[cups-devel] [ipptool] How do I retrieve the "-actual" job attributes with ipptool? (Syntax for *.test file)

[Michael Sweet]

Kurt,

Use the "requested-attributes" attribute to explicitly request named attributes, e.g.:

    ATTR keyword requested-attributes number-up-actual,finishings-actual,...

That said, the default is to return everything (that is supported, anyways).

Support the the "xxx-actuals" attributes is not widespread...
