Some attributes are assigned values by the system when you create an
object. Many of those attributes are read only; you cannot set their values.
Other attributes, those that can be defined or modified by you and other
print system users, are called read-write attributes.
The print system supports a great number of attributes; however, you need
not be familiar with all of them. You should become familiar with those
attributes you encounter often.
Attributes have standard names, comprised of one or more words
separated by hyphens. Some examples of common printer attributes are
printer-name, associated-queue-enabled, input-trays-ready,
and sides-supported. Similarly, job-name, job-id, and
job-state-message are examples of job attributes. A document object
can be described by attributes such as document-format, sides, and
number-up.
