In my last post, I didn't actually blame printer vendors for anything. All I said what that

- the syntax for IPP/1.1 doesn't really appear to be that of RFC1766 (though this isn't completely clear)

- MIB v1/v2 clearly do *not* implement the syntax of RFC1766

- thus, there are back-compat problems even for RFC 3066 -- 3066bis doesn't really change anything (in fact, there are back-compat problems even if we were still at RFC1766)

- and so: All we can do wrt Suppress-Script (as far as printing protocols are concerned) is some damage control for high-importance cases such as en-US and fr-FR.‎
