Descrizione dispositivo cloud

Cloud Functions Description (CDD) è un concetto generale che incapsula diversi aspetti delle proprietà e della funzionalità di un dispositivo cloud. CDD 1.0 (la versione di CDD supportata da GCP 2.0) organizza questi concetti in cinque formati:

  • CDD descrive le capacità e le caratteristiche del dispositivo.
  • CJT (Cloud Job Ticket) descrive le opzioni scelte per un comando supportato dal dispositivo.
  • CDS (Cloud Device State) descrive l'intero stato semantico del dispositivo.
  • CJS (Cloud Job State) descrive lo stato semantico dei job sul dispositivo.
  • Le impostazioni locali sono impostazioni modificabili dall'utente e che non cambiano con il normale utilizzo del dispositivo.

Questi formati sono definiti nelle sezioni seguenti utilizzando la lingua Protobuf di Google. Vengono comunicati da e verso il server Cloud Print come stringhe JSON serializzate dai protobuf, che rappresentano il modo in cui vengono presentati gli esempi in questa pagina.

Nota: la parola chiave optional deve essere ignorata in queste definizioni di protobuf. Ogni campo che contiene (required) nella descrizione sopra è obbligatorio e tutti gli altri sono facoltativi (o ripetuti).

Descrizione dispositivo cloud - Il formato

CDD è un formato che descrive le funzionalità di un dispositivo connesso al cloud, come una stampante connessa a Google Cloud Print. Alcuni esempi di funzionalità possono includere: stampa a colori, fronte/retro o supporto di formati carta diversi.

Nota: la descrizione del dispositivo cloud è deprecata da Cloud, non è deprecata per l'uso con l'API chrome.printing nelle estensioni su Chrome OS.

Ecco la definizione di protobuf della struttura di dati di primo livello, CDD:

// Description of a cloud-enabled device's capabilities and properties. Also
// known as CDD.
message CloudDeviceDescription {

  // Version of the CDD in the form "X.Y" where changes to Y are backwards
  // compatible, and changes to X are not (required).
  optional string version = 1;

  // Section of the CDD that specifically describes printers.
  optional PrinterDescriptionSection printer = 101;

  // Section of the CDD that specifically describes scanners.
  optional ScannerDescriptionSection scanner = 102;
}

I linguaggi delle funzionalità di stampa come XPS e PPD specificano le funzionalità utilizzando un linguaggio generico e poi utilizzano le parole chiave per indicare quali di queste funzionalità hanno un significato particolare (ad esempio quale funzionalità fa riferimento al colore del documento o al numero di copie da stampare). Il formato CDD utilizza un approccio diverso definendo un insieme specifico di protobuf personalizzati per ogni capacità del dispositivo.

GCP offre uno strumento web che può tradurre automaticamente i file XPS e PPD in CDD e visualizzare l'aspetto della nostra interfaccia utente se si tratta di un CDD valido.

Come si può vedere, i contenuti principali del CDD sono suddivisi in sottosezioni. Inizialmente, queste sottosezioni sono stampanti e scanner. Si può supporre che il CDD possa rappresentare una stampante o uno scanner o anche entrambi: una combinazione di scanner e stampanti.

Nota: le definizioni protobuf delle sezioni scanner di CDD, CJT e CDS verranno comunicate quando GCP rilascerà ufficialmente la sua API Cloud Scan.

Sezione Descrizione stampante

  //   ]
  //

  // in the list. If there is a match, then the document will be sent to the
  // printer as is. If there is no match, then the document will be converted to
  // a content type which the server supports starting from the first option. In
  // this example, if the document is sent as "text/html" and the printer

Biglietto Cloud Job

Dopo che un utente ha effettuato una selezione e configurato i valori delle funzionalità del dispositivo per preparare un processo di stampa, viene creato un ticket del job cloud o "biglietto" per indicare alla stampante o a un altro dispositivo come gestire il lavoro. Questo ticket viene inviato dal client di stampa (ad esempio applicazione di telefonia mobile) al servizio cloud (ad esempio GCP) e archiviato insieme ai dati dei job. Come CDD, il CJT è suddiviso in sezioni specifiche per dispositivo. Ad esempio, sono disponibili sezioni separate di voci relative ai biglietti e riguardano gli scanner.

Nota: il Cloud Job Ticket è deprecato da Cloud, non è deprecato per l'uso con l'API chrome.printing nelle estensioni su Chrome OS.

