Here are the actions and responses to Carl-Uno's suggestions
for the Requirements document....

document:

>Users want to limit the scope of their search when locating a printer:

>We have no Directory or Printer attributes defined to support this.

"Outside the scope" statement added;
>Page 13:
>
>Printer discovery:
>- cost per page to print [also in several other places]
>- maximum job size (spool size)
>- payment required for printing
>- printer supports compression

>We have no Directory or Printer attributes to support this.

"Outside the scope" statement added

>Page 15:

>We talk about "marking technology" here [and in various other places].

Changed to "- accessible by the client"
>Page 24:

>Select a printer based on:
>- is a public printer (accessible from outside a firewall)

>We have no explicit Directory or Printer attribute to support this. The

Deleted "accessible from outside a firewall"

>Page 26:
>
>Printer discovery:
>
>- Is in Downtown Boulder
>- Give me the Printer's public key
>
>Although we have an unstructured Printer location attribute, is it likely

>We do not have a Directory attribute for the Printer's public key.

Change "Downtown Boulder" to just Boulder Colorado
Deleted "Give me the Printer's public key"
>Page 51:
>
>Searching for printers:
>
>- takes my VISA card
>- gives me a rough cost per page
