Server Attribute Definitions
7.3.1
Description
Server attributes describe the X Print Server. These attributes are created by the X Print Server, and are not defined
in any configuration files, nor are they redefined by the printer ddx drivers. Applications retrieve these attributes
using
XpGetAttributes
from the X Print Extension API.
The following table shows where querying a server attribute value is supported within the X Print Service.

Server Attributes
document-attributes-supported
A list of document attributes supported by the X Print Server. This list is comprised of a
set of whitespace-delimited attribute names.
The list of document attributes shall include only attributes that are handled by the X
Print Server. The full set of supported document attributes for a given printer is
determined by the printer ddx driver. The driver augments the value of this server
attribute, and presents the full set of supported document attributes as the value of the
Printer object
document-attributes-supported
attribute. As such, applications
can only query the Printer attribute and not this Server attribute in order to determine
which document attributes can be used.
job-attributes-supported
A list of the job attributes supported by the X Print Server. This list is comprised of a set
of whitespace-delimited attribute names.
The list of job attributes shall include only attributes that are handled by the X Print
Server. The full set of supported job attributes for a given printer is determined by the
printer ddx driver. The driver augments the value of this server attribute, and presents the
full set of supported job attributes as the value of the Printer object
job-attributes-
supported
attribute. As such, applications can only query the Printer attribute and not
this Server attribute in order to determine which job attributes can be used.
locale
The value of this attribute is the locale in which the X Print Server is running.
