/**
 * Class {@code PrinterMessageFromOperator} is a printing attribute class, a
 * text attribute, that provides a message from an operator, system
 * administrator, or "intelligent" process to indicate to the end user
 * information about or status of the printer, such as why it is unavailable or
 * when it is expected to be available.
 * <p>
 * A Print Service's attribute set includes zero instances or one instance of a
 * {@code PrinterMessageFromOperator} attribute, not more than one instance. A
 * new {@code PrinterMessageFromOperator} attribute replaces an existing
 * {@code PrinterMessageFromOperator} attribute, if any. In other words,
 * {@code PrinterMessageFromOperator} is not intended to be a history log. If it
 * wishes, the client can detect changes to a Print Service's
 * {@code PrinterMessageFromOperator} attribute and maintain the client's own
 * history log of the {@code PrinterMessageFromOperator} attribute values.
 * <p>
 * <b>IPP Compatibility:</b> The string value gives the IPP name value. The
 * locale gives the IPP natural language. The category name returned by
 * {@code getName()} gives the IPP attribute name.
