 time" to 0 or a negative number as specified in [RFC2911], section
 4.3.14.
 Note: This attribute helps users better understand the context for
 the "printer-message-from-operator" message.

6.5 printer-message-date-time (dateTime)

 This OPTIONAL READ-ONLY Printer Description attribute contains the
 date and time that the Printer's "printer-message-from-operator" was
 changed by the operator, using any operation where the client
 supplied the "printer-message-from-operator" operation attribute (see
 section 5.1) or was explicitly set using the Set-Printer-Attributes
 operation (see section 4.1).  This attribute allows the users to know
 when the "printer-message-from-operator" Printer Description
 attribute was last set.
 This attribute MUST be supported if the Printer supports both the
 "printer-message-time" and the "printer-current-time" (dateTime)
 attributes (see [RFC2911], section 4.4.30).
 Note: This attribute helps users better understand the context for
 the "printer-message-from-operator" message.

6.6 printer-xri-supported (1setOf collection)

 This OPTIONAL Printer Description attribute is a multi-valued
 attribute where each value has the 'collection' attribute syntax (see
 [RFC3382]), containing member attributes with the same semantics as
 the following IPP/1.1 READ-ONLY Printer Description attributes,
 except for cardinality:
    printer-uri-supported (1setOf uri)
        - see [RFC2911], section 4.4.1
    uri-authentication-supported (1setOf type2 keyword)
        - see [RFC2911], section 4.4.2.
    uri-security-supported (1setOf type2 keyword)
        - see [RFC2911], section 4.4.3.
 When setting the "printer-xri-supported" attribute with a Set-
 Printer-Attributes request, the Printer MUST also set these three
 IPP/1.1 READ-ONLY Printer Description attributes as a defined side

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 26] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

 effect.  Thus, this collection attribute provides the means to set
 these three IPP/1.1 READ-ONLY attributes atomically so that they are
 never left in a partially inconsistent state.
 An IPP Printer MUST NOT provide any other way, using IPP, to set
 these three IPP/1.1 READ-ONLY Printer Description attributes, since
 they are READ-ONLY and MUST have consistent values at all times.
 Note:  The "printer-xri-supported" (1setOf collection) attribute can
 be put into a directory schema that requires a single text string
 value, such as could be used with SLPv2 [RFC2608], [RFC2609] or
 LDAPv3 [RFC2251], [RFC2252], [RFC2926], by using suitable delimiting
 characters to separate member attributes of the collection and/or
 terminating collection values.
 The member attributes of the "printer-xri-supported" (1setOf
 collection) are given in Table 3.
    Table 3 - Member attributes of "printer-xri-supported" (1setOf
                              collection)
    Member attribute                             client    Printer
                                                 MUST      MUST
                                                 supply    support
    xri-uri (uri)                                yes       yes
    xri-authentication (type2 keyword)           yes       yes
    xri-security (type2 keyword)                 yes       yes
 Other than the uniqueness and the cardinality requirements, the
 semantics of these three member attributes is given in [RFC2911]
 sections 4.4.1, 4.4.2, and 4.4.3, respectively.
 A client can query the current values using the Get-Printer-
 Attributes operation by supplying either:
 1. the three IPP/1.1 attribute names: "printer-uri-supported", "uri-
    authentication-supported", "uri-security-supported" and getting
    back the parallel values OR
 2. the single attribute name: "printer-xri-supported" and getting
    back the 1setOf collection which contains the same information
    semantically, but in a different form.
 A client can query what member attribute values can be set by
 supplying the three attribute names: "xri-uri-scheme-supported",
 "xri-authentication-supported", and "xri-security-supported" in a

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 27] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

 Get-Printer-Supported-Values request and getting back the uriScheme
 and type2 keyword values that can be set.  Since the "printer-xri-
 supported", "uri-authentication-supported", and "uri-security-
 supported" attributes are READ-ONLY, they are not queriable with the
 Get-Printer-Supported-Values operation (see section 4.3).  See Table
 16.
 For example:
    "printer-xri-supported =
        {  "xri-uri" = ipp://abc.com/p1
           "xri-authentication" = basic
           "xri-security" = tls
        },
        {  "xri-uri" = ipp://abc.com/p2
           "xri-authentication" = digest
           "xri-security" = tls
        },
        {  "xri-uri" = ipp://abc.com/p3
           "xri-authentication" = none
           "xri-security" = none
        }
 would cause the Printer to set the three corresponding IPP/1.1 READ-
 ONLY attributes, each with three parallel values as follows:
    "printer-uri-supported" = { ipp://abc.com/p1, ipp://abc.com/p2,
                                ipp://abc.com/p3 }
    "uri-authentication-supported" = { basic, digest, none }
    "uri-security-supported" = { tls, tls, none }