Ecco la definizione di protobuf di un CJT:

// Description of how a cloud job (e.g. print job, scan job) should be handled
// by the cloud device. Also known as CJT.
message CloudJobTicket {

  // Version of the CJT in the form "X.Y" where changes to Y are backwards
  // compatible, and changes to X are not (required).
  optional string version = 1;

  // Section of CJT pertaining to cloud printer ticket items.
  optional PrintTicketSection print = 101;

  // Section of CJT pertaining to cloud scanner ticket items.
  optional ScanTicketSection scan = 102;
}

Stampa sezione biglietti

La sezione relativa al ticket di stampa del CJT descrive come un processo di stampa dovrebbe essere gestito da una stampante connessa al cloud. Ecco la definizione di protobuf della sezione dei biglietti stampati:

  // Type of page fitting (required).
  optional FitToPage.Type type = 1;
}
// Ticket item indicating what pages to use.
message PageRangeTicketItem {
  repeated PageRange.Interval interval = 1;
}
// Ticket item indicating what media size to use.
message MediaSizeTicketItem {

  optional int32 width_microns = 1;

  // Height (in microns) of the media to print to.
  optional int32 height_microns = 2;

  // Whether the media size selection is continuously fed. If false, both width
  // and height must be set. If true, only one need be set.
  optional bool is_continuous_feed = 3 [default = false];

  // Vendor-provided ID of the MediaSize option. Needed to disambiguate media
  // sizes that may have the same width and height, but may have a different
  // effect for the printer.
  optional string vendor_id = 4;
}
// Ticket item indicating whether to collate pages.
message CollateTicketItem {
  // Whether to print collated (required).
  optional bool collate = 1;
}
// Ticket item indicating whether to print in reverse.
message ReverseOrderTicketItem {
  // Whether to print in reverse (required).
  optional bool reverse_order = 1;
}

Esempio di CJT

Ecco un esempio di ticket prodotto per l'esempio di CDD "stampante tipico" qui sopra:

{
  "version": "1.0",
  "print": {
    "vendor_ticket_item": [],
    "color": {"type": "STANDARD_MONOCHROME"},
    "copies": {"copies": 3}
  }
}

A breve aggiungeremo uno strumento web per tradurre i biglietti cartacei in formato CJT in formati nativi di biglietti (JSON per PPD e un documento psf:PrintTicket per XPS).

Stato dispositivo cloud

L'intero stato del dispositivo è rappresentato da un messaggio CloudDeviceState. Dispositivi di tipo diverso utilizzano sezioni diverse di questo messaggio. I dispositivi multifunzionali possono utilizzare tutte o tutte le sezioni definite. Si prevede che in futuro verranno aggiunte altre sezioni man mano che Cloud Print amplia l'insieme di tipi di dispositivi che supporta.

// Represents the entire cloud-connected device state.
message CloudDeviceState {

  // Supported device states.
  enum StateType {

    // Device is ready to accept jobs. Self-testing, low power and all other
    // states in which the device can start processing newly submitted jobs
    // without user intervention should be mapped into this state.
    IDLE = 0;

    // Processing jobs (e.g. printing).
    PROCESSING = 1;

    // Device cannot process jobs. User should fix the problem to resume the
    // processing (e.g. printer is out of paper).
    STOPPED = 2;
  }

  // Device cloud connectivity state.
  enum CloudConnectionStateType {
    UNKNOWN = 0;
    NOT_CONFIGURED = 1;
    ONLINE = 2;
    OFFLINE = 3;
  }

  // Version of the CDS in the form "X.Y" where changes to Y are backwards
  // compatible, and changes to X are not (required).
  optional string version = 1;

  optional CloudConnectionStateType cloud_connection_state = 2;

  // Defined for devices with printing capabilities.
  optional PrinterStateSection printer = 3;

  // Defined for devices with scanning capabilities.
  optional ScannerStateSection scanner = 4;
}

Sezione Stato stampante

I dispositivi con funzionalità di stampa utilizzano questa sezione per riflettere lo stato dell'unità di stampa.

