      In the new javax.print package, a print job object allows a print
      client to install a listener for changes in a specified set of
      job attributes as print job processesing is in progress.
      Principally this is a way of allowing a client to be notified of things
      like how many pages have so far been printed, or how much print data has
      been processed. Such dynamically changing attributes reflect
      only a small subset of the print job attributes likely supported by
      a service and hence to give a client fine control of additional load
      on the print job processing a client , the client is required
      to specify the set in which it is interested.
      This generally requires knowledge of what job attribute types in
      the API are dynamic and asking the job for a snapshot of attributes
      to determine if this print job reports these attributes.

      There is no convenient or reliable way to listen on precisely
      the set of print job attributes which are likely to be updated
      during job processing and report just/all those attribute update events.
