Add a notify-sequence-numbers attribute after the
notify-subscription-ids attribute with the last event id + 1, e.g.:

     ippAddInteger(request, IPP_TAG_OPERATION, IPP_TAG_INTEGER,
                   "notify-sequence-numbers", last_sequence_number + 1);

However, it looks like the current CUPS release is not including the
notify-sequence-number attribute in the Get-Notifications response,
so right now you'll need to keep track of the number of events
you've received.

I've created STR #1747 to track this problem; it should be fixed in
the next CUPS 1.2 patch release.
