[STR New]
The length of the *cupsIPPReason translation string is limited to
PPD_MAX_TEXT, which is sent to 80 bytes.
We have a lot of legacy error strings that can not be easily shortened to
80 bytes, and are requesting a "text URI" scheme to allow encoding longer
strings. This enhancement would ease our transition to CUPS drivers.
For example:
text:///your%20error%20message%20here
and then you could put that in the attribute, e.g.:
*cupsIPPReason com.vendor-error:
"text:///your%20error%20message%20here"
There would also be a need to define how to extend URIs past the 255
character line limit (maybey a trailing backslash), or perhaps multiple
text: URIs can be merged, for example:
*cupsIPPReason com.vendor-error: "text:///your%20error
text:///message%20here"
*End
would produce the combined text "your error message here".