// Represents the printer state.
message PrinterStateSection {

      // Cover is not functioning properly. Treated as error.
      FAILURE = 2;
    }

    // ID of the cover (refers to CDD model) (required).
    optional string vendor_id = 1;

    // Current cover state (required).
    optional StateType state = 2;
    // Vendor-specific message, ignored when state == OK.
    optional string vendor_message = 101;
  }

  repeated Item item = 1;
}
// State of the device media paths.
message MediaPathState {

  message Item {

    enum StateType {
      // Path is functioning.
      OK = 0;
      // Media is jammed. Treated as error.
      MEDIA_JAM = 1;
      // Path is present, but not functioning properly. Treated as error.
      FAILURE = 2;
    }

    // ID of the media path (refers to CDD model) (required).
    optional string vendor_id = 1;

    // Current state (required).
    optional StateType state = 2;
    // Vendor-specific message, ignored when state == OK.
    optional string vendor_message = 101;
  }

  repeated Item item = 1;
}

Nota: come indicato nel commento per ogni campo vendor_id nelle definizioni protobuf precedenti, l'ID fornitore di ogni articolo di stato per un'unità fisica in un messaggio CDS deve corrispondere all'ID fornitore di un'unità fisica corrispondente nel CDD.

// Vendor-specific state.
message VendorState {

  message Item {

    enum StateType {
      ERROR = 0;
      WARNING = 1;
      INFO = 2;
    }

    // Severity of the state (required).
    optional StateType state = 1;
    // Non-localized user-readable state description.
    // New vendor state items should use description_localized instead. It is
    // required that either description or description_localized is set.
    optional string description = 2;
    // Translations of state description.
    // If not empty, must contain an entry with locale == EN.
    repeated LocalizedString description_localized = 3;
  }

  repeated Item item = 1;
}

Nota: quando possibile, consigliamo di omettere i punti dalla fine dei messaggi del fornitore per garantire la coerenza con i messaggi localizzati prodotti dai dati sullo stato semantico (ad esempio "L'inchiostro nero è vuoto").

Esempio CDS

Ecco un esempio di CDS per la "stampante tipica" del CDD nel caso in cui abbia una cartuccia di inchiostro vuota. Tieni presente quanto segue:

  • I job sono in attesa, da qui lo stato del dispositivo INTERROTTO.
  • Il server presuppone che le unità del dispositivo il cui stato non sia menzionato nel CDS (il vassoio di input e la copertina anteriore in questo caso) siano in stato OK senza informazioni aggiuntive come "level_percent" da segnalare.
  • Il campo "cloud_connection_state" è omesso; verrà impostato dal server nei CDS restituiti dalle interfacce /printer e /search (se il valore "semanticState" è richiesto come campo aggiuntivo).
{
  "version": "1.0",
  "printer": {
    "state": "STOPPED",
    "marker_state": {
      "item": [
        {
          "vendor_id": "black",
          "state": "EXHAUSTED",
          "level_percent": 0
        },
        {
          "vendor_id": "color",
          "state": "OK",
          "level_percent": 88,
          "level_pages": 100
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Interpretazione delle differenze CDS

Il parametro semantic_state_diff dell'interfaccia /update viene fornito come un normale messaggio CloudDeviceState come definito sopra, ma viene interpretato come un messaggio "diff" sul CD archiviato per la stampante, come segue.

  • I campi omessi nel confronto non vengono modificati nel CDS originale.
  • I campi di messaggi nidificati all'interno di PrinterStateSection e ScannerStateSection che forniscono valori vuoti (ad esempio "marker_state": {}) vengono rimossi.
  • Vengono aggiunti o modificati campi di tipo primitivo o enumerato e campi di messaggi nidificati con valori non vuoti.
  • Il campo "version" può sempre essere omesso quando si utilizza il parametro "semantic_state_diff". Se viene omessa e la stampante non ha impostato in precedenza il CDS, il server Cloud Print presumerà che la differenza fornita utilizzi la versione più recente e imposterà di conseguenza il campo della versione.

Stato UI del dispositivo Cloud

Il formato CDS non si presta immediatamente a mostrare uno stato significativo del dispositivo agli utenti, quindi è possibile restituire un formato "Stato UI" richiedendo "uiState" come campo aggiuntivo. La definizione protobuf del formato è visualizzata di seguito.

// Represents a cloud device's state in a form convenient for display in a UI.
message CloudDeviceUiState {

  enum Summary {
    IDLE = 0;
    PROCESSING = 1;
    STOPPED = 2;
    OFFLINE = 3;
  }

  enum Severity {
    NONE = 0;
    LOW = 1;
    MEDIUM = 2;
    HIGH = 3;
  }

  // Device state summary (required).
  optional Summary summary = 1 [default = IDLE];

  // Overall severity (error level) of the device state (required).
  // Must only be HIGH in the case that the device is STOPPED.
  optional Severity severity = 2 [default = NONE];

  // In the descriptions of the following three fields, "CDS is nontrivial"
  // means that CDS is present and there is at least one state item in its
  // PrinterStateSection or ScannerStateSection which is "interesting" enough
  // to produce a UI state item for.