6.7 xri-uri-scheme-supported (1setOf uriScheme)

 This OPTIONAL READ-ONLY Printer Description attribute identifies the
 URI schemes that the implementation supports for use in the
 "printer-uri-supported" (1setOf uri) Printer Description attribute
 (see [RFC2911] section 4.4.1) and the "xri-uri" member attribute of
 the "printer-xri-supported" (1setOf collection) Printer Description
 attribute (see section 6.6).
 A Printer MUST support this attribute if it supports the setting of
 the "printer-xri-supported" (1setOf collection) with the Set-
 Printer-Attributes operation.

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 28] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

6.8 xri-authentication-supported (1setOf type2 keyword)

 This OPTIONAL READ-ONLY Printer Description attribute identifies the
 Client Authentication mechanisms that the implementation supports for
 use in the "uri-authentication-supported" (1setOf type2 keyword)
 Printer Description attribute (see [RFC2911], section 4.4.2) and the
 "xri-authentication" member attribute of the "printer-xri-supported"
 (1setOf collection) Printer Description attribute (see section 6.6).
 A Printer MUST support this attribute if it supports setting the
 "printer-xri-supported" (1setOf collection) with the Set-Printer-
 Attributes operation.

6.9 xri-security-supported (1setOf type2 keyword)

 This OPTIONAL READ-ONLY Printer Description attribute identifies the
 URI schemes that the implementation supports for use in the "uri-
 security-supported" (1setOf type2 keyword) Printer Description
 attribute (see [RFC2911], section 4.4.3) and the "xri-security"
 member attribute of the "printer-xri-supported" (1setOf collection)
 Printer Description attribute (see section 6.6).
 A Printer MUST support this attribute if it supports setting the
 "printer-xri-supported" (1setOf collection) with the Set-Printer-
 Attributes operation.

7 Additional status codes

 This section defines new status codes used by the operations defined
 in this document.

7.1 client-error-attributes-not-settable (0x0413)

 The Set-Printer-Attributes or Set-Job-Attributes operation failed
 because one or more of the specified attributes cannot be set, either
 because the attribute is defined to be READ-ONLY or the attribute is
 not settable in this implementation (see sections 4.1.3 and 4.2.3).
 The Printer MUST return this error code and the attribute keyword
 name(s) and the 'not-settable' out-of-band value (see section 8.1) in
 the Unsupported Attributes Group (see [RFC2911], section 3.1.7) for
 all of the attributes that could not be set.  When the Printer
 returns this status, it MUST NOT change any of the attributes
 supplied in the operation.

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 29] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

8 Additional out-of-band values

 This section defines additional out-of-band values.  As with all
 out-of-band values, a client or a Printer MUST NOT use an out-of-band
 value unless the definition of the attribute in an operation request
 and/or response explicitly allows such usage.  See the beginning of
 [RFC2911], section 4.1.

8.1 'not-settable' out-of-band value

 The 'not-settable' out-of-band attribute value is returned by the IPP
 Printer in the Unsupported Attributes group of a response to indicate
 that the attribute supplied by the client in the request is READ-ONLY
 by definition or is not settable in this implementation.
 The 'not-settable' out-of-band attribute value is defined for use
 with the Set-Job-Attributes and Set-Printer-Attributes responses
 only.  If a future additional "set" operation allows the 'not-
 settable' out-of-band value, its definition document MUST indicate
 such use explicitly, including with which attributes.
 An IPP object MUST support the 'not-settable' out-of-band value in a
 Set-Job-Attributes or Set-Printer-Attributes request if it supports
 those operations.  A client MUST NOT supply the 'not-settable' out-
 of-band value in any request.  An IPP object MUST NOT support the
 'not-settable' out-of-band value in other operations, unless the
 operations' definition document explicitly defines such usage.  If a
 Printer receives this out-of-band value in any operation request, the
 Printer MUST either (1) reject the entire request and return the
 'client-error-bad-request' status code or (2) ignore the attribute
 and return it with the 'unsupported' out-of-band value.
 See sections 4.1.3 and 4.2.3 in this document for an example
 definition of the usage of the 'not-settable' out-of-band value in
 the Set-Printer-Attributes and Set-Job-Attributes responses.

