We also note that a more recent draft needs to be substituted for the draft submitted for registration." Netherlands "NNi comment on CD 15068-4 POSIX Printing Interfaces We have one minor comment to this worthwhile document. Paragraph 4.10.3.1.2, page 158, line 3255-3242. We are not entirely happy with the delete-after attribute. The accompanying text is somewhat confusing. The last sentence stating that the file should not be deleted if an error occurs during printing or the job is removed, seems apply only to delete-after=printing, although this is not stated. Even if it were stated this can still cause problems. Is printing on a machine that forgot to detect it ran out of toner an error? The user will think it is, but the system can not detect this. I think the user should always be prepared to reprint any document and can never rely on the system to detect that a document is printed to the users satisfaction. Therefore it might be better if this attribute was deleted from your specification. The transition to the printing system you propose is a good time to get rid of unnecessary features." United Kingdom "The UK notes that the latest available draft should be the one presented for CD ballot." United States of America "The USNB would point out that the version of this document that is subsequently balloted as the CD should be the appropriate IEEE draft document to be in compliance with the approved JTC 1/SC22 Synchronization Plan." _______________________end of document SC22 N2348 __________________