  // Number of issues detected.
  // Present if and only if CDS is nontrivial.
  optional int32 num_issues = 3 [default = 0];

  // Heuristically determined most relevant message from a state item.
  // Present if and only if CDS is nontrivial, the device is not OFFLINE, and
  // the maximum severity of a state item is at least MEDIUM if the device is
  // IDLE or PROCESSING, or at least LOW if the device is STOPPED.
  optional string caption = 4;

  // State items specific to the printing capability of the device.
  // Present if and only if CDS is nontrivial and this CloudDeviceUiState object
  // is being returned in a single printer lookup or in a recent printer search.
  optional PrinterUiStateSection printer = 5;
}
// Contains one UI state item for each CDS state item using the information
// obtained from cross-referencing the CDD.
message PrinterUiStateSection {

  // A UI state item with a severity level and either:
  // (1) a localized message and UI-displayable data from the properties and
  //     state of a particular unit of the device, or
  // (2) a possibly non-localized vendor state message.
  message Item {

    // The severity of this individual state item (required).
    optional CloudDeviceUiState.Severity severity = 1;

    // A message produced from a state item, e.g. Black ink level is 60%. This
    // message may not be localized if it is from a VendorState.Item (required).
    optional string message = 2;

    // A non-localized vendor-specific message that provides additional
    // information about the state of the device unit described by this item.
    optional string vendor_message = 3;

    // The fullness level of an input tray, output bin or marker.
    optional int32 level_percent = 4;

    // The color of a marker.
    optional cloudprint.capabilities.Marker.Color.Type color = 5;
  }

  repeated Item vendor_item = 1;
  repeated Item input_tray_item = 2;
  repeated Item output_bin_item = 3;
  repeated Item marker_item = 4;
  repeated Item cover_item = 5;
  repeated Item media_path_item = 6;
}

Esempi di CloudDeviceUiState

Di seguito è riportato il messaggio CloudDeviceUiState prodotto dal CDS di esempio riportato sopra dall'interfaccia /search (per una lingua inglese). Questa è la forma leggera di CloudDeviceUiState.

{
  "summary": "STOPPED",
  "severity": "HIGH",
  "num_issues": 1,
  "caption": "Ink is empty"
}

Ecco il messaggio CloudDeviceUiState che verrebbe prodotto dallo stesso CDS dall'interfaccia /printer (per le impostazioni internazionali in inglese). Questa forma completa di CloudDeviceUiState viene calcolata eseguendo un controllo incrociato degli elementi di stato nel CDS con le unità fisiche descritte nel CDD utilizzando l'ID fornitore.

{
  "summary": "STOPPED",
  "severity": "HIGH",
  "num_issues": 1,
  "caption": "Black ink is empty",
  "printer": {
    "marker_item": [
      {
        "severity": "MEDIUM",
        "message": "Black ink is empty",
        "color": "BLACK"
      },
      {
        "severity": "NONE",
        "message": "Color ink level is 88% – 100 pages remaining",
        "level_percent": 88,
        "color": "COLOR"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Stato job cloud

La parte indipendente dallo stato di un dispositivo su un dispositivo cloud è rappresentata da un messaggio JobState. L'enumerazione dei tipi definisce l'insieme di base dello stato definito per il ciclo di vita generico del job. Questi tipi di stato non sono specifici per i job di stampante, ma possono essere applicati ai job su qualsiasi tipo di dispositivo.

// Contains the device-agnostic state of a job on a cloud device.

  //   interpreted as the job was stopped due to a temporary problem with the
  //   media path, such as paper jam (the specific cause will be discerned from
  //   the device state by the server).
  // - {"type": "ABORTED",
  //    "device_action_cause": {"error_code": "DOWNLOAD_FAILURE"}}
  //   interpreted as the job was aborted due to a download failure.

  // If present, job state was changed due to user action.

  // If present, job state was changed due to service (Cloud Print) action.
  // Should only be set by the Cloud Print server.
  optional ServiceActionCause service_action_cause = 5;
}

Transizioni dei tipi di stati dei job previste e supportate da Cloud Print:

Stato job precedente

I tipi di stato dei job definiti sopra sostituiscono l'enumerazione dello stato dei job legacy utilizzata nelle interfacce /submit, /jobs e /control; tuttavia, l'enum dello stato dei job è ancora supportato per la compatibilità con le versioni precedenti. I possibili stati dei job legacy sono:
  • QUEUED: il job è stato appena aggiunto e non è stato ancora scaricato
  • IN_PROGRESS: il job è stato scaricato ed è stato aggiunto alla coda delle stampanti native lato client
  • FINE: Operazione stampata
  • ERRORE: il processo non può essere stampato a causa di un errore
  • INVIATO: lavoro inviato a un servizio di terze parti (utilizzato solo per la stampante FedEx)
  • HELD: il job è stato inviato correttamente, ma è in attesa di un'azione da parte dell'utente prima di essere QUEUED

e le condizioni per le transizioni tra questi stati sono disponibili qui.

