/**
 * Class PrinterMoreInfo is a printing attribute class, a URI, that is used to 
 * obtain more information about this specific printer. For example, this  
 * could be an HTTP type URI referencing an HTML page accessible to a web 
 * browser. The information obtained from this URI is intended for end user
 * consumption. Features outside the scope of the Print Service API can be
 * accessed from this URI. 
 * The information is intended to be specific to this printer instance and 
 * site specific services (e.g. job pricing, services offered, end user 
 * assistance). 
 * <P>
 * In contrast, the {@link PrinterMoreInfoManufacturer 
 * PrinterMoreInfoManufacturer} attribute is used to find out more information 
 * about this general kind of printer rather than this specific printer. 
 * <P>
 * <B>IPP Compatibility:</B> The string form returned by
 * <CODE>toString()</CODE>  gives the IPP uri value.
 * The category name returned by <CODE>getName()</CODE> 
 * gives the IPP attribute name.
