Yeah, it is a lot easier (I was about to download a fresh copy but saw they had an online version so I just used that... :)

Yes, or just "(non-IPP)" or something.

For the purposes of this registration, this would be Get-Printer-Attributes or Get-Notifications since we are querying/getting notified about a specific Printer and not what is loaded/installed on the System (if any).  And that made me re-think the IPP System Service operations to apply a firmware update to a Printer - we need another step for the client directed update:

@startuml

title Firmware Update Scenario 1: Client Managed Firmware Update
autonumber
skinparam sequenceMessageAlign direction

participant Client
participant Printer
participant System
participant Repository

group Client checks for firmware update

Client -> Repository: Firmware update available?
Repository -> Client: Update availability
Client -> Repository: Download firmware update
Repository -> Client: Firmware update file

end group

group Client installs firmware update on system

Client -> System: Create-Resource
Client -> System: Send-Resource w/firmware update file
Client -> System: Install-Resource

end group

group Client installs firmware update on printer

Client -> Printer: Allocate-Printer-Resources
Printer -> Printer: Install firmware update

end group

|||

group Client monitors Printer firmware status

Client <-> Printer: Query/notify firmware update status

end group
