Remarks

A client includes a DocumentDescription element in a SendDocumentRequest or AddDocumentRequest operation. The WSD Print Service must validate the Compression and Format child elements to ensure that they have valid values, as specified in the PrinterCapabilities element.

The following syntax block shows that you must also prefix the names of the child elements with the appropriate namespace (in this case wprt), to be certain that your name references apply to child elements in the correct namespace.

<wprt:DocumentDescription>
 <wprt:DocumentId> data </wprt:DocumentId>
 <wprt:Compression> data </wprt:Compression>
  ...
</wprt:DocumentDescription>