8.1.1 Encoding of the 'not-settable' out-of-band attribute value

 The encoding of the 'not-settable' out-of-band value is 0x15 (see
 [RFC2910]).  The value-length MUST be 0 and the value empty.

8.2 'delete-attribute' out-of-band value

 The 'delete-attribute' out-of-band attribute value is supplied by the
 client in a request to indicate that the Printer is to remove the
 supplied attribute and all of its values from the target object, if
 present.

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 30] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

 The 'delete-attribute' out-of-band attribute value is defined for use
 with the Set-Job-Attributes request only.  If a future additional
 "set" operation allows the 'delete-attribute' out-of-band value, its
 definition document MUST indicate such use explicitly, including with
 which attributes.
 An IPP Printer MUST support the 'delete-attribute' out-of-band value
 if it supports the Set-Job-Attributes operation.  A client MUST NOT
 supply, and an IPP object MUST NOT support, the 'delete-attribute'
 out-of-band value in other operations, unless the operations'
 definition document explicitly defines such usage.  For example, the
 'delete-attribute' out-of-band value MUST NOT be used in the Set-
 Printer-Attributes operation, where the absence of an attribute from
 an IPP object indicates that the attribute is not supported.  If a
 Printer receives this out-of-band value in other operation requests,
 the Printer MUST either (1) reject the entire request and return the
 'client-error-bad-request' status code or (2) ignore the attribute
 and return it with the 'unsupported' out-of-band value.
 See section 4.2 in this document for the definition of the usage of
 the 'delete-attribute' out-of-band value in the Set-Job-Attributes
 request.

8.2.1 Encoding of the 'delete-attribute' out-of-band value

 The encoding of the 'delete-attribute' out-of-band value is 0x16 (see
 [RFC2910]).  The value-length MUST be 0 and the value empty.

8.3 'admin-define' out-of-band attribute value

 Section 4.3 defines the Get-Printer-Supported-Values response to
 contain the values of an "xxx-supported" attribute that are supported
 by the implementation before any additional values are defined by the
 administrator.  The 'admin-define' out-of-band attribute value is
 returned as an additional value of an "xxx-supported" attribute in a
 Get-Printer-Supported-Values response to indicate that the
 implementation supports allowing an administrator to define
 additional arbitrary 'name' values for that "xxx-supported"
 attribute.
 For example, if the "media-supported" (1setOf (type3 keyword | name))
 attribute contains this value, then the Printer MUST permit an
 administrator to add new media names to the Printer's "media-
 supported" attribute.  In order for an administrator to add new
 values to a Printer's "xxx-supported" attribute, the client supplies
 the existing and new values in a Set-Printer-Attributes request for

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 31] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

 that attribute.  The client MUST supply any such administratively
 defined values in the Set-Printer-Attributes request, using the
 'name' attribute syntax.
 The 'admin-define' out-of-band attribute value is defined for use
 with the Get-Printer-Supported-Values response only.  A Printer MUST
 NOT return the 'admin-define' out-of-band value in a Get-Printer-
 Attributes response, since such a response indicates what an end-user
 client can supply in a Job Creation operation.  If a future
 additional "get" operation allows the 'admin-define' out-of-band
 value, its definition document MUST indicate such use explicitly,
 including with which attributes.
 An IPP Printer MUST support the 'admin-define' out-of-band value, if
 it supports a client setting arbitrary 'name' values of an "xxx-
 supported" Printer attribute using the Set-Printer-Attributes
 operation.  A client MUST NOT supply the 'admin-define' out-of-band
 value in any request.  An IPP object MUST NOT support the 'admin-
 define' out-of-band value in other operations, unless the operations'
 definition document explicitly defines such usage.  If a Printer
 receives this out-of-band value in any operation request, the Printer
 MUST either (1) reject the entire request and return the 'client-
 error-bad-request' status code or (2) ignore the attribute and return
 it with the 'unsupported' out-of-band value.
 This document defines that the 'admin-define' out-of-band value MUST
 be used only with "xxx-supported" attributes that are defined to
 include the 'name' attribute syntax.  This out-of-band value is not
 intended to be used with "xxx-supported" attributes of other
 attribute syntaxes, such as 'uri', even though the administrator
 defines arbitrary values for such attributes.  If other documents
 extend the use of the 'admin-define' out-of-band value to other
 attribute syntaxes, such a document MUST define such use explicitly,
 including with which attributes.
 See section 4.3 in this document for an example definition of the
 usage of the 'admin-define' out-of-band attribute value in any "xxx-
 supported" attribute returned in a Get-Printer-Supported-Values
 response that is defined to include the 'name' attribute syntax.