Stato job di primo livello

Un singolo dispositivo può avere più funzioni (ad esempio stampa e scansione), ma un job su questo dispositivo viene eseguito da una sola funzione. Pertanto, esiste un formato di stato dei job di primo livello per ogni funzione del dispositivo supportata.

Stato processo di stampa

Lo stato del processo di stampa (PJS) viene archiviato sul server e può essere recuperato da tutti i client con accesso al job.

// Represents the current state of a print job on a cloud device.
message PrintJobState {

  // Version of the PJS in the form "X.Y" where changes to Y are backwards
  // compatible, and changes to X are not (required).
  optional string version = 1;

  // Current state of the job (required).
  optional JobState state = 2;

  // Number of successfully printed pages. Printer should use this value to
  // restart interrupted/suspended print jobs from the next page.
  // Printer can only increase the number of pages printed.
  optional int32 pages_printed = 3;

  // Number of attempts to deliver the print job.
  optional int32 delivery_attempts = 4;
}

Differenza stato processo di stampa

I dispositivi cloud possono richiedere modifiche allo stato dei job per tutti i job non in stato finale (FINE o COMPLETATO) inviando un messaggio PrintJobStateDiff.

// Diff that can be applied to a PrintJobState message. Any omitted field will
// not be changed.
message PrintJobStateDiff {

  // New job state.
  optional JobState state = 1;

  // New number of pages printed.
  optional int32 pages_printed = 2;
}

Verranno aggiunti altri formati di stato dei job di primo livello, poiché Cloud Print supporta più funzioni del dispositivo.

Esempi di PrintJobStateDiff

Messaggio PrintJobStateDiff per un processo che è passato da poco allo stato IN_PROGRESS:

{
  "state": {"type": "IN_PROGRESS"}
}

Messaggio PrintJobStateDiff per lo stesso processo dopo la stampa della prima pagina di un documento di più pagine:

{
  "pages_printed": 1
}

Messaggio PrintJobStateDiff per lo stesso processo annullato dall'utente durante la stampa della terza pagina:

{
  "state": {
    "type": "ABORTED",
    "user_action_cause": {"action_code": "CANCELLED"}
  },
  "pages_printed": 3
}

Stato UI processo di stampa

Il formato PrintJobState non si presta subito a mostrare in modo significativo lo stato dei job agli utenti, quindi viene restituito un formato "UI" per tutti i job. La definizione protobuf del formato è visualizzata di seguito.

// Represents a print job's state in a form convenient for display in a UI.
message PrintJobUiState {

  enum Summary {
    DRAFT = 0;
    QUEUED = 1;
    IN_PROGRESS = 2;
    PAUSED = 3;
    DONE = 4;
    CANCELLED = 5;
    ERROR = 6;
    EXPIRED = 7;
  }

  // Job state summary (required).
  optional Summary summary = 1;

  // Localized string describing the progress of the job, e.g. the number of
  // attempts to deliver it or the number of pages which have been printed.
  optional string progress = 2;

  // Localized string describing the cause of an abnormal state of the job.
  optional string cause = 3;
}

Esempi di PrintJobUiState

Ecco il messaggio PrintJobUiState per un job mentre è in corso la stampa della seconda pagina di un documento di quattro pagine.

{
  "summary": "IN_PROGRESS",
  "progress": "Pages printed: 1 of 4"
}

Ecco il messaggio PrintJobUiState per lo stesso processo se l'utente ha annullato il processo sull'interfaccia utente della stampante dopo che la terza pagina era stata stampata, ma prima che la quarta pagina avesse terminato la stampa.

{
  "summary": "CANCELLED",
  "progress": "Pages printed: 3 of 4",
  "cause": "Cancelled by user"
}

Impostazioni locali

Le impostazioni modificabili dall'utente che non cambiano con il normale utilizzo del dispositivo vengono comunicate da e dal server Cloud Print nel seguente formato:

// Contains current and pending local settings.
