Description: For the MIB: A value of 0 means that the priority was not specified by the job service requester and the system did not specify a default value.

ISO DPA: Job-priority This attribute specifies a priority for scheduling the print- job. It is used by servers that employ a priority-based scheduling algorithm.

A higher value specifies a higher priority. The value 1 is defined to indicate the lowest possible priority (a job which a priority-based scheduling algorithm shall pass over in favor of higher priority jobs). The value 100 is defined to indicate the highest possible priority. Priority is expected to be evenly or 'normally' distributed across this range. The mapping of vendor-defined priority over this range is implementation- specific. [The following DPA sentence is covered by the value of 0, since the DPA range is 1..100. A value of 0 returned by an SNMP agent indicates the same semantics as ISO DPA returning the job object without the job-priority attribute present:] The omission of this attribute implies that the user places no constraints concerning priority on the scheduling of the print-job.