8.3.1 Encoding of the 'admin-define' out-of-band attribute value

 The encoding of the 'admin-define' out-of-band attribute value is
 0x17 (see [RFC2910]).  The value-length MUST be 0 and the value
 empty.

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 32] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

9 New Values for Existing Printer Description Attributes

 This section contains those attributes for which additional values
 are added.

9.1 operations-supported (1setOf type2 enum)

 The following "operation-id" values are added in order to support the
 new operations defined in this document:
              Table 4 - Operation-id assignments
              Value        Operation Name
              0x0013       Set-Printer-Attributes
              0x0014       Set-Job-Attributes
              0x0015       Get-Printer-Supported-Values

10 Conformance Requirements

 This section specifies the conformance requirements for clients and
 IPP objects.
 Both the Set-Job-Attributes and the Set-Printer-Attributes operations
 defined in the document are OPTIONAL for an IPP object to support.
 Either one MAY be supported without the other or both MAY be
 supported.  However, if the Set-Printer-Attributes operation is
 supported, then the Get-Printer-Supported-Values operation MUST be
 supported if any "xxx-supported" attributes are settable.  Otherwise,
 the Get-Printer-Supported-Values operation is OPTIONAL for an IPP
 Printer to support.
 If the Set-Printer-Attributes operation is supported, then the
 Printer MUST support the following additional items:
    1. the Get-Printer-Supported-Values operation (see section 5), if
       any "xxx-supported" attributes are settable.
    2. the "printer-settable-attributes-supported" Printer Description
       attribute (see section 6.1).
    3. the 'not-settable' out-of-band value in responses (see section
       8.1).
    4. the 'client-error-not-settable' status code (see section 7.1).

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 33] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

    5. if the "printer-message-from-operator" Printer Description
       attribute is supported (see [RFC2911], section 4.4.25), then it
       MUST be settable.
    6. the Get-Printer-Supported-Values operation (see section 4.3),
       if any "xxx-supported" attributes are settable.
    7. If a client can set a value with the 'name' attribute syntax
       for one or more "xxx-supported" attributes, then the 'admin-
       define' out-of-band attribute value (see section 8.3) MUST be
       supported in the Get-Printer-Supported-Values response for each
       such settable attribute (see section 4.3)
 If the Set-Job-Attributes operation is supported, then the Printer
 MUST support the following additional items:
    1. the "job-settable-attributes-supported" Printer Description
       attribute (see section 6.2).
    2. the 'not-settable' out-of-band value in responses (see section
       8.1).
    3. the 'delete-attribute' out-of-band value in requests (see
       section 8.2).
    4. the 'client-error-not-settable' status code (see section 7.1).
    5. if the "job-message-from-operator" Printer Description
       attribute is supported (see [RFC2911], 4.3.16), then it MUST be
       settable.
 It is OPTIONAL for the Printer object to support the "printer-
 message-time" (integer) and "printer-message-date-time" (dateTime)
 Printer Description attributes.  If both the "printer-message-time"
 (integer) and the "printer-current-time" (dateTime) (see [RFC2911],
 section 4.4.30) attributes are supported, then the "printer-message-
 date-time" (dateTime) Printer Description attribute MUST be
 supported.
 As with all out-of-band values, a client or a Printer MUST NOT use an
 out-of-band value, unless the definition document for the attribute
 in an operation request and/or response explicitly allows such usage.

12 Internationalization Considerations

 This document has the same localization considerations as [RFC2911].

13 Security Considerations

 The IPP Model and Semantics document ([RFC2911], section 8) discusses
 high level security requirements (Client Authentication, Server
 Authentication and Operation Privacy).  Client Authentication is the
 mechanism by which the client proves its identity to the server in a
 secure manner.  Server Authentication is the mechanism by which the
 server proves its identity to the client in a secure manner.
 Operation Privacy is defined as a mechanism for protecting operations
 from eavesdropping.
 In addition, the introduction of the Set-Printer-Attributes and Set-
 Job-Attributes operations creates another security threat, since the
 client is able to modify the Printer and Job attributes stored in the
 Printer.  Such modifications could lead to denial of service.
 A malicious user could alter the policy established by the system
 administrator and stored in the Printer attributes.  Such alteration
 could either grant access to more resources or deny access to
 resources that the system administrator has established.  For
 example, the malicious user could remove all of the document-format
 values from the "document-format-supported" Printer attribute so that
 the Printer would refuse to accept all jobs.
 The general remedy for such malicious user actions against Printer
 attributes is to have strong Client Authentication coupled with
 Printer access control, to limit the users who have System
 Administrator or Operator privileges.
 A malicious user could modify the Job Template attributes of another
 user's Job, such as the "copies" attribute.  For example, setting the
 number of copies to a large number.
 The general remedy for such malicious user actions against another
 user's job is to have strong Client Authentication coupled with
 Printer access control to limit the users who have System
 Administrator or Operator privileges who can modify any job and, in
 addition, store the Client Authentication with each Job so that only
 the job owner End User can modify his/her own job.

Appendix A: Allowed Values for Set-Printer-Attributes and

          Set-Job-Attributes requests (Normative)
 This appendix is a normative part of this document and contains a
 table of all IPP/1.1 attributes.  Each row contains:
  1. an attribute and
  1. the values allowed in the Set-Printer-Attributes or Set-Job-

Attributes request for the attribute. The entry in each cell

       is the name (first few words) of each item below 1, 2, 3, 4a-g,
       and 5.
 The allowed values include the following cases:
    1. READ-ONLY: the Set-Printer-Attributes or Set-Job-Attributes
       operation MUST NOT change this attribute and MUST reject the
       entire operation (see section 7.1).
    2. Any of  "xxx-supported": the  Set-Printer-Attributes or Set-
       Job-Attributes operation accepts values that are allowed
       according to the IPP/1.1 rules for validating the value(s) of
       an "xxx" Printer or Job attribute against the value(s) of the
       corresponding "xxx-supported" Printer attribute.  Table 5
       summarizes those validation rules depending on each attribute
       syntax and value of an "xxx" attribute supplied in the request
       and that of the corresponding "xxx-supported" Printer
       attribute.  The "xxx-supported" attribute syntax type and
       value(s) are obtained from a Get-Printer-Supported-Values
       response (see the tables in this Appendix).

    3. From Get-Printer-Supported-Values: the  Set-Printer-Attributes
       operation accepts values that are allowed according to the
       IPP/1.1 rules for validating the value(s) of an "xxx" Printer
       attribute against the value(s) of the corresponding "xxx-
       supported" Printer attribute.  Table 6 summarizes those
       validation rules depending on each attribute syntax and value
       of an "xxx" attribute supplied in the request and that of the
       corresponding "xxx-supported" Printer attribute.  The "xxx-
       supported" attribute syntax type and attribute value(s) are
       obtained from a Get-Printer-Supported-Values response (see
       Appendix B: Attributes returned from Get-Printer-Supported-
       Values below).

 [RFC3196].
    4. Any value of the proper attribute syntax: the Set-Printer-
       Attributes or Set-Job-Attributes operation accepts any value of
       the specified attribute syntax.  The attribute syntaxes
       supported are enumerated below.
          a. Any text(127)
          b. Any name(127)
          c. Any uri
          d. Any boolean
          e. Any positive integer
          f. Any dateTime
          g. 1setOf any uri
    5. Combination of 'Any of "xxx-supported"' or 'Any name'.  If a
       Printer implementation doesn't want to allow setting values
       indicated in this Appendix as "any xxx", it can make the value
       be not-settable.

Appendix B: Attributes returned from Get-Printer-Supported-Values

          (Normative)
 This Appendix is a normative part of this document and lists all the
 attributes that are possible for an implementation to return in a
 Get-Printer-Supported-Values response, i.e., all the "xxx-supported"
 attributes that can be supplied in a Set-Printer-Attributes request.
 READ-ONLY attributes MUST NOT be returned in a Get-Printer-
 Supported-Values response and are indicated in the tables as "READ-
 ONLY - MUST NOT be returned."
 For the following attributes, the value allowed by the Set-Printer-
 Attributes operation MUST be a single integer value in the range
 specified by the value returned by the Get-Printer-Supported-Values
 operation.

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 51] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

   Table 11 - Printer Job Template Attributes returned from

    Printer Job Template Attributes            Values Returned
    job-priority-supported (integer(1:100))    rangeOfInteger(1:100)
 For the following attributes, the value allowed by the Set-Printer-
 Attributes operation MUST be a single rangeOfInteger value whose
 bounds do not exceed those of the range specified by the value
 returned by the Get-Printer-Supported-Values operation.
   Table 12 - Printer Job Template Attributes returned from
                  Get-Printer-Supported-Values
    Printer Job Template Attributes             Values Returned
    copies-supported (rangeOfInteger(1:MAX))    rangeOfInteger(1:MAX)
 The following table has the same criteria as the last, but is for
 Printer Description attributes.
   Table 13 - Printer Description Attributes returned from
                Get-Printer-Supported-Values
    Printer Description Attributes            Values allowed for Set

    job-media-sheets-supported                rangeOfInteger(0:MAX)
    (rangeOfInteger(0:MAX))
 For the following attributes, the value allowed by the Set-Printer-
 Attributes operation MUST be one or more integers and rangeOfInteger
 values, such that the integer values described by these integers and
 rangeOfInteger is the same as or a subset of the integers described
 by the integers and rangeOf Integer of values returned by the Get-
 Printer-Supported-Values operation.

                                                 X))
 For the following attributes, the value allowed by the Set-Printer-
 Attributes operation MUST be one or more values, where each such
 value matches a value returned by the Get-Printer-Supported-Values
 operation.  A keyword, enum, boolean, charset, naturalLanguage,
 uriScheme, mimeMediaType or resolution value matches if it is equal.
 For Job Template attributes, with the attribute syntax 'type3 keyword
 | name', any 'name' attribute syntax value matches the 'admin-define'
 out-of-band value, if the implementation allows the administrator to

Appendix C: Description of the Base IPP Documents (Informative)

 The base set of IPP documents includes:
    Design Goals for an Internet Printing Protocol [RFC2567]
    Rationale for the Structure and Model and Protocol for the
    Internet Printing Protocol [RFC2568]
    Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Model and Semantics [RFC2911]
    Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Encoding and Transport [RFC2910]
    Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Implementer's Guide [RFC3196]
    Mapping between LPD and IPP Protocols [RFC2569]
 The "Design Goals for an Internet Printing Protocol" document takes a
 broad look at distributed printing functionality, and it enumerates
 real-life scenarios that help to clarify the features that need to be
 included in a printing protocol for the Internet.  It identifies
 requirements for three types of users: end users, operators, and
 administrators.  It calls out a subset of end user requirements that
 are satisfied in IPP/1.0 [RFC2566, RFC2565].  A few OPTIONAL operator
 operations have been added to IPP/1.1 [RFC2911, RFC2910].
 The "Rationale for the Structure and Model and Protocol for the
 Internet Printing Protocol" document describes IPP from a high level
 view, defines a roadmap for the various documents that form the suite
 of IPP specification documents, and gives background and rationale
 for the IETF IPP working group's major decisions.
 The "Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Model and Semantics" document
 describes a simplified model with abstract objects, their attributes,
 and their operations.  The model introduces a Printer and a Job.  The
 Job supports multiple documents per Job.  The model document also
 addresses how security, internationalization, and directory issues
 are addressed.
 The "Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Encoding and Transport" document
 is a formal mapping of the abstract operations and attributes defined
 in the model document onto HTTP/1.1 [RFC2616].  It also defines the
 encoding rules for a new Internet MIME media type called
 "application/ipp".  This document also defines the rules for
 transporting over HTTP, a message body whose Content-Type is
 "application/ipp".  This document defines the 'ipp' scheme for
 identifying IPP printers and jobs.
 The "Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Implementer's Guide" document
 gives insight and advice to implementers of IPP clients and IPP
 objects.  It is intended to help them understand IPP/1.1 and some of
 the considerations that may assist them in the design of their client

Hastings, et. al. Standards Track [Page 56] RFC 3380 IPP: Job and Printer Set Operations September 2002

 and/or IPP object implementations.  For example, a typical order of
 processing requests is given, including error checking.  Motivation
 for some of the specification decisions are also included.
 The "Mapping between LPD and IPP Protocols" document gives some
 advice to implementers of gateways between IPP and LPD (Line Printer
 Daemon) implementations.
